So glad you mentioned about the cost of getting rid of things (a result of hyper-consumerism), and so to carefully think in the future. Decluttering has become so popular now, but it is so important not to rely on ‘rules’ such as one-in-one-out, and instead buy things that you love and will last years, if not a lifetime!
Melissa, this is an extremely helpful video. Thanks! When it comes to towels and blankets you no longer need, I've found that animal clinics often like to take them.
Great suggestion, there's so much animals "in transit" (rescue) needs. Many times clinics are fascilitating this and need help with care items and even buying food. It's not just dogs and cats, from very small to very large animals... thanks for remembering our animal friends :)
I held onto every piece of clothing my kids wore! I sold a few on Facebook but if they didn’t sell, back in the bin they went. UNTIL...... i started travelling to Haiti on church mission trips. It felt so good to bring almost new (and some new) items to the orphanage. My first trip i brought 32, yes 32, suitcases of tightly rolled clothes. I alreadt have 9 hockey bags full for my January trip!
@clean my space In Australia our pet shelters are called RSPCA. I take my old jumpers, blankets, pillows, (that are not quite suitable for human donation) for all our fur babies to enjoy. Xx
Thank you for these decluttering videos I moved lot due to housing issues I finally got stable house n going though all storage stuff its been amazing n I watch these vids to keep me motivated ❤❤
I love curb alerts! Put your free stuff on the curb, take a picture and post it to local websites/groups with a description. No interaction with anyone, (a win for me) and people will come get it.
Whenever I know I should be cleaning but I’m actually just sitting on my phone procrastinating, I just need to watch one of your videos and I get off my butt and just do it 💕 your magical!
Thanks for sharing! Just a suggestion... a great way to declutter & have it be a teachable moment...is get the kids in on the action. Tell the kids to clean out a certain room, area, or closet. They must try to decide what goes in donation bags/ boxes. Parents must supervise the process so the kids don’t donate something you want to keep. Then after the donation bags/boxes are filled tell them they should sell those items. When all/ most of the items are sold they can split the money 50/50. 50% they get to keep and 50% goes to a charity of their choice. It’s not about how much money they made but learning about hard work, decluttering, responsible consumerism, managing money, being charitable, etc.🙂
We've been decluttering slowly for a couple months now. Several items (like a vanity, a treadmill, and a few other things we didn't want to cart off to the salvation army) we've just taken to the curb, put a FREE sign on them, and they get taken away. Others, I've put into boxes and taken to the salvation army donation center. LOTS of clothes and really decent shoes were taken to a family who knew people who'd lost everything in a fire. People always know people who need something, so that's always my first option.
I recycle the clothing that's worn out and take everything else to a kids consignment shop or goodwill. Other things I'll hand down to friends or try to sell on offer up. I got a huge kick out of the collectibles conversation bc my husband is also a collector. My goal is to get him display cabinets once we have the space so he can fully enjoy them and I won't have to worry about as much dust!
I de-clutter by exporting various items (i.e. clothing, kitchen goods, etc.) to Ghana, West Africa to adults & children in the villages (the equivalent of our countryside or rural areas here in the states) over there who have need. I also use Let Go & FB Groups as often as possible, but oftentimes people can be unnecessarily fickle about buying, even when you always give away excellent quality stuff. I also "keep an eye out" for local news headlines for ways to be a blessing to people in need after they've experienced some sort of setback or otherwise challenging circumstance (i.e. a hurricane, etc.).
Once Upon a Child, like you mentioned, is AMAZING. I love selling and buying there. At my location they sell baby onesies for a $1 a piece and sometimes have sales where they’re 50 cents a piece. I LOVE IT. My absolute favorite store, even more than target 😂
We have Freecycle where you can post things and people come and pick it up (or you can arrange to meet to give it to them if you don't want strangers coming to your home). It's also a great way to get exercise equipment and musical instruments.
When you started talking about Chad and his adult toys, like the "Terminator" I was so confused and surprised that I had to go back and listened carefully 😄
A lot of my stuff does go to charity shops. Mostly clothes but also furniture which I have managed to get a pick up for. Also passed on things to other people who are pleased to recieve what I no longer need. I try as much as possible to not bin things unless I really have to. Great video!
I bought this info years ago for $100.......& the way it was presented made me more of a procrastinator about decluttering than ever.😡 You have given us the same knowledge right here, as always, for free & totally understandable. Thank you, Melissa.😊
Goodwill, despite what most people think, does communities a lot of good with their profits. I work with people who are intellectually disabled and my local Goodwill association uses a large portion of their profits to fund day habilitation/respite programs to support caregivers and they also help people with physical and intellectual disabilities find employment (outside of Goodwill stores) by advocating for them and helping them to best market their skills to potential employers. So, don't feel like donating to Goodwill is just funding a corporation and doesn't benefit anybody. That is so far from being true.
Alyssa McGray well, my local Good Will chapter that I supported for decades decided to be greedy and corrupt. They literally padlocked all stores in the middle of the night and left the employees with nothing.
Sharon La Tour yes; a lot of items were overpriced in recent years. The dollar store was selling the item for cheaper! However, I did find great bargains every now and then.
I know when I save things to sell, that I never will. I’ll never find the time or I’ll forget to ship it promptly. It is a savvy tip to make back money, but if you’ll never do it just donate it now. I still have to remind myself this constantly.
This video is helpful! Thank you! I live in a small apartment with my 2 kids and a baby so it gets cluttered really fast. We're a family of 5 so I'm always decluttering.
i have a pile for donation, a list for selling, and a LOT of bags of paper (i do collage) plus bundles of cardboard to take to the recycling bin. It feels overwhelming in the middle but it's soon going to feel SO good. I just got three boxes of art supplies today so there's more to tear down and feed to the recycling bin tomorrow.
You can also donate to your local highschool sports team Here in Southern Oregon to be on the highschool cheer team each person has to raise $1200.00 for there uniforms, bows, shoes, ect... If you don't have the money they do a ton of fundraisers to help with the cost so if you don't have money your not excluded. One of the ways they make money is a yard sale. The cheer girls go around and ask there friends and family for items they would like to donate and with the profits from the sale goes towards there balance. In the states if you donate to a school or charity and you get a receipt you can use this for a tax deduction.
I don’t have any high end stuff. I have a Hospice thrift store within a few miles of my house where they say “We will take anything. If we can’t sell it, we’ll give it away. If we can’t give it away we will recycle it or trash it as a last resort”. Consequently anything not suitable for gifting to family or friends goes there.
Melissa great video! Sometimes I will place stuff on the Facebook groups. When it comes to clothing I normally donate it. If it's clothing that's worn out, I just toss it. Sometimes I will put stuff on eBay.
If clothing is worn out, I will often make rags with it before tossing it. One last final use for that cotton shirt that is falling apart at the seams. Perfect for the garage or bathroom fixtures. My grandma would make rags out of old (CLEAN!) underwear to shine silver since the soft cloth wouldn't scratch....
I love Facebook marketplace for selling stuff quickly. I donate if it doesn't sell after a week. Animal shelters get my towels, linen and pillowcases. There's usually someone who will take items off your hands so it doesn't go to landfill.
I usually keep a box where I put things I no longer need/want, and when it's full, I drop it off at the Salvation Army Thrift store. Doing this on an ongoing basis, by daily watching out for what I no longer need, keeps decluttering from being overwhelming.
If you don't want to handle the sale yourself, there is ThredUp. They pay shipping and will pay you some according to what you sent, and will responsibly dispose of the rest.
I donate a lot of valuable items to charities like Goodwill. I try to sell some things first but this often proves impossible due to unexplained reasons people won’t buy a barely used item like a leather recliner. Goodwill is also a little finicky about taking some perfectly good items because they don’t sell fast. Reselling some things is hard because, once they are out of their original box or package, people don’t recognize what they are or what they are for. ...I won’t buy used clothes myself. ...Sadly, many people discard perfectly good things because they are well-to-do and can’t be bothered with the time it takes to donate or resell. 🤠
I've donated quite a number of kitchen and clothing items to a woman who contributes to a charity through her church that helps troubled teens. I seem to still have a never-ending supply for her. For larger items, or things I'm not able to give for the teens (knives, sharp objects), I plan on donating to larger charities with trucks for pick-up.
You always have the most informative and well done videos! I will very kindly say that the background music was a little loud and distracting, just my observation. Thanks for all you do for us! My 4 year old granddaughter loves to watch Clean My Space!
If the item has a reasonable amount of life left in it I use the local B&S or trade groups. A few months ago I traded a suitcase for homemade jam and dill pickles. If it doesn't sell, I try the consignment shops or donate.
Currently, we are packing to move to another house. We are donating lots to Goodwill, and we are giving some things to people we know that will appreciate the items. We are also trying to sell a couple of things on Facebook Marketplace.
I tend to give my clothes to Goodwill or there's a church in my neighborhood that has a thrift store that I donate clothes too. My higher end clothes I go through Thredup and they're really excellent My family has a lot of bulky items that we need to get rid of too (old furniture, etc) that we're planning on scheduling a pickup for so we can get them out of our house.
Hi Melissa, great video. :) I live near Victoria, BC, and these are my fave donation centres: WIN House Women In Need shelters and shop. Cat's Cradle donation shop in Sidney, BC. Big Brothers and Big Sisters Canada, who will come and pick up at your door. Otherwise, Value Village has the best donation policies compared to Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul, etc. Am trying to minimse my intake of items overall, and anything I think I just have to have, I make sure it's something that seems easy for my donation centres to deal with.
what we cant sell at yardsales, we donate the rest to The Hope Chest. If anything is past its 'life' and no good anymore, we take items like that to the landfill, if it cant be turned into something useful. Not very often I go to the landfill. I like to make small footprints.

i use thredup bags for my unwanted clothes! even if i don't get a lot of money for the items, i know someone will either buy the item or it will be responsibly disposed of- i'd rather someone else have the opportunity to love the item- and a place like thredup helps more people find the item (as opposed to a local thrift)
You should get Tamara Rubin to help you to declutter. She would use her fancy handheld machine to test those yellow-glazed pineapple things and whatnot in your kitchen, and tell you to throw away the items high in lead, cadmium, antimony, arsenic, mercury, and maybe nickel, though she says she doesn't care so much about nickel.
I try to sell things on Facebook My husband is a little bit of a hoarder, so the things I'm unable to sell, I have gotten rid of secretly and it goes unnoticed and not missed! 😆🤫
I use Facebook buy and sells and Kijiji to sell things. I take sporting goods to Play It Again sports, and I donate to Value Village. I would love to have a garage sale but I live in a condo. I also use Diabetes Canada for pickup donations, they will pick up at buildings.
Anyone know how I can get rid of old books without throwing them out? I'm finding it hard to do so because places like libraries and bookstores have restrictions now due to everything being online thus less people visiting ot borrowing books.
You could always try donating them to charities or homeless shelters (possibly even jails/prisons depending on their rules). People need something to do in their downtime after all. Something I did was to take a box of books and place it outside on the front lawn near the road with a sign for people to take what they wanted. The remnants would go to my local shelters.
We have numerous “Little Libraries “ in our community. We take our used books to our municipal building for distribution by one of the local Girl Scout troops.
Prison only take new books shiped in from companies. Nursing Homes. Some homless/shelters. Libraries do usually for their book sales. 2nd and charles book stores.
The beginning of the video was blurred and there was a delay in Melissa s voice throughout the entire video, if you read her lips you can see it doesn’t match the actual words...:(
ALL WE NEED IS JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD. 😘 2 Timothy 2:15 KJVS Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Sherry 7 Hey, Sherry, any adult who liked a video that connects Greta Thunberg to Hitler and Nazi propaganda needs more than Jesus Christ to save him. Lol. Keep trying!
@@jodyfro1312 You totally misunderstood the "like". But that's okay. I forgive you because I need to be forgiven. There is nothing more than Jesus Christ. Ever. Eternal life!
@@sh3rry0424 This isn't a religion page. Maybe you could exercise Christian humility and allow people to have a page where others don't intrude with their religion. Maybe start your own channel and get your own followers to reach out to.
I’m in the US. Consider your tax bracket. In my case I do much better donating to a charity and getting a receipt. I need as much of a write off as possible.
Not likely with the new tax laws. The standard deduction is so high and there's a cap on how much you can deduct for property and state taxes if you itemize. Most people are better off taking the standard deduction, so no write-off for items you donate to charity.
So glad you mentioned about the cost of getting rid of things (a result of hyper-consumerism), and so to carefully think in the future.

Something I did was to take a box of books and place it outside on the front lawn near the road with a sign for people to take what they wanted. The remnants would go to my local shelters.
It's old paper. You can shred it
We have numerous “Little Libraries “ in our community. We take our used books to our municipal building for distribution by one of the local Girl Scout troops.
Prison only take new books shiped in from companies. Nursing Homes. Some homless/shelters. Libraries do usually for their book sales. 2nd and charles book stores.
I put my stuff on eBay or Offer up.
Medam any job vecancy in u r cleaning company
Hi there
Good for Chad to move forward. I never understand grown adults with garages full of toys meant for a child boy to actually play with and have fun.
“Adult toys” eh??? Hmm
Poor choice of words?
🤣
@@checkyourlevels Probably an intentional choice of words (more comments).
Action Figures!!! Go figure
The beginning of the video was blurred and there was a delay in Melissa s voice throughout the entire video, if you read her lips you can see it doesn’t match the actual words...:(
Mostly donate to Salvation Army
No joke we had a garage sale and NOTHING sold we had a few people check out stuff but no one bought anything lol
I prefer to stuff to my local thrift store, but if I have to just get rid of stuff quick Goodwill and salvation army are good backups.
Donate
I wish charitable organizations would come to my house. I’d do like a mass cleaning and have it on the yard. Sadly tho it’s a small town

I donate to Salvation Army
Baby clothes take to thrift shops.

Sherry 7 Hey, Sherry, any adult who liked a video that connects Greta Thunberg to Hitler and Nazi propaganda needs more than Jesus Christ to save him. Lol. Keep trying!
@@jodyfro1312 You totally misunderstood the "like". But that's okay. I forgive you because I need to be forgiven. There is nothing more than Jesus Christ. Ever. Eternal life!
@@sh3rry0424 This isn't a religion page. Maybe you could exercise Christian humility and allow people to have a page where others don't intrude with their religion. Maybe start your own channel and get your own followers to reach out to.

The best thing about your video was the use of the word, "responsibly". If people didn buy so much excrement, we wouldn't be in this global conundrum.
I know your same face looking girl
Why does she sound like she's drunk
I think she has invisible braces.....that's my guess!
I’m in the US. Consider your tax bracket. In my case I do much better donating to a charity and getting a receipt. I need as much of a write off as possible.
Not likely with the new tax laws. The standard deduction is so high and there's a cap on how much you can deduct for property and state taxes if you itemize. Most people are better off taking the standard deduction, so no write-off for items you donate to charity.
