As you handle each item, ask yourself the questions below, then place it in a group, category or
one of the storage containers. Has the item been worn or used in the last 2 years? If not, dispose of it. Can we do
without it? Yes, No Are we keeping it because of sentimental reasons? Yes, No If the item is a keeper, but needs
repairs, place it in the repair container. Be careful. Don't keep items you tell yourself that "I may need it one
day", because you probably won't.
There are 4 Basic Ways To Dispose Of Items
1/ Have a yard or garage sale. You will be surprised
at price some of your items will bring. The saying one persons trash is another's treasure might work for you
2/ Donate to a charitable organization. There are
several that will pick up items from your home. It is even possible to get a tax benefit for donated items.
3/ Give away free to friends or needy. Better than
paying dump fees.
4/ Garbage Dump should be last resort. You could have
to pay a dump fee, but that's probably less than the cost of storing. In any event, the peace of mind should be
worth the cost.
Identifying each item and determining what to keep, what needs repairs, what to give away, what to
sell, and what goes to garbage can be time consuming. However, the results should be worth it.
