How to Stay Sane When Making an Inter-NYC Move

“Moving”: the word that can cause stress in anyone just by being uttered. Moving isn’t easy, and for many Americans it is one of the most stressful life events. So, is there any way to make it easier? Well, besides hiring professional movers – we’re pretty partial to Shleppers Moving & Storage ourselves – there are a few things you can do to alleviate the pressure of a big move, especially if you are moving from one part of NYC to another.

Make a Plan

It may sound obvious; buy you would be surprised at just how many people approach moving without a plan. An inventory is the best way to handle this. It can be shocking seeing just how much stuff you actually move once the packing process begins. By making an inventory list, you know exactly what you have, and thus can decide what is and what isn’t making the move with you. Decide what you are donating, and what is getting tossed in the trash bin.

Kicking it to the Curb

Once you know what you need to get rid of, it is important to consult the NYC Department of Sanitation’s rules regarding trash on the curb. Essentially, they will take most large garbage off of your hands, including mattresses and box springs. In order to have the items picked up, an appointment must be scheduled. Electronics will have to be disposed of elsewhere – although many electronics stores do have a free electronics recycling program.
