Moving House? A Rubbish Removal & Declutter Guide
The best time to declutter is before you pack, not after you unpack. Here's how to move only what matters.
By Matt from Lanky Services ·
Declutter before you pack
Every box you do not pack is one you do not have to move, unpack and find a home for. Go room by room and be ruthless with broken, duplicate and never-used items.
Clear the rubbish in one hit
Old furniture, a dead fridge, garage junk and green waste do not need to come with you. Book a rubbish removal before moving day so you start fresh in the new place.
Bought something for the new place?
Grabbed furniture online for the move? Our pickup and delivery service can collect it from the seller and drop it to your new door.
