You ever find yourself keeping something just in case? And before you know it, your just in case pile has taken over your garage or half your desk drawers? In case you haven’t heard; hoarding is a problem and you really don’t some… Most of the things you’re keeping. Keep on reading to see which things you can throw away, donate and possibly recycle.
Scratched CDs
If you’re the rare person that’s holding on to CDs as opposed to downloading music then good for you. However, if the CDs are scratched; there’s no need to keep holding on to them.
Old Cell Phones
You stopped using it for a reason. If you only have one you can justify it by calling it an emergency phone. However if you have an entire collection of your cell phones through the years; donate it. Sell it. Just get rid of it.
Dried-up nail polish
As great as the colour was, it’s time has come and gone. It’s just taking up unnecessary space in your cosmetics bag/box. Don’t despair; you’ll always have the chipped memories.
Hair Elastics That Aren’t Elastic
No matter how hard you pull, or how many times you wrap your hair through it, the elasticity has died so might as well get rid of it.
Menus
You probably at there once and you only took the menu to be polite. Chuck it out.
DVDs
It’s one thing to have a collection; it’s another thing to have that collection collect nothing but dust. Watch the movies one more time or just quickly give them away if you can’t be bothered with a movie night.
Random Keys
Unless you live in a house filled with safes in every room; you don’t need to be holding onto a set of keys. Throw them out; just make sure you don’t add the house keys in that pile.
Magazines
You’re not in a doctor’s office. Come to think of it, that’ll be the perfect place to donate them.
Hairbrushes
If it holds more hair than it actually brushes, it’s got to go.
Lonely Earrings
If you can’t find it’s better half, it’s time for the two of you to separate.
Clothes
You’re not going to be that size again. Let it go. Someone who is that size does need those clothes so might as well give them away. Look on the bright side; new clothes!
Pens
You just tried it and it doesn’t work so why are you putting it back in its place? Put it in the bin!
Old Towels
You look like you’re drying yourself with the world’s dirtiest mop. Either turn the towel into a rag or find it a place in the rubbish bin.
Receipts
I don’t think SARS is interested in your Chicken Licken receipt from five years ago.
Old Bras and Underwear
Uhm… Good hygiene anyone?
Expired Medication
This is not Narcos.
Old Calendars
Really? Does this even need an explanation?
