The Big De-junk

I'm trying to dejunk my house/life before getting the shipping
companies in for quotes.
I've got tons of boxes that my stuff came in (coffee maker, video
etc), is it worth keeping these? or does the shipping company sort out
all the wrapping??
Any suggestions on helpful tips to do the de-junk?? At the moment, I'm
spending half my time trying to stop my husband saving bits of tat off
the junk pile!!
I have an almost overwhelming urge just to set fire to the lot.. that
would save me a lot of work ;P

Cheers,

Karen.

I've kept all my boxes too! I figured it would only help?! anyone move recently and can advise?

Been doing it for months. Started of gently and now getting really brutal with stuff. I'm not keeping the boxes on the principle that the removers can compact it down better without.

Good point, that will reduce the volume and may make it cheaper...
Off to the tip for me then!!
Thanks.
