Living with a "pack rat" can be challenging and difficult to talk about. Junk Vets Junk Removal has some great suggestions to help you work through eliminating clutter and junk from your home! Try these easy steps:
Start Small-One Drawer One Shelf
Begin with a tiny, manageable space. Success builds momentum, and small wins feel less intimidating than tackling a whole room.
Use the “Keep, Toss, Donate” Rule
Sort items into three simple categories. If it hasn’t been used in a year, doesn’t spark joy, or duplicates something else—consider letting it go.
Take Photos of Sentimental Items
For things with emotional value but no practical use, snap a photo before donating. You keep the memory without keeping the clutter.
Set A Timer
Declutter in short bursts—15 to 30 minutes max. It keeps the process focused and prevents burnout.
Have a Supportive Team
A supportive family member or friend can help declutter with understanding and patience.
