Another thing you’ll want to ensure you have in place before you start decluttering is having a solid clutter removal plan. It’s well and good to have a pile of things to donate or toss out but if you’re not careful, you’ll wind up with an unsightly collection of goods sitting at your front door or in your trunk for weeks. This can be especially problematic if you’re decluttering larger items like fitness gear, appliances, or furniture.
If you’re decluttering smaller items, consider setting a specific date when you’ll bring your items to the donation center or waste disposal center. If you know you’re going to have to dispose of larger items, consider booking a dumpster rental or schedule a pick-up service with a local junk removal company.
