I have done a major clear out over the past couple of years but there is still more to work my way through (some of it is stuff that I wasn't ready to let go of the first time round).<br />I'm lucky in that friends & family will take items if they can use them - I work for a church that does a lot of outreach work in the downtown community so we are always collecting clothes, toiletries etc. - and we have a yearly book sale that is a popular fund raiser so that takes care of those. And I'm also lucky in that my superintendent always knows of new immigrant families and she packs up a barrel every year to send home to the Azores for family there so she happily accepts anything that I don't want.<br />We have a recycling bin that is collected once a week out back and I have a shredder so that takes care of the paperwork!<br />I too would be shocked if I saw someone just throwing out items that could be so useful to others.<br /><br />Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-71748604176521424192019-10-10T09:20:34.806+01:002019-10-10T09:20:34.806+01:00Deliberate Decluttering!

"I don't use this...oh, but...what if...maybe I could..." and then, the item stays put! :DBlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-82674879500497477692019-10-10T08:49:53.506+01:002019-10-10T08:49:53.506+01:00I am on a mission at the moment too, but I am taki...I am on a mission at the moment too, but I am taking a slightly different approach. It is good to come at this stuff problem from all angles and I am going through each room and trying to make it look clean, minimal and in the process doing a bit of editing and styling either by moving things to other rooms or even replacing worn out items for something newer - this instantly gives the room a lift.wherethejourneytakesme2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01331935561823130257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-26599830029328185452019-10-10T08:14:00.345+01:002019-10-10T08:14:00.345+01:00It's very good to consciously declutter- I'...It's very good to consciously declutter- I'd be distressed like you at that blaise form of decluttering that you encountered. The Le Creuset is a lovely thing to be offered and I'm glad you found a home for all the other items. By the way, WHY were you up so late and why was it a bizarre evening??? Hoping you are ok!x Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.com
