One man's trash is another man's treasure

So you embarked on the big organizing project and have sorted out a pile of things you no longer need. Now the question is what to do with all that stuff?

There are lot of options these days, as more and more companies and individuals are thinking innovatively of ways to use, reuse things and materials that we no longer want and need.

For those of you looking to make a few bucks from your old stuff, there are couple of options. If you live in a house, you can always organize a garage sale in spring or fall and take out just about anything and everything that you can think of, and put up for sale. If this is not an option, there are some sites that can be used for this purpose, to sell your unwanted items; few that come to mind: Craig's List, Kijiji, eBay etc.

Next option are various charitable organizations. It has become a trend amongst the charitable organizations to collect specific items, like furniture or clothes so this is something worth checking out. If you have a favourite charity, research to see if there is anything they collect or need that you can donate. If you are not particular which charity you can support, search for the specific items that you are donating and find one that is looking for those items and is doing something interesting with them. I remember one year I had this large collection of pencils and erasers, so I looked specifically for who would need that, maybe some local school or charity that supports schools etc. A little time spending researching these options certainly proves to be worthwhile.

Also, there are lot of drop off centers and boxes for variety of things where you can just deposit your stuff. It could be a local store that collects your old electronics or a deposit box for old clothes and kitchen items.
