Un proverbe finlandais dit : "Le bonheur est un endroit entre trop peu et trop."
Pour de nombreux propriétaires de longue date, le passage au "trop" peut se produire sans même que l'on s'en rende compte. Une accumulation de "choses" au fil des ans, des emplois du temps chargés, et tout simplement pas de temps pour enfin organiser la cave, le grenier ou le garage.....
Tout cela peut conduire à une tâche écrasante lorsque les propriétaires doivent déménager dans un nouveau lieu.
De nombreux propriétaires se résignent à emballer toutes leurs affaires et espèrent trouver le temps de les trier et de les jeter lors du déballage. Mais il existe une meilleure solution !
Jeter et donner
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
L'impact environnemental du tri, de la mise au rebut ou du don est également important. Certains déménageurs calculent le nombre d'arbres sauvés à chaque déménagement en éliminant le carton et le matériel d'emballage. Cela s'ajoute aux économies de carburant et à la réutilisation des articles par le biais de dons au lieu de les envoyer à la décharge.
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.
Comment fonctionne le service
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:
- Utilisez-vous l'article régulièrement ?
- A-t-il une valeur sentimentale ?
- Vous le gardez "au cas où" ?
- En avez-vous plus d'un ?
- Can you easily replace it in the destination?
Le coût
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).
Exemple : Enlever 2 000 livres d'articles ménagers
Standard shipping cost: $2,400
Discard & Donate fee: –$1,100
Savings on one shipment: $1,300
Conclusion
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.
