My newest book, Decluttering at the Speed of Life is now available wherever books are sold!
Want to see the principles in action? Check out my video course: The 5 Day Clutter Shakedown.
I’m talking with someone from Goodwill Dallas today about what happens to your donations after they leave your house (in a donate-able Donate Box, of course!) and what can and can’t be donated.
These are specific to Goodwill Dallas, and various areas are independent of one another, but it’s a good conversation about what you shouldn’t bother donating and what you CAN donate that you might have thought you couldn’t. Basically, we’re curing Decluttering Paralysis with information.
The article I saw that inspired this conversation.
One thing not mentioned – most places don’t take cribs or carseats. They don’t want to deal with possible recalls.
The first 5 minutes is devoted to the book, etc. Valuable and especially if you don’t have the book yet.
The interview begins around 5:45.
Love hearing how the umbrella of Goodwill is determined. Also checking with your local Goodwill website and other thrift stores is a good idea to know what they will accept.
Still listening to the podcast as I write this, but Staples also accepts old electronics, etc. Call them for what they accept for recycling.
