Donate Before You Move
If you are like most Americans, you have things that you simply don’t need or want anymore. At T-N-T Moving Systems, we strongly believe in donating unwanted items to local charities. Before you pack up and move with all those things you don’t want, consider donating to a local charity of your choice. It will actually save you time and money to get rid of stuff you don’t want before you move instead of after.
