I use spring cleaning not only as a time to get rid of the piles of stuff that have accumulated over the year. I also use it as a time of charity. Even if I sell items, I give the proceeds to charity. My feeling is that since I have so much stuff to get rid of rather than take cash for items sold why not donate it. Spring and summer is a time when many charities such as food banks are forgotten and really need help replenishing their shelves. Just something to think about... It is certainly that time of year again.

You don't know how many things that in the past I had resorted to throwing away, that now I can Freecycle. You name it, someone probably wants it. LOL. I hate adding to the landfills and have been very pleased that my junk has become other people's treasures, many people very thankful for things that charity would not take. Broken dryer, stones for the garden, used pet cages, old rusted BBQ grill, used gift cards for art projects, etc. I have also freecycled a lot of nice stuff out of convenience. Usually can get someone to come pick up something within a day. So when I am in a big spring cleaning mode and just want to be rid of something - Freecycle it is. Will be gone in hours...
