Home Downsizing in Frewville, SA

Rob and his wife Mai faced the logistical task of downsizing and relocating to a smaller home in Lightsview, leaving the large family home for a compact townhouse. This brought about the question, what to do with a lifetime of possessions? Rob was determined to ensure that most of their unwanted belongings were donated or reused, resonating with his lifelong commitment to charity.His initial reluctance to use removalist or waste collection services stemmed from concerns about the environmental impact and indiscriminate discarding into landfills. In our initial consultation, we informed Rob about our donation program, which aligned perfectly with his values. In this case, Rob and Mai had already sorted what items they would donate and had organised the charities they were going to; all we had to do was deliver these items to the nominated charities.Rob observed how his belongings were meticulously sorted. To his surprise, some unwanted items destined for landfill were sold to a second-hand dealer, with the proceeds offsetting his some of their transition costs. The remaining items were carefully hand packed and moved to the new property, where we helped unpack and set up the larger items so that they were ready to go when they moved in.Rob and Mai’s experience is a testament to our sustainable approach, and it has become an example of how a home downsizing project could align with personal values and make a positive community impact.
