Everybody should know by now about different piles to create as you're decluttering and organizing. Here are the ones most used, in case anybody need a refresher:
1. THROW AWAY- This pile is for obvious trash that cannot be recycled.
2. RECYCLE- This pile is for the items that can be recycled. It may be a good idea to have a trash can for each type. Plastic, paper, metals and organic matter that may be able to be composted. Composted materials can be used for gardening.
3. DONATE- These are the items that can be donated to charity shops and local services.
4. SELL- These are the items that you would like to sell for a profit.
5. GIVE BACK- If there are any items found that belong to other people who are not living in your house, this is the pie to put them in. It may be best to give the people a call and ask them to get their items back from you. This is also the pile of items you would like to give to other people. Do you have a blanket you had wanted to give to a grandchild? This is the pile to put it in.
6. KEEP BINS- This is where you would put items that belong in certain rooms. Keep several bins in each room, so it would be easier to put items away after you finish cleaning out the room. If there are items in, for example the bedroom, that belong in the kitchen, put those items in a seperate box so they could be carried to the kitchen.
