Other Ways to Use Moving Labor Help

HireAHelper isn't just for moving day! You can also use our platform to find movers who can help with:

• Moving Furniture: Need to rearrange your home or set up a new space? Movers can lift and position heavy items exactly where you want them.
• Loading Heavy Items for Disposal: Whether you're clearing out old furniture, appliances, or other bulky items, movers can handle the heavy lifting into a trailer, dumpster, or curbside.
• Load or Unload a Storage Unit: If you’re moving items into or out of storage, extra hands can help pack, stack, and organize everything efficiently.

Tip 1: Make Sure Your Move Doesn’t Disrupt Key Services

You must notify the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles of your new address within 30 days of moving—online, by phone, or in person. If you're changing neighborhoods, call the Mansfield Department of Public Works at 508-261-7335 or stop by Town Hall to update your utilities. Setting up USPS mail forwarding ensures you don’t miss documents sent to your old address during the transition.

Tip 2: Plan for Winter Weather

New Englanders are pros at braving winter conditions, but ice and snow can make your move challenging. Head to Mansfield Ace Hardware or Home Depot on West Street for salt or sand for walkways and stretch wrap to protect mattresses and furniture from moisture.

Watch the weather forecasts and be flexible about rescheduling if a winter storm is expected to roll in.

Tip 3: Recycle Unwanted Items

Packing is the perfect time to get rid of items you no longer need—like dead batteries, worn-out socks, or that box of old VHS tapes. Mansfield Green Recycle Park accepts many of these items, but you'll need a resident recycling sticker, available at the Town Hall. If you have large items to dispose of, Waste Management provides curbside pickup for a fee.
