Move Less, Stress Less: A Professional Decluttering Service

When preparing for a life transition, you are not just clearing clutter; you are reducing the amount that has to be packed, carried, stored, and unpacked. Reducing the volume of your belongings before packing begins can significantly lower your moving and storage costs while making the entire transition much more efficient.

When you need to clean up years of unwanted items before your move, you need more than just a truck backing into your driveway and bagging junk. You need a team that respects your property and sorts and removes unwanted items professionally. 

Slattery Moving & Storage provides professional junk removal services focused on careful decluttering, downsizing, and cleaning your home. Floors, walls, doorways, and surrounding property are properly protected as items are carefully removed from the residence.

Moved interstate (NY-> FL) and everything went great. It involved use of their storage facility for ~ 2 months and I'm very happy with the outcome. No changes in the quoted cost. Easy to reach by phone. I made the right decision to use Slattery.

They were an amazing team from customer service, to movers. What I really liked was that there was a video call to see what you are taking on your move. Although I did not use the junk removal service , that was an option I was going to use. The movers were fast , professional and kind. They took care of our items like it was there’s. Just an great experience overall. I had recommendations from Facebook groups and my realtor in which we purchased our home. Moved from Tarrytown, Ny to Suffern, Ny.

Slattery Moving has done a wonderful job of moving all my stuff from New York all the way to Florida. They kept all the things safe and was very well organized with everything. I recommend this moving company to anyone those who are moving especially long distance. They have a good size truck that can fit any of your things. Chris was very responsive with all my communications and they were prompt with everything and delivered all my stuff on time as well as picked up my stuff on time. Very professional with everything. I definitely recommend.

Slattery was booked for my move date, but one of the owners still opted to stay on the phone with me for 30 minutes to provide expert advice on how to choose a mover. Very knowledgeable, experienced, and caring…and his insight was also very helpful!

Frequently Asked Questions About Junk Removal & Downsizing

Can junk removal be done before the move?

Yes. In fact, we highly recommend it. Removing unwanted items before move day can drastically reduce stress, lower your overall moving volume, and help the final move run much more efficiently.

Common removal needs include unwanted furniture, appliances, household clutter, empty boxes, garage items, basement debris, and any everyday household items that are not going to the new home.

Yes. Downsizing moves, especially for seniors transitioning into smaller residences or assisted living, are often much easier when unwanted items are removed before the packing and moving phases even begin.

The cost of junk removal services is generally based on the volume of the items being hauled away and the labor required to safely remove them from the property. Unlike other companies that might alter prices on-site, Slattery includes all your decluttering, downsizing, and unwanted item removal needs directly into a Guaranteed Quote… no surprises.

Absolutely. We can seamlessly incorporate your unwanted item removal into your overall plan, coordinating your decluttering, full-service packing, storage solutions, and final delivery all through one dedicated Move Manager.

Clear the Clutter Before You Move
