Post-Holiday Moving? Donate, Declutter, and Start 2026 Fresh with Morris Moving

The holiday season in Savannah and the Lowcountry brings joy, family gatherings, and often, an overflow of new gifts, decorations, and memories. By January, many Savannah, Pooler, Statesboro, and Hilton Head households find themselves facing cluttered rooms and the challenge of starting a new year with a fresh perspective—especially if a move is on the horizon. If you’re planning a post-holiday move in 2026, Morris Moving is here to guide you in donating, decluttering, and making the transition seamless and stress-free.

Why January Is the Ideal Time to Declutter

January in Southeast Georgia and South Carolina is filled with a renewed sense of organization and purpose. Cooler weather, fewer social obligations, and the desire for a fresh start make it the perfect month to tackle the clutter that accumulates over the holidays. Decluttering now not only simplifies your upcoming move, but it also lightens your load and sets the tone for a more organized year ahead.

How Do I Start Decluttering After the Holidays?

One of the most common questions movers face is: “How do I start decluttering after the holidays?” The key is to break the process down into manageable steps. Focus on one room at a time and determine what to keep, donate, or discard.

Tips for Efficient Post-Holiday Decluttering:

• Begin with holiday decorations: Store only what you use each year and donate gently-used decor to local charities in Thunderbolt, Richmond Hill, or Garden City.
• Sort through gifts and duplicates: If you received new kitchen gadgets or electronics, consider donating older but still functional items.
• Declutter closets: The New Year is ideal for letting go of clothing you no longer wear. Donate winter coats, hats, and gloves to local shelters in Savannah and Hinesville.
• Organize children’s rooms: Sort through toys, games, and books, setting aside those in good condition for donation to local organizations in Pooler or Bluffton.

Where to Donate in the Savannah Area

Supporting local charities while decluttering your home is a wonderful way to give back to the community. Morris Moving recommends these trusted donation centers:

• Goodwill and Salvation Army (multiple locations across Savannah and Pooler)
• Old Savannah City Mission
• Habitat for Humanity ReStore (great for furniture and decor)
• Local churches and nonprofits in Isle of Hope, Georgetown, and Wilmington Island
• Always call ahead to confirm donation hours and accepted items.

Decluttering Trends for 2026: Sustainable Moving and Conscious Giving

Eco-friendly moving and conscious giving are more than just trends—they’re priorities for many households in 2026.
