De-Cluttering is a liberating experience

You have had that benefit, now it is time for others to benefit from your unwanted items.

Charities:

There are numerous charity shops that would love the clutter you no longer need. Here is a list of just a few:

Recycling

You have taken all your unwanted clothes, crockery and trinkets to a charity shop. Now you could be left with items that cannot be sold but may be able to be recycled like paper, plastic, glass and tin.

Have a look at www.recyclenow.com

On this website you can put in your postal code and it will inform you about recycling in your area.

Another good website is www.recycle-more.co.uk

There are mountains of slightly out of date PC, so deal with your unwanted computer in a responsible way by donating it to www.donateapc.org.uk. They repair and donate the computers to charities and not-for-profit organisations.

Quite often your local supermarket will have a recycling station set up in the car park. This is a very convenient location, so next time you are shopping have a look.

Selling items:

There are several avenues for selling what you no longer need or use, including the following:

Car boot sales
