Unwanted Clutter

What can I do with my unwanted clutter?

• Don't know what to do with things that you don't want to keep and don't want to throw away like rubbish?

• Below are some suggestions for what to do with that unwanted, but still functional / complete / working clutter.

  
  

• Things to consider include:

  How much time do you have? If you’re limited on time then you might be best to spend what little time you have doing the clutter clearing and giving away to charity any unwanted clutter you have to charity or other people.
      
  What is your priority? To spend time selling your unwanted clutter each time you do some clutter clearing, or spending what time you have on doing the de-cluttering?  If it’s the former then fine, it’s just going to take longer to completely clear your clutter.  If it’s the latter, then giving your unwanted clutter away will mean you clear your clutter completely both quickly and minimum fuss.
  
  
  Do you have a lot of items that ideally you’d let go of but have sentimental value to you? Could they have some historic significance?  Local towns, villages and even national museums are always interested in memorabilia that relate to the area or period, and it’s a way of ensuring that lots of people can benefit from your historically sentimental unwanted items.
  
  

  Know of any reduce, reuse, recycle or donation campaigns that aren't listed here?

  When Clare set up Clutter Clearing she came from a charity and recycling background. She was therefore adamant that she wanted to support charities and their shops that could turn unwanted clutter into much needed cash, and all reduce, reuse and recycling campaigns.

• Charity Shops

The Credit Crunch means that charity shops are suffering.  More and more people want to turn unwanted clutter into cash which means charity shops are getting fewer and fewer donations.

If making money out of your unwanted clutter isn’t a priority then do think about giving it away.  Not only is it helping a good cause but it will give you the feel good factor.
