Default Unused/Unwanted Items

I think everyone could mostly likely go through their home and find at least a few things that aren't needed, wanted or used.

I was thinking about this last night because I know I have things around here I don't need or use, though I didn't want to just toss them out with the trash because the landfills are full enough as it is and I don't want to add more than necessary.

So I started gathering everything up and I am getting ready to take them into a couple of different places that will turn around and sell this stuff fairly cheaply and then use the money to help those who are in need.

Normally I would just store this stuff until warmer weather hits and have a yard sale, but I already have a good bit of stuff for a yard sale so this stuff I am now gathering up will be donated to help others.

Also making donations to a shelter is a great option as well there is a endless list of shelters that could use good used products


women abused shelters could use clothes for them and for childern
churchs can use them .homeless shelters can use just about everything u can think of
so ur yard sale is a wonderfull idea good luck

I could probably fill up three dumptrucks with stuff that no one uses around here. It's aweful! I really do need to make the time to sort through everything and get it down to the Goodwill. There is no sense in this stuff laying around here untouched. I am sure someone can make good use of it.

I agree and when the weather is like this (snowy and cold) it is a good time to start gathering up all that stuff you don't want and don't use. I know I have been gathering up stuff and plan on taking it in this week. I am always looking through these kinds of places for things that I could actually use while giving them things that I don't use.

It's a nice switch off. Needless to say I don't end up walking out with many things if anything at all because I already have to much,.
