Do you have junk? I know I do. Last year I wrote about the twenty somethings who leave stuff in their parents basements.
For those of us who have lived in the same home for many years it isn't hard to end up with too much stuff. I run into this situation when I meet with people who would like to sell their homes. There are a couple of services that I have found helpful. One is a way to have old computers and monitors recycled by bringing them to Best Buy. They accept all kinds of electronic items and for some there is a charge but they also give you a gift card in exchange.
The other service which is simply amazing is 1-800-Got-Junk They are full service and charge by the size of the load. They will come into your home and you can just tell them what you want removed and they will get it and load it into the truck. They charge extra for items like computers and old TVs. For people who can not move furniture or heavy items this is the way to go.
There are organizations that will take donations too. There is a thrift store in my neighborhood that will take items that can be used again like furniture and cloths and there are bins in the parking lot at the local grocery store for gently used clothing and linens. There is also the local Goodwill drop off center.
