3-Day Moving Plan: Declutter, Pack, and Clear Out With Ease

Moving house can feel like an overwhelming task, but with the right plan, you can get everything done and packed in just three days. By breaking down the process into clear and manageable steps and hiring a skip bin, you’ll make the move faster and easier.

Day 1: Create A Moving Plan & Decluttering

The first step to a smooth moving day is to create a moving plan. Plan how you will tackle your move by going room by room and deciding what items you want to keep, donate or throw away. This makes packing more organised and ensures that you are not bringing unnecessary or hoarded items to the new house.

 

For larger clear-outs, hiring a skip bin is the simplest way to remove any unwanted furniture, boxes, or rubbish conveniently.

 

Day 2: Packing Your House

Now that you have decluttered your house to prepare for the move, and thrown any of your unwanted items into the skip bin, it is now time to pack your essential items. Start your packing day with the kitchen items and clearly label them as fragile. Move room to room through the house and ensure you are leaving nothing behind.

 

Packing your house can also reveal forgotten or broken belongings that are hiding at the back of cupboards. Instead of packing this general waste into your moving truck, consider hiring a skip bin to make the cleanup safe and efficient.

 

Day 3: Clearing Out The House

Moving day has finally arrived, and the focus needs to be on moving your boxes and furniture as safely as possible. Load the moving truck with your packed boxes and larger furniture, then do a final sweep of each room to check if you have left anything behind.

 

It is common to come across last-minute items that you’re unsure about, and if you decide to throw them away, put them into your skip bin so they do not follow you into your new home. Once everything is loaded, give your old house a final clean so it is ready for the new occupants. Finally, unpack and enjoy having dinner in your new home.
