Have no mercy and be ruthless in your Declutter
Go round each room of the house with a bin bag emptying drawers shelves and any areas where stuff accumulates which you just do not need. A good tip to remember is: if you haven’t used it in the past six months, get rid of it. Do not to buy products in bulk before your home move. It makes your job harder and you either lose useful household products. Or have to lug them around with you; neither of those are good options. Once you have made a neat stack (or in some cases, a messy pile) out of your useless items. Decide what to donate and what to sell. By getting rid of all of your unwanted belongings, you save tons of space for new items you will actually use. Nicks removals can take old furniture to the tip or even get it recycled.
Charity shops will collect old furniture certain household items may be exempt non checked electricals and sofas without fire labels. The British heart foundation are on of the charity organisations who do collect.
