How to Get Rid of Your Stuff in SF Before a Move

Moving out in San Francisco

Every day we meet people that are moving or that have been tasked to move on behalf of a loved one. The most important first step is the de-clutter. What will be kept, what can be sold, what will be donated, and what will be thrown away?


The task feels overwhelming so we have a handy list of resources to consider:


Charitable Organizations, many will pick up furniture, electronics, clothing, and even building materials.

Out of The Closet

The Arc SF

Habitat for Humanity

Parca


Consignment, there are many of clothing consignment shops throughout the city, but we were interested to learn about this new online consignment shop for household items.

Fine Estate

Sweet Home Estate Liquidation

Remoov



Give it Away, post it for free and you can usually get a taker fast!

Freecycle

Nextdoor

Craigslist



Throw it Away, sometimes throwing things out feels like the hardest part.

Recology - Did you know that Recology will pick up furniture, mattresses, and appliances? You can schedule a pick-up or drop off at the Transfer Station.

Paint Care - Dry paint cans can be tossed in the garbage, but for those old cans that are unidentifiable to any room or past their prime; it can be very expensive to have paint picked up for removal, but this website gives options on where old cans can be dropped off.

1 800 Got Junk - Sometimes you just need everything gone, quickly.



If you work with Design Milagros, we do require homes are deep-cleaned prior to staging. You want the home to sparkle - clutter-free. If Design Milagros is chosen to do cosmetic work on your home, including the cleaning, we do offer hauling services. Just ask!
