New Home for My Stuff
New Home for My Stuff
Missing a spring clean -- get rid of stuff effort. Goodwill donation centers are closed. No one is doing yard sales (or for Easterners, "tag sales"). Don't want to sell stuff on Nextdoor/Craigslist and have to interact with strangers. My neighbor left a couple of okay outdoor chairs on the curb with a "free" sign and they were gone a day later. Might work for a few things. Got at least 4-5 car loads of items too nice to just toss but no longer wanted around here. Anyone else have a back up of things to deal with?

I’m trying to do a clean up and out soon. Big Brother/Big Sister was picking up last month, some local shelters and halfway houses were interested in books, the Red Cross is still taking clothing, and I was considering a dumpster bag for the rest!
But we are in pretty good shape here in Mass, since we have reasonable rules people generally following them, so ymmv.

Re: New Home for My Stuff
It's probably a regional or local thing, but our local Goodwill donation center reopened about a month ago and I dropped off a bunch of stuff soon thereafter. Maybe check around and see if there are any nearby Goodwill places open, or check to see if there are any plans to reopen soon?
I recently emptied out a storage container (and put most of the contents in the garage), so I'm planning to spend the next few weeks (months?) going through stuff and organizing/discarding things. Hopefully there will be space for at least one of our cars in the garage before next winter.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

I'm going bargain hunting now our charity shops are opening. I want more junk*, not less!

Re: New Home for My Stuff
If you don't want to leave the car out in the weather during the winter, you could always get rid of it.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
