フィンランドのことわざで、"幸せとは、少なすぎと多すぎの間にあるものだ "というのがあります。

長年家を所有している人の多くにとって、「多すぎる」状態への移行は、気づかないうちに起こっているものです。長年にわたる「もの」の蓄積、忙しいスケジュール、そして単に地下室、屋根裏部屋、ガレージを最終的に整理する時間がない......。

そのため、引っ越しをする際には、大変な苦労を強いられることになります。

多くの家庭の所有者は、すべての荷物を梱包し、荷解きしながら分類や廃棄をする時間を見つけることを望んでいます。でも、もっといい方法があるんです

廃棄・寄贈

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.

また、分別や廃棄、寄付をすることによる環境負荷も大きい。一部の引越し業者は、段ボールや梱包材をなくすことによって、それぞれの引越しで節約できる木の本数を計算しています。これは、燃料の節約や、埋立地に送る代わりに寄付によって品物を再利用することに加えて、である。

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. 

サービスの仕組み

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:

  1. そのアイテムを定期的に使用していますか?
  2. 感傷的な価値を持っているか?
  3. "念のため "と思って保存しているのでしょうか?
  4. 複数お持ちですか?
  5. Can you easily replace it in the destination?

コスト

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).
