Are you deciding what to do with all the clothing, furnishings, and other items that you plan to leave behind during your next move? You could toss them out but that would be a waste, especially for items that are in good shape. You could sell them but that takes time and effort, and both might be in short supply when moving.

The Atlanta residential movers at ALS Van Lines might have just the solution!
