Start the Year Off Fresh – Declutter & Donate!
Start the year off fresh by decluttering your home. Complete one room or closet at a time, it will give you a great feeling of accomplishment, encourage you to take on the next room and help put your mind at ease! In each room, start with one closet, then one bureau, one desk at a time, etc. Make a bag or box for 1. items to keep 2. items to give away or sell and 3. items to throw out. Set a timeline for your goals, whether one task a day, one week or one month to help you get started!
Once you have finished decluttering one room or one closet, now the question is: What do you do with all this stuff? Here is a list of some of the local organizations in Ottawa where you can donate your gently used items.
