Do You Keep or Not Keep?

To keep or not to keep, that is the question…

Tips for Specific Items

• Clothing:
  • Keep: Clothes you wear regularly and seasonal items you use annually.
  • Throw Away: Clothes that don’t fit, are out of style, or you haven’t worn in over a year.
• Books:
  • Keep: Books you love, reference frequently, or plan to read soon.
  • Throw Away: Books you’ve read and don’t plan to read again or don’t find valuable.
• Paperwork:
  • Keep: Important documents like tax records, legal documents, and warranties.
  • Throw Away: Old bills, expired warranties, and paperwork you can digitize.
• Kitchen Items:
  • Keep: Items you use regularly or for special occasions.
  • Throw Away: Gadgets and utensils you never use or duplicates.
• Toys and Games:
  • Keep: Toys and games that are used and enjoyed.
  • Throw Away: Broken toys, games with missing pieces, or items outgrown.
• Electronics:
  • Keep: Functional electronics and accessories you use.
  • Throw Away: Outdated, broken, or unused electronics.

Donation and Recycling

Consider donating items in good condition instead of throwing them away. Many charities and organizations accept clothing, books, kitchen items, and toys. Recycling is also an option for items like electronics and paper.
