It can be very tempting to keep hold of our old possessions. After all, some can have sentimental value and others can still be worth a fair chunk. No one is suggesting you get rid of these items. More so that you should take a moment to re-assess what should stay and what should go. It’s almost 2017 and you don’t want to start a new year holding onto the past. Instead, you should hire a skip and ask yourself the following questions.
Will I ever use it again?
First and foremost, you need to consider how much use you are getting out of something. If the answer is ‘none’ or ‘very little’, then it’s essentially just clutter. You could always try and palm it off on a friend or relative, but the chances are they won’t want it either. Simply throw it in the skip and be done with it.
Is it even worth anything?
Often people keep hold of things because they’re under the impression that they are worth something or might be one day in the future. This is often true with clothes. However, unless you think 80s fashion is suddenly going to become a goldmine, the answer to this question is probably ‘no’. There was a time and a place for shoulder pads and it’s not now.
Why have I even kept it?
The answer to this question should spring to mind immediately. If it doesn’t and you find yourself racking your brain, then it is clear what you should do – chuck it in the skip! Your only regret will be keeping it for so long in the first instance.
What are you waiting for?
Life will be a lot easier once you’ve finished with the clear out. Luckily, skip hire is affordable and provides you with the perfect opportunity to start afresh before 2017. Contact Bateman Skips today to start moving forwards.
