Downsizing Before a Move? We Work Alongside Your Movers

If you’re searching for moving assistance for seniors, it helps to know who does what. The Junkluggers lightens the load: We help you sort out what’s staying with you, and then we remove, donate, and recycle everything that isn’t making the trip. We don’t transport belongings to your new home. However, by clearing out the extras before moving day, we make the mover’s job faster and often less expensive.

Need help downsizing your home before the moving truck arrives? Schedule us a week or two ahead of your move, and coordinate with your moving company or senior move manager for the rest. For larger transitions, our estate cleanout team can clear the entire property once you’ve moved on.

What We Remove During a Senior Downsizing Project

When we provide junk removal for seniors, we haul away practically anything and everything that you no longer want. In addition to in-home projects, we clean out outbuildings, yards, and commercial properties too. Some of the items we take include:

However, we cannot remove hazardous materials such as chemicals, solvents, paint, oil, or asbestos. A separate waste specialist must handle those items.

Why Seniors and Families Trust The Junkluggers

The Junkluggers offers compassionate, supportive, and respectful services because we understand that downsizing can be an emotional process. Our friendly and reliable experts are here to help you every step of the way, from organizing your belongings to deciding on what to donate. 

Moreover, we’re committed to finding a second home for as many items as possible. Instead of just tossing them in a landfill, we sort through each item to determine what we can repurpose, recycle, or rehome. This gives seniors and their families peace of mind knowing that we’re recycling, donating their unwanted belongings to local charities, and helping to protect the environment. This eco-friendly and hands-on approach is the primary reason that downsizing seniors and their families choose us over other downsizing companies.

Senior Downsizing Services FAQs

Still have questions about our downsizing services for seniors? We’ve provided the answers to some frequently asked questions below.

Senior downsizing is the process older adults go through when they begin decluttering their homes, often in preparation for a move to a smaller space. It usually involves sorting through belongings and deciding what to keep, donate, toss, or pass on to friends and family. Unwanted items can cause clutter, create safety hazards, and require more upkeep, so removing them is a smart decision. Downsizing is also helpful if you’re deciding to move to another location, such as a smaller home, a relative’s house, or an assisted living community. Our home downsizing services are just as valuable when you’re staying put and simply want less to maintain.

Knowing when to downsize is different for everyone. However, if you’re beginning to feel like your current space is too large or difficult to handle on your own, it may be time to consider downsizing.

We provide a personalized estimate for every customer to offer the best price possible. Factors that impact the cost include the size of the home, the amount of items to be removed, and if we are providing additional services during our appointment.

Our team understands that certain belongings hold sentimental value, so we handle them with care and respect. We’ll help you sort through your items and set aside those that you plan to keep for yourself and your beneficiaries.

The Junkluggers has the skills, expertise, and equipment to remove items from your home safely, protecting your floors, walls, and the belongings you’re keeping. We treat you and your home with respect from the first knock to the final sweep. Please note that we don’t transport belongings to your new residence; your moving company will handle that part, while we take care of everything that you’re leaving behind.
