New Orleans Moving Tips: Donate or Recyle When Packing for Your Move

New Orleans Moving Tips: Donate or Recyle When Packing for Your Move

January 17, 2012 By Crescent City Living

One of the most common complaints I hear when people have to start the packing process before moving is “I have so much STUFF” and “what is the best way to move a piano”, well in this article we will answer that for you.

We all have a tendency to accumulate things/stuff/junk in our homes.  If you are one of those people that never keeps something just in case, then this is not for you.  For the rest of us, getting rid of things can be a chore.

Fortunately, there are a couple of really easy ways to dispose of things you no longer want, and certainly don’t want to move, that could be useful to someone else.

New Orleans Moving Tips

pickupplease.orgPickUpPlease

This website allows you to schedule a free pickup of unwanted household goods, clothing, small appliances, and small furniture. It’s easy, easy, easy to just go to the site, provide your pick up address and choose from several different pick up dates throughout the month.

I used the service this week and loaded up my front porch with bags of clothes that no longer fit (don’t ask), a box full of coffee cups (I have no idea where they all came from), an old end table, and a box of what appeared to be every curtain that has ever hung in my home at one time or another.  When I got back home, all of the items were gone and they left behind a door hanger receipt for tax purposes.  You can’t get much better than that!  The bonus is that donations are used to support local, state, and national programs for Vietnam Veterans of America.

Visit pickupplease.org

freecycle.orgfreecycle.org

Freecycle is a community group that posts items they are offering for free or allows folks to request items they are in need of.  You’ll have to create an account with them, but once that’s done, you can post your discards on the site for pickup by anyone in need.  I’ve used this site as well, getting rid of shoes that I don’t wear anymore by giving them to a member of the Krewe of Muses who is busily gluing, glittering and otherwise embellishing shoes for the parade this year.

If you know of any other local businesses accepting donations that we can support or get the word out for, please leave their information in the comments below.
