If you

entire house, you will quickly discover that you have a lot of stuff
that you have no need for. So what are you going to do with all of
it? While you could throw it all away, there are ways to make good
use out of your old stuff, or even make some money.

this five-step process to make the most out of your old junk:
this five-step process to make the most out of your old junk:
-
Repurpose It. You
can get creative with some of your old stuff and find new uses for
it. Doing a Pinterest search for “repurposed junk” will yield
thousands of results and could spark some great ideas for your next
DIY project. -
Sell It. Instead
of throwing your stuff away, why not make some extra money by
selling it? You would be surprised at what kind of stuff people will
buy at tag sales and through online services such as CraigsList and
eBay. -
Donate It. If
you can’t find another use for your junk and nobody wants to buy it,
try giving it to a local charity. They aren’t going to take the tire
to your old bike, but clothes, toys, electronics, and furniture that
are in good condition can be donated to people in need. -
Recycle It. There
is inevitably going to be items you come across that can’t be
repurposed, sold, or donated. Look at everything that is left over
and determine what can be taken to a nearby recycling center. Old
scrap metal, rubber, and even some appliances can be given a new
life instead of taking up space at the local dump. -
Trash It. Throwing
something away should only be done as a last resort after you have
exhausted all of your other options. Just make sure you adhere to
your local dump’s regulations about what can and can’t be taken
there – some of them are stricter than you imagine.
