Things To Get Rid Of This Weekend

Clutter makes a house feel smaller than it is. A focused weekend of decluttering can change that. Here are the things to get rid of this weekend for an instant sense of space.

Where it goes

Item Why it works
Donate Good-condition clothes, books, kitchenware
Recycle Paper, cardboard, old electronics at e-waste points
Sell Furniture, gadgets, branded items
Trash Broken or expired items
Hazardous drop-off Old paint, batteries, chemicals

Kitchen

  1. Expired food and spices.
  2. Mismatched food containers without lids.
  3. Duplicate utensils and gadgets you never use.
  4. Chipped mugs and glasses.

Bathroom

  1. Expired medicines, returned to a pharmacy take-back.
  2. Old makeup and skincare.
  3. Hotel toiletries you will never use.

Bedroom and closet

  1. Clothes you have not worn in a year.
  2. Worn-out shoes.
  3. Old bedding and towels, donated to animal shelters.

Living areas

  1. Old magazines and papers.
  2. Dead cables and chargers.
  3. Broken decor and toys.
  4. DVDs and CDs you no longer play.

Tip: Put donation bags straight into your car. Clutter that stays in the hallway tends to creep back in.
