Summer is just around the corner, and while you're probably dreaming of beach days and relaxation, there’s one last hurdle before you can fully enjoy your break—move-out season. Whether you live in a dorm or an off-campus apartment, packing up and clearing out can be overwhelming. But don’t worry! With the right waste disposal services and planning, you can make the process faster and smooth. Check out these 10 tips to make move-out easier and handle bulk trash teh right way!
1. Start Early
Procrastination and moving out don’t mix. Start packing non-essential items at least two weeks before your move-out date to avoid last-minute chaos.
2. Declutter as You Pack
Don’t haul unnecessary clutter home! Sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or toss. Need a hassle-free way to dispose of bulk waste?
3. Sell or Donate Unwanted Items
Gently used clothes, furniture, and decor can find new homes instead of ending up in a landfill. Organize a donation drop-off or use resale apps to sell items you don’t need.
4. Coordinate with Roommates
Avoid duplicate efforts by creating a shared checklist with your roommates. Divide up cleaning tasks and coordinate shared item disposal.
5. Reserve a Dumpster for Bulk Waste
Large furniture and excess trash can quickly pile up. CWS offers durable dumpsters in multiple sizes, making disposal easy and efficient for dorms and apartment complexes. Plus, with reliable pickup schedules, you won’t have to worry about overflowing waste!
6. Clean Before You Leave
Many housing contracts require tenants to leave their space spotless to avoid fines. Wipe down surfaces, vacuum, and dispose of all trash properly.
7. Use Proper Packing Supplies
Save yourself a headache by using sturdy boxes, packing tape, and labels. Label each box by category or room to make unpacking a breeze.
8. Check Your Lease for Move-Out Guidelines
Different apartments and dorms have different move-out policies. Avoid last minute surprises. Make sure you follow all required steps, such as returning keys and submitting move-out inspection forms.
9. Plan Your Move-Out Day Logistics
Scope out where dumpsters are located, when trucks come for waste pickup, and where to park for loading. A little planning goes a long way.
