Maxwell AFB PCS Move: 5-Day Decluttering & Dumpster Rental Strategy

## Mastering Your Permanent Change of Station (PCS) in Montgomery
Relocating under military orders brings strict moving deadlines and strict Household Goods (HHG) weight caps. Exceeding your authorized weight allowance can cost thousands in out-of-pocket government overage fees.
### Step-by-Step 5-Day Decluttering Schedule
- **Day 1: Sort by Category**: Divide household items into Keep, Sell/Donate, and Trash. Focus on worn furniture, broken outdoor playsets, old mattresses, and accumulated garage gear.
- **Day 2: Roll-Off Dumpster Arrival**: Schedule delivery of a compact 10 or 15-yard roll-off directly to your driveway in Montgomery, Prattville, or Millbrook.
- **Day 3: Garage & Yard Cleanout**: Purge bulky garden tools, rusted patio furniture, damaged storage bins, and worn lumber.
- **Day 4: Interior Purge & Walk-In Loading**: Use the rear swing door to easily walk heavy mattresses, broken desks, and obsolete electronics straight into the container.
- **Day 5: Prompt Pickup & Weight Confirmation**: Our team hauls the container away before the military transport truck arrives, leaving your driveway clean for final inspection.
