If your closet and bookshelves and even the space under your bed has no more room to put things, it can be stressful. Clutter leads to chaos and chaos leads to screaming for mercy. Bust that clutter and you will find yourself breathing a sigh of relief.
You could find a great home for all this overabundance of stuff by giving someone else a chance to own it. It may be just what they are looking for. And you are recycling not clogging the landfills.
There are many ways to do this:
- Give it to someone you know
- Donate it to a thrift shop
- Post an ad at your local Freecycle website
- Put a notice up on a bulletin board
- Advertise in the newspaper
- Have a garage sale
- Sell at an ecommerce site like eBay.

Great post! We do all need to reuse and recycle. In our prosperous days, lots of us became used to "out with the old, in with the new." Many of us don't have that luxury any more, so it's good for our pocketbooks as well as for Mother Earth.
