Thanks for the suggestion. Great idea to call a certain amount your local nonprofits to see if they do pick ups. While wedding gowns, DVDs, sporting equipment, musical instruments, eyeglasses, cell phones, computers, appliances, furniture, video games, cars and more, if you feel similar way, there is a list of where to donate clothes, furniture, toys, prom dresses. Only one thing I would add is to donate the women’s clothing to a local nonprofit similar to Dress for Success but with a broader mission and Philly centric reach 🙂 Paige. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. Great post! With that said, I’ll add career wardrobe in the next few days.
I have a similar one but definitely need to check a few of these.
Donate your stuff.
Consider giving stuff to someone who needs it now, instead of saving things in the event you need them in 10 years. Thanks for compiling and publishing this list. Notice, I joined freecycle and am planning on donating video games and DVD’s as well. We get contacted nearly any couple of months by Easter Seals as well as a couple of ‘Texasbased’ charities letting us know when they’re preparing to have a truck in our area and asking if we have anything to donate. Anyways, the convenience and decluttering positive parts of going the Kindle route for me outweigh the nostalgia of the physical book. That said, I’m in the middle of doing a major clean out and dislike to throw anything away. Thanks for all this good information. Consequently, so it is hugely helpful! We always encourage our clients to donate and recycle as much as possible, as a professional organizing service. Thanks for compiling this kind of an extensive list, Brad! I am glad to have other places to donate to!!
They don’t accept everything, and they tend to overflow with things like stuffed animals, I generally take my items to our local Salvation Army store. Thank you a lot for compiling and posting this list. We build and improve reading libraries in schools, shelters and many other organizations! You can also ship children’s books to us. Our website is Thanks! Now look. In the Washington, DC area you can donate books to Books for America. That’s where it starts getting really interesting. For some reason, it’s next to impossible to part with books. Anyways, although I do sometimes miss giving my hard copy books away to someone I know would love to read them, the Kindle has helped me cut down on my number of books. I agree about the books. Of course you definitely should donate our stuff to people who need it now, instead of saving it in the event we need it in 10 years.
