Too Much Stuff in Your House? Here’s What You Can Do

We’ve
all been there – you take a look at your basement, and what used to
be empty space is now a pile of rubbish. If you are running out of
room in your home and don’t know what to do with all of your extra
stuff, here are some things you can try.
  • Host a garage
    sale.     Why
    not turn some of your old stuff into extra cash? Garage sales are
    fun to host and you can earn a decent amount of money, all it takes
    is a few hours of your time on a Saturday afternoon. If you want to
    host a successful tag sale, check out these tips.
  • Donate to a local
    charity.     If
    you have items in good condition that you aren’t getting any use out
    of, give them to someone who will. Check online for a list of local
    charities; you are sure to find something in your area that will
    accept just about anything you can think of. Giving back to the
    community feels good, and it will help you free up some extra space
    in your home.
  • Rent a
    self-storage unit.     Maybe
    you don’t want to get rid of your stuff, but you are simply running
    out of room to keep it. If that’s the case, there are an abundance
    of self-storage facilities willing to help you out. Take a look
    around and see which one is best for you: consider their monthly
    fee, proximity to your house, access hours, and the size of the
    unit.
  • Hire professional
    junk removers.     This
    is what you should do if your stuff isn’t worth keeping, donating,
    or selling. If you’re willing to spend a little bit of money, a junk
    removal service would be happy to take care of your unwanted waste
    for you.

What NOT To Do With Your Old Junk

Do you
have a steadily-growing collection of junk that is beginning to take
over your basement or garage? It’s time to do something about it –
just make sure it’s not one of these things.
DON’T Illegally Dump It
You
might be tempted to head out in the middle of the night and abandon
your stuff on the side of the road somewhere. Maybe it will be easier
than doing things the right way, but that is called “illegal dumping”, and it can lead to a serious fine and maybe even jail
time.
DON’T Burn It
Maybe
the thought of properly disposing of everything is stressing you out
a little bit. What if you just made a big pile out of your garbage,
set it on fire, and invited your friends over for a bonfire? Don’t do
that – not only are you releasing tons of toxins into the air, you
are also breaking the law.
DON’T Keep It
Though
it is not illegal, keeping it is almost as bad of an option as the
other two. You have finally made the choice to declutter your home
and get rid of your unused junk, don’t turn back now.
So what
should you do with your stuff?
  • Sell it. Host
    a tag sale or head to online sites like eBay to get money for your
    old stuff.
  • Recycle it. Do
    you have junk that could be recycled? If so, do the green thing and
    give it a second life.
  • Donate it. If
    your stuff is still in workable condition, give it to someone in
    need. They will use it more than you will.
  • Have someone else
    take care of it.     Too much work
    for you? Let someone else do it! Hire a professional junk remover
    and relax while they do all the work.
