What's the Best Way to Clean Out a House Before Moving in Boise, Idaho?

Local junk removal services can help you clean out quickly. They’ll take care of the heavy lifting and hauling and donate usable items on your behalf.

Everyone who’s moved knows how it feels. You start packing and suddenly you realize you have a lot more stuff than you thought. You might have an entire basement, garage, and attic full of things you don’t think about and that you don’t want coming with you.

It’s frustrating to be stuck with old furniture. Or appliances you’ve long-since replaced. Or boxes that have been sitting in storage so long the labels on them have faded and you’re not sure what’s inside.

It’s a great idea to schedule junk removal before your moving crew shows up. This will make the moving day go faster and it’s a lot cheaper than a bigger-than-it-had-to-be moving bill.

In the Boise metro, peak moving season runs from May to September. If you’re planning to move during those months, book your pre-move cleanout one to two weeks before the moving truck arrives. This will give you plenty of time to go through your belongings and figure out what should stay and what should go.

Here’s how it works with The Junkluggers of Treasure Valley. You schedule an appointment and a two-person crew arrives at your home. They walk through everything you want removed, including furniture, appliances, boxes, garage clutter, yard equipment, whatever you're not taking. If you approve the price, they get to work immediately. Most residential cleanouts are completed in a single visit and you won’t have to lift a thing (including that old treadmill downstairs).

Your stuff also doesn’t go straight to a landfill either. The Junkluggers routes usable items to Boise-area charities and thrift stores first. Everything gets donated first, recycled second, and disposed of responsibly as a last resort. For any applicable items donated on your behalf, you’ll receive a donation receipt within 14 business days.

The Junkluggers of Treasure Valley provides pre-move cleanout and junk removal services across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Star, Kuna, Caldwell, and surrounding communities. If you’re getting ready for the big moving day and you want to declutter first, you can book a free, no-obligation on-site estimate to get the process started.
