I know some appliances have metals, that can be recycled for $$.
Clothes you can use as dusting rugs or pads.
Broken furniture: wood parts can be used in bbq or fireplace.


Does anyone have more ideas?

Please be careful, I don't have a link, but I am certain I've read plenty of articles that modern woods processed for either use in the construction area or for making into furniture are NOT SAFE to burn in your fireplace, as they not only are laden with formeldahyde but also have large levels of flame-retardant chemicals -- you do NOT want those kind of particulates circulating in your home from burning in the fireplace, neither would you want to ever eat food cooked with such woods.

I don't know if anyone has posted this (I am behind reading) but my doctor takes stuffed animals to give to sick kids instead of candy. They can pick from the pile and hold onto the animal during the visit. I love it. Unfortunately, getting my DD from parting with said stuffed animals is an ongoing and ssssllllooooowwwww process!

Things that are well organized do not appear to be clutter (even if it is). If I have too much of something and am afraid to throw it out as it could be useful, I realize it could also be useful to someone else and dispose of it to them. Anything glass, plastic, aluminum or tin can go into the recycle bin to be recycled for the use of others. The Goodwill or Salvation Army can recycle a lot, friends may be in need of some things I need to dispose of, there is always Freecycle and the trash can.

Right now I am addicted to IKEA. I want to make sure that there is a dresser in every single corner of every single room. That way I would not have to throw away anything.

One can only dream.
