| Please share your suggestions for unconventional places to take donated items (for example, a local florist’s shop for empty flower vases). If you mention a specific business or organization, please include your city, state, province, region, and/or country in your answer. | I took my child s' and mine old athletic trophies to a trophy shop for donation. Since my trophies were so old, they were very useful because they statutes were not plastic, but sold metal with a nice shine, etc and the bases were marble. The more modern trophies for my daughter were plastic and of some use, I told them take them all and use/recycle what you can. One big box out of the house! |
| Describe an activity or interest for which you acquire far more supplies or materials than you tend to use over a reasonable period of time. | yarn, aspirational clutter. I have put an end to incoming, but I am furiously working to make charity hats and headwarmers. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | I wish I could find an auction company that I could bring my clean, usable, up-to-date "stuff' to and have them sell it for me even for a tiny profit. I have donated to Goodwill but they charge a little too much on the resale. |
| Future topics | How to do a big downsize without throwing good things away. How do I wrap my head around donating EVERYLTHING even if it is sellable. Ebay is a lot of work. I am stuck between wanting profit or just chucking good things in exchange for time saved ( from managing, dusting storing, etc) I think I want the time. But with recent political events, I am scared Social Security won't be, well, secure and should I hold onto stuff??? |
