Although relying on professional residential movers can greatly reduce your anxiety and stress when going through a big move, you still have to decide which items will be moving with you to your new home, and which ones will not be. Here is a simple guide that might help you decide whether to pack something, toss it, or donate it:
Follow the Two-Year Rule
If you are debating whether or not to move a certain item, such as an old coffee table or an armoire that is tucked away in the attic, consider the two-year moving rule. That is, have you seen or used this item in the past two years? If you haven’t used it in two years, chances are that it is not worth moving. Unless it holds sentimental value, consider donating the item instead of moving it.
Ask Yourself If an Item is Worth Moving
Moving to a new home can be expensive, so you should put a great deal of thought into which items you want to move and which ones you should part with. Keep your moving costs down by asking yourself if it is worth moving certain items or pieces of furniture. Be honest with yourself—if you know that you will never use an item again, leave it behind and save some money.
Consider the Shape that the Item is in
If you have decided not to move a certain item, your next step is to decide whether it should be discarded or if it can still be of use to someone. If the item is in complete disrepair, it should probably be tossed out. If it can be reused, consider donating it to Goodwill, a local charity, or another worthy cause.

Packing your pots and pans correctly will prevent dings, nicks, and scratches from occurring during the moving process. Find yourself some boxes and large sheets of paper, and you’re ready to get started.
The packing process is fairly straight forward. You’ll use the paper as a cushion within the box and to wrap your cookware. Watch this video to learn how to nest your pots and pans inside each other, how to pack their accompanying lids, and the best way to store them inside a box.
