As I look through this list, I realize that I don’t have a problem getting rid of things. My problem comes with WHAT TO DO with things or WHERE to donate them? I just can’t stand the idea of throwing things in the dumpster where it fills more space in a landfill. That just makes me crazy!!
Find a community resource that will accept any donations! I think food banks will often times take items! There are always people in need in the community! Our town has a swap shop that takes almost everything as part of our dump/recycle endeavors! Also elderly housing often has a donation location. Give all clothes to the Goodwill, Salvation Army, Armed forces, etc! These places will often offer pickup!
Animal shelters or no kill shelters will take towels, blankets, clothes, etc. even food and toys!
