REduce Your Trash

The less you bring into your home the less opportunity of collecting clutter. When you’re out shopping ask yourself 3 QUESTIONS: do you LOVE it, do you NEED it, and will you USE it… before purchasing.
Also, consider how the item is packaged… can you recycle the majority of it?
Don’t take plastic bags from every store you shop at. Bring your own!

REduce and then REthink Storage Options

Before you start purchasing organizing containers you need to REDUCE and possibly even REUSE your items. Once you reduce, take a quick inventory of the empty containers you already have before you run off to the store to buy new ones.

SAVE some GREEN. Use household items for storage… shoeboxes, wooden crates, berry baskets, and empty jars can store anything from memorabilia to old paperwork to office supplies to doggie treats.

Keep, Donate, Toss and RECYCLE

When you are conquering the clutter separate your items into keep, donate, toss and recycle. Your goal is to reduce your toss pile by increasing your donate and recycle piles. It is amazing that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Tap into your local resources to see what items can be reused or recycled. EARTH911.org is a great search engine to find your local recycling resource.
