Help! How Do I Get Rid Of THIS?!
As a professional organizer, I visit many homes. My clients do not fit any certain profile – singles, marrieds, ages ranging from 25 to 80, kids, no kids, etc. I’ve noticed with the variety of clients that I have, there are some categories of belongings that I see repeatedly wreaking havoc on my client’s spaces because they don’t know how to get rid of them. Towards that end I wanted to provide some suggestions to become a minimalist – haha just kidding – to get rid of those nagging unwanted household items. Here’s my recommendation. Do what is easiest for you to do. Idealism and perfectionism keep us stuck. Choose realistic instead of idealistic. Choose progress over perfect. Top 6 Tricky Items To Get Rid Of: 1. Paint 2. Medications (including sharps) 3. Non-donatable clothing 4. Electronics 5. Books 6. Baby Items PAINT MEDICATIONS Pills/capsules Needles NON-DONATABLE CLOTHING (stained, ripped, or overly worn) ELECTRONICS BOOKS/BIBLES BABY ITEMS DISCLAIMER: If you live outside of the twin cities, my apologies as these are local resources. These are some suggestions, but by no means an exhaustive list. This is for household use only, not businesses. Policies change so you may want to call the location before you make a run. Hence this information is as of January 2018 and not necessarily until the end of time. 🙂
