Keeping interiors free of clutter is a New Year’s resolution that many homeowners make. Before 2020 arrives, visit a recycling center or rent a dumpster so that you can quickly toss unnecessary items and have more time to devote to other resolutions. Here are a few suggestions if you aren’t sure what to get rid of.

3 Items to Purge Before the New Year

1. Clothes

The end of the year is the perfect time to purge your closet of rarely-worn and damaged apparel. This will create more space so that you can hang the new pieces you got as gifts during the holidays. Donate the clothing to charity or take the apparel to a recycling center that accepts textiles.

2. Toys

recyclingIf your kids likely receive toys for the holidays, pare down their collection to a manageable size. This will help keep play areas clutter-free and organized in the new year. Donate old or unused toys to charity so that less-fortunate families will have presents for the holidays.

3. Toiletries

Once-used hair products and long-forgotten toiletries may be collecting dust on bathroom shelves and inside drawers. Look for expiration labels on the packaging, and toss anything old. Open bottles of shampoo and conditioner expire after two to three years, and unopened products lose effectiveness after three or four.

Pour out the expired liquids and place the bottles in the recycling bin for pickup. Getting rid of old products will make room for new elixirs, which will breathe life into your look for the upcoming year.
