I am recycling, trashing, and selling a lot of stuff. And considering setting up a table in the front yard for "you want it, take it, its free". I have saved "possibly useful", "didn't know what to do with", and old electronics for too long.
Some of the stuff will go on Craigs's List. I don't need the few dollars, but sometimes someone wants a cheap "something" and it beats paying to haul it to the landfill to get rid of it. I'll nearly give those away just to save me some effort.
I have too much old computer junk. Who needs an old joystick? And I have a 15 year old windows computer in the closet. I'll remove the hard drive of course. Same with an old desktop Mac and 2 previous Mac Minis.
If someone wants four 8'x3" cardboard shipping tubes, they are welcome to them.
And there are stupid things of no value but were gifts I didn't dare through away. The gifters are all deceased now. I can give them away.
A front yard "free" table should take care of most things. Craig's list should take care of most moderately valuable items. Recycling (or trash) will take of the rest.
And I have clothes that don't fit but are in good condition (and I just washed them). I hope Goodwill will accept them. Got a half a closet back doing that.
I'm not a hoarder, but sometimes stuff accumulates. I'm taking care of that.
