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.
