Get a supply of packing tape to seal the boxes – the kind that comes in a dispenser is easiest to use. Black permanent markers will help with labeling the boxes once they are packed. Get some paper sheets a roll of bubble wrap for breakables.
Organize
Prepare some large boxes or bags for cast-off items and label as “Donate,” “Shred” and “Trash.” The items that really would not do anyone any good, such as wrappers, empty bags or broken items should go into the trash box. Into the shred box go any old receipts, medical papers or things with otherwise sensitive information that you do not want showing up in a dump. You may also want one that says, “Return” on it, for items you may have borrowed.
Sort

Arrange items in boxes and label them by room so they can be taken into the correct area of the house or apartment upon arrival.
