Identify And Eliminate Fast Start

To get you off to a fast start, you should:

1/ Requested the free Take Inventory Worksheet or Purchas Home Inventory Software

2/ Have your Inventory Organizing Aids in place

3/ Commit enough time to finish the Identification and Elimination task

Identification

As you identify each item on the Take Inventory Form, place it:

* With Other Similar Items To Be Stored

* In The Repair Container

* In The Give Away Container

* In The Garage Sale Container

* In The Garbage Container

Elimination

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.
