📦 Declutter Before You Move: Spring Cleaning Tips from a Eugene Moving Pro

Thinking about moving this spring? You’re not alone. Spring is the season of fresh starts, and here in Eugene, Oregon, the mild weather, longer days, and blooming energy make it the perfect time to tackle your clutter and prep for a stress-free move.

At WDA Movers, we’ve helped countless families and individuals move more efficiently just by starting with one important step: decluttering before the move. It saves time, reduces stress, lowers your moving costs, and in some cases—it can even help pay for the move itself.

Here’s how to take full advantage of Eugene’s Spring season and get your move started the right way:

🌦️ Why a Spring Move (and Eugene Weather) Is Ideal for Decluttering

Eugene’s spring weather is just right for getting things done—not too hot, not too cold. It's the sweet spot for throwing open your garage, cleaning out your closets, and finally sorting through that basement or storage unit.

Plus, with summer just around the corner (when real estate and moving both heat up), getting a jump on spring cleaning now gives you a major head start before the rush.

🧹 1. Go Room by Room to Avoid Overwhelm

Don’t try to tackle the whole house at once. Pick one room—like the garage, a closet, or even your junk drawer—and set a timer for 30 minutes. Use this moment to ask:

• Do I use this regularly?

• Will I want to unpack this in my new place?

• Is it worth paying movers to transport it?

Breaking your home down into manageable areas will keep the process stress-free and more productive.

📦 2. Use the 4-Box Method

This tried-and-true decluttering strategy makes decision-making simple.

Label four boxes:

• Keep

• Donate

• Recycle

• Trash

You’ll stay organized and avoid second-guessing every item.

Bonus: you'll have donation piles ready for drop-off at St. Vincent de Paul, Goodwill, or Habitat for Humanity ReStore right here in Eugene.

💸 3. Host a Yard Sale and Fund Your Move

Here’s a tip from the pros: spring yard sales in Eugene are hot. People are outdoors, visiting farmers markets, walking the neighborhoods, and on the hunt for good deals.

Selling your unwanted stuff is a great way to declutter and earn extra cash. A successful yard sale could cover part—or even all—of your moving costs.

• Promote your sale on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and local Eugene Facebook groups

• Post visible signage on key intersections

• Offer deals like “fill a bag for $5” or bundled discounts

💰 4. Save Money by Moving Less

The fewer items you take with you, the more you save—simple as that. At WDA Movers, we price moves based on time, weight, and labor. Less stuff = lower costs. It also means less stress and faster unpacking once you're in your new home.

📦 5. Use Specialty Boxes for What You Keep

Once you’ve decluttered, protect what matters most. We offer custom-made boxes, tailor-fit crating, and specialty packing solutions for:

• Antiques and collectibles

• Fragile items & kitchenware

• Flat-screen TVs and electronics

• Odd-shaped or oversized items

• Memorabilia

• Artwork

  
  

Whether you're moving across town or across the state, your valuables are safe with us.
