Hangers Way too many Hangers! Sell if in good Condition and Toss if Broken
Is your closet overflowing with Hangers that are not ever being used? No need for 500 hangers that's just ridiculous and instead of tidying you're cluttering instead. Have just enough Hangers for your clothing and a few spares maybe 5. Toss the Broken cheap Plastic ones you get from stores and Sell Hangers that are in good shape on Buy and Sell pages on Facebook. You can find a Buy/Sell Page in your area. Amazon and Ebay are also websites to sell your old Hangers.
Baby Toys when your kids have grown out of them-Donate/Sell
When your children have reached a certain age they will have no need for Wooden Blocks or Baby Teething Rings. Rule of thumb if they are no longer playing with them, they dont need them. That means they have lost interest in them. Sit with your child and take time going through their toys and tell them we need to get rid of some toys. Show them toys and ask them if they want to keep it or get rid of it. If your child does not want to part with toys you will need to make the choice for them. They may be upset but explain to them that we do not need all of the toys just ones we only play with. Explaining to them will help and teach them that we dont need so many toys and responsibility and cleaning. Donate or Sell your childs unused older toys in a Rummage Sale or Give to a Resale Store like Goodwill.
Candles that are all the way worn down-Toss
If your Candles are so far down that the wick is basically the only thing sticking out and less than an inch of wax, it is time to part with it. You have gotten your use out of it and now it can be disposed of. Time to go to the store and pick up a new candle and for me thats always fun!
Medications that are past their Expiration Dates-Safely Dispose of with Law Enforcement, Hospitals and Local DEA Programs
Never ever ever Flush old Medications it is bad for the environment! Instead contact local Law Enforcement, Hospital or your local DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency). These options will be safe and legal to dispose of outdated Medications.
Old Condiments and Dried up Spices-Toss Immediately
Old Spoiled Condiments need to be tossed out immediately so they can not make you ill. Some items can be kept after their expiration date for maybe a week, but do not get Sell By Date and Expiration Dates confused. Sell By Dates are when they need to be sold from the store. Expiration Dates are needed to be used by the date stamped onto the product. Onto Spices, they do last a long time but you will know when they are spoiled. They will become clumpy and extremely hard. Toss them when you notice this.
Outdated Jewelry-Sell
If you have some pieces of Jewelry you no longer wear or are even Outdated I suggest especially if they are real Gold or Silver to have them checked by an Appraiser to check it for authenticity. From there you can then you can make the choice to bring it to a Jewelry Store or a Pawn Shop.
Fragrances such as Perfumes and Colognes used-Sell if barely used and Toss if almost gone
Time to liquidate those Fragrances that are crowding your cabinet. If you havent used barely any of the perfume and it just wasnt for you I suggest selling it if it did cost a lot. If you however have used it practically all then toss it out.
Clothing that doesn't fit or you will never wear again-Donate/Sell
I have definitely been there, I have this dress or a nice top that I just sit and stare at wondering if it should go or just stay and never be worn. Believe me because I know it can be difficult, if its outdated, too small, stained or just not being worn get rid of it. You will thank yourself when your not having to do 4 loads of laundry!
