Is your teenager off to college this month? Do you have visions of transforming his room into a home gym, guest bedroom, a spa for mom, or an awesome man cave?
But how to get to that divine new state from skateboard stickers, smelly lacrosse socks, and banged up, jumped on, questionably stained, and all around abused furniture?
The first step is to keep that vision of your new, shiny space in your head. Of course, junk removal is a key step in the process. But don’t be overwhelmed, instead try a proven strategy for the quickest and greenest results.
Start with the standard 4-pile junk removal method:
-
Keep – this pile might include sports trophies, yearbooks, and anything that reminds you of Johnny when he was still adorable and loved mom more than anything – before friends, girls, music and just about everything else that Johnny considers more important now.
-
Donate – anything that wasn’t buried so far down in the closet that it reeks of those lacrosse socks, isn’t ripped apart and/or missing pieces – and generally has some life left in it that some other teenage kid might enjoy.
-
Recycle – that which you don’t want to keep nor would someone else want to inherit, but doesn’t need to hit the landfill
-
Junk aka ‘Trash’– none of the above, mostly stuff you have to pick up with gloves while holding your nose
Now what? You have the piles. How to go about the junk removal and furniture pick up?
You’re on your own to find new homes for the “Keep pile!”

Getting ready to move? Hopefully you’re just changing residences to somewhere nearby—we’re not sure why you’d ever want to leave the Sonoma and Marin County area!

You might think that you don’t care how you get rid of your junk. You just want it gone, whether that means renting a dumpster or hiring junk movers.
