Junk Removal: Don’t Take It With You
Now, you have to be aware before I go into this that I have moved SEVERAL times in my lifetime. Coming up on my twenty-seventh year in a little over a week, I have probably moved about 15 times total, 5 times in the last 5 years. Why? Well, I can tell you it’s not because I like it. In fact, I hate it. I hate wrapping glasses, packing boxes, lugging heavy objects up and down stairs, and trying to navigate large peices of furniture through winding hallways. I am getting frustrated just thinking about what I have had to deal with while moving in the past.
With that being said… ladies and gentlemen, it is that time for me again. I am moving once more, hoping to stay put for at least two years in this next apartment. And while I normally would get an instant migraine at the thought, I am actually welcoming the change. This is because I really do want NEW!
It occured to me the other day, while I was rummaging through my belongings at home, that most of the stuff I was planning to pack, I haven’t used. I mean, I really haven’t used these items in at least a year, and I didn’t miss them. I’m talking about half of my christmas decorations, various board games with missing peices, a busted up filing cabinet that is collecting dust and so very much more. Why should I bring this junk with me? A lot of it is useless and busted. I mean, there are some peices of furniture that are good but match nothing else I own and just aren’t my taste anymore. I have boxes of misc. knick knacks, papers and scraps that I will never display or use. I don’t want any of this junk anymore! I am definately not taking it with me.
Unfortunately, I have way to many items to put out in the trash. Not to mention, I live on the top floor, so I really don’t want to have to lug any of these items down two flights of stairs. After doing a bit of research I found out I could have this company, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, come to my apartment and remove my junk for me. I mean, they do everything! They come out and give me a free estimate, I show them where my junk is (all over my apartment) and they carry it out and haul it away for me. I NEVER HAVE TO SEE IT AGAIN! This is exactly what I was looking for. So I visited their website and booked online as easy as 1-2-3. They are going to come out the day I move to take whatever I leave behind in my apartment. That’s it! I am free after that.
I have to say, the idea is so liberating. I really am moving to a new apartment, in a new city, with no clutter! A complete fresh start. On top of that, I am not going to have to move any of that junk. LESS WORK FOR ME! It’s amazing, and strange to say, but I can’t wait to move.
