After all the presents are opened and it's time to take down the holiday tree, consider de-cluttering for the new year. Here are 5 tips for de-cluttering after the holidays:
- Pack up extra holiday decor that you'd rather not see again and donate it to Goodwill. The non-profit organization will re-sell it next year to needy families and proceeds benefit their job-training programs.
- De-clutter your linen closets and donate old sheets and towels to the local animal shelter which will use them to keep pets clean and warm over the winter.
- Take an inventory of your wardrobe. If you haven't worn an item in over a year, sell it on consignment or pass it onto those less fortunate.
- Make extra room in the garage by donating your vehicle to one of the area's top non-profits and add custom garage cabinets from Tailored Living to tidy up the space.
- Consider hiring a professional organizer. The professionals at Lets Move LLC can help you organize, purge, pack, donate and re-sell valuables. They can even help you obtain a total "home inventory" of your household goods for insurance purposes.
