Good Tips
Tip #1 Don’t ditch your cell phone in the ditch.
In the state of California it is illegal to dispose of electronics in the trash. The hazardous chemicals and compounds found in cell phones, computers or stereo equipment include mercury, arsenic and lead, which, if not properly contained, can seep into the ground or be released into the air or water supply, posing potentially serious health threats. Fortunately, GSC recycles e-waste for free. Help keep our planet from turning into an e-wasteland by donating anything with batteries or a plug to a Goodwill retail store or attended donation center near you.
Tip #2 Clear out the toy closet before birthdays and holidays.
Help your kids experience the “feel good” effect of giving by having them donate some of their toys before a birthday, Hanukah or Christmas. Knowing that a whole new batch of goodies will be arriving soon, makes it a little easier for them to let go of things they may have outgrown.
Tip #3 Purge before you splurge.
We know that sometimes it’s hard to let go. But isn’t it a little easier when you know that what you give away will greatly benefit others? When you donate gently used household items, electronics, books and clothing to Goodwill Southern California, you’ll create a more open, inviting and productive space for yourself and your family, and help members of your community at the same time. Goodwill Southern California is also a great place to find organizational tools such as bins and baskets to keep your home clutter free all year. So try the one in, one out rule. For every item you purchase and bring in to your home, find something that you no longer love or need and donate it.
Tip #4 Don’t bite off more than you can chew.
When you are looking to de-clutter your home, pick one area or type of item at a time, otherwise the task can be overwhelming and stressful. For example, each month, plan to go through one closet or one dresser, top to bottom. Or, you may decide to go through all of the shoes in the house, or all of the electronics. It is much easier to stay on task when the goal is specific.
