How to dispose of accumulated belongings after graduating from your studies in Hungary.

This seemingly simple task has been frustrating many of the newly graduated students in Budapest, as during their average 6 years of studies in Hungary, they have accumulated many furniture pieces which they won't require at their respective countries, and by the time they finish their universities, there is a 6 years gap between them and the newly arriving students which hampers the communication capabilities between the two groups. Taking into consideration that most of the students arrive from various countries, and don’t speak Hungarian, they find themselves helpless with the various Hungarian rules and regulations regarding disposing of their accumulated belongings.
In this guide we will summarize the various available ways to dispose of this heavy furniture as well as recommend some ways to ease the communication barrier between the various groups attending the many universities in Hungary and assist in the finding of related and required services.
First of all, there is a need to divide between those interested in shipping their belongings to their country of origin, and those students who need to sell/dispose of their accumulated items. It is important to understand that while many of the students have bought furniture pieces throughout almost half a decade of their studies, the value of the furniture and electronics is likely to be quite high. While on the other hand, due to the sheer weight of it, the international shipping and handling of the cargo will usually be quite expensive.
For those interested in transferring their belongings to their respective homelands, the best solution will be to post word of it on their university forums, allowing them to create a group of interested parties to split the high cost of the delivery. By creating groups oriented by countries and specific zones within the country, the newly graduated students can save a considerable sum of money on the transfer of their heavy belongings and furniture pieces from their apartments in Budapest, to their home towns. However, they will still need to follow up the terms and guidelines of their delivery and take into consideration that container freight by sea will take a relatively long time to arrive to its destination, on the other hand, it is widely preferable to use transfer by sea, as the advantages guarantee a more safely delivery of the cargo. For example – when delivering cargo by sea in a sealed container, there is less handling with the contents of the container itself and the container can be moved relatively easily via various delivery methods (see to port, and from there by train or truck to its destination).
