Declutter like a pro before your Philly move! Follow the essential 215 City Movers rules to simplify your packing, save time, and move smarter.
Before you start boxing up every item you own, take a breath. One of the most overlooked yet powerful steps in the moving process is purging — letting go of what you don’t need. At ProMovers Philadelphia, we’ve seen it all: clients overwhelmed by boxes filled with items they haven’t touched in years. That’s why we follow the "215 City Movers Rules" — our proven checklist to make your local move faster, cheaper, and easier.
What Are the 215 City Movers Rules?
These aren’t just tips — they’re golden rules designed for local moves in Philadelphia and surrounding areas. Here's what they include:

Begin with obvious throwaways: old magazines, expired pantry goods, random cords, and broken items. If you didn’t use it in the past year, it's time to let it go.
If you haven’t worn it, used it, or remembered it in over a year — chances are you won’t miss it. This rule alone can reduce 30% of what you pack.

Don’t try to purge your whole house in one day. Tackle one space at a time — kitchen, bathroom, bedroom — and be ruthless with what stays.
Designate an area for donations, giveaways, and trash. This visual separation helps keep you focused and makes it easier to part with things.
You’re not just moving — you’re starting fresh. A successful purge saves you time, reduces moving stress, and cuts your overall cost with us.
