Pre-Christmas Clear Out
October is the perfect time to declutter the spare room before the festive season begins.
Expecting family for Christmas? If your spare room is currently a junk room, don’t panic. The best time to fix it is earlier than you think—well before December—so you’re not trying to clear a room while you’re also shopping, decorating, and managing end-of-year workload.
Why October/September is the sweet spot
- Better availability for collections
- Less stress (you can do it in stages)
- More time to donate and recycle properly
- Space to plan any decorating or repairs
Start with the “easy wins”
If you’re stuck, don’t start with emotional items. Start with obvious rubbish and anything broken. Getting quick progress builds momentum.
Room-by-room checklist
- Bag obvious rubbish: old packaging, broken items, unwanted clutter.
- Separate donations: clothes, books, and usable items.
- Pull out bulky waste: broken furniture, old mattresses, unwanted wardrobes.
- Clear access: keep a walkway so removal is fast.

FAQ
Do I need to bag everything?
No. Bagging helps with small loose items, but bulky items can be collected as-is.
