Whether you own a home or rent an apartment, at some point you will need to dispose of items you no longer want. There are many options to consider – renting a dumpster, donating items, hiring a house cleanout service, or doing everything yourself. There are pros and cons to each of those options, whether it is time saving or money saving.
Regardless of the type of home lived in, we all use basically the same furniture, the same kitchen and laundry appliances, have full wardrobes of clothes, and own various electronic, utility, entertainment, storage, sentimental and décor items.
