Release five unused possessions
Whenyour storage no longer closes easily
Choose up to five things you own and no longer use. Put keepers straight where you would look for them; route unwanted usable items to an accepted donation or recipient, and waste to the right local service.
Start tiny
Choose one obvious unwanted item.
When it slips
If a choice stalls, leave that item and choose an easier one. Stop before making a bigger mess.
SafetyDo not discard others’ belongings, essential documents or hazardous waste. Check local acceptance before drop-off.
