Recycling Junk
Eco-organizing™ Redefines Recycling Junk
Being labeled as an Eco-organizer™ gives professional organizing new meaning and direction for me. When I see all the stuff people hang onto that they don't need, it's enough to fill many landfills.
People don't need everything they have and if they went through all their stuff lying around, hiding in cabinets and drawers, and lurking in garages and other places, they just might consider recycling those things to people who may need them.
It's the season for yard and garage sales. Selling stuff you no longer need also helps recycle items to new homes.
There's also Ebay where you can auction your items for sale. But, if it's too much trouble to try and sell your stuff, you can always donate them. Ideally, donate to a charity that will preferrably use the items rather than resale them. Toys for Tots is an example of recycling toys.
The other side to recycling is to buy recycled merchandise, instead of new (if you must buy!).
Flea markets are abundant with recycled goods, and many furniture pieces can be refinished and look like new. Saves costs, saves trees and other natural resources.
I'm going to be writing more about this. Eco-friendly products is what "green home" living is all about. Search the internet for that term and you'll see how you can contribute to preserving our natural resources.
