一句芬兰谚语说，"幸福是介于太少和太多之间的地方"。
对于许多长期的房主来说，"太多 "的转变可能在不知不觉中发生。多年来 "东西 "的积累，繁忙的日程安排，以及根本没有时间来最终整理地下室、阁楼或车库....。
当房主面临搬到一个新的地方时，这一切都可能导致一个压倒性的任务。
许多房主不甘心将所有的物品打包，希望在拆包时能找到时间进行分类和丢弃。但是，有一个更好的方法!
丢弃和捐赠
Discard & Donate professionals help sort, organize, and remove items prior to a move. Taking this time upfront enhances the marketability of a home during showings, reduces the overall cost of a move, and helps homeowners settle into their new homes more quickly. Not to mention, Discard & Donate also reduces transferees’ stress levels by providing part consultants, part coordinators, and part hard workers to support your employees and their families.
ESG Considerations
分类、丢弃或捐赠对环境的影响也很大。一些搬家公司计算出每次搬家时通过消除纸板和包装材料而节省的树木数量。除此之外，还有节省燃料和通过捐赠重新利用物品而不是把它们送到垃圾填埋场。
Not all household goods shipments are created equal, in terms of carbon emissions. In fact, the carbon footprint of air shipments is disproportionately high compared to other transportation modes, making it imperative for businesses and global mobility programs to seek sustainable alternatives; This includes preventing the item from ever being shipped by leveraging Discard & Donate.
该服务如何运作
Relocation management companies (RMCs) like WHR Global work with these Discard & Donate providers to aid employees, families, and their employers. The homeowner first completes a needs assessment with the provider to determine the scope of services needed. They can arrange for unwanted items to be picked up and donated to charity. Any goods that are unable to be donated will be taken by the provider to the appropriate waste removal site.
When determining which household items to keep, discard, or donate, it’s critical for relocating employees to ask themselves the following questions:
- 你是否经常使用该物品？
- 它有感情上的价值吗？
- 你是在保存 "以防万一 "吗？
- 你是否有多于一个？
- Can you easily replace it in the destination?
成本
Pricing for Discard & Donate is determined by the amount of goods discarded or donated. However, if you — the employer — are paying for the move, the service fee is nominal compared to the transportation savings (with an additional $.65 per lb. of savings remaining).
例子。移除2000磅的家庭用品
Standard shipping cost: $2,400
Discard & Donate fee: –$1,100
Savings on one shipment: $1,300
总结
Just remember: “The more things you own, the more they own you.” Relocating employees have enough concerns, including housing, timelines, cost of living, and more.
