If there are things at home that can be called junk, then they already have a place in the landfill.
There is no need to take an example from relatives of the older generation, who are used to not throwing away old things. They put it in the attic or in the storeroom, because they will need it someday.
Gazeta.ua offers options for what to do with old things, if you don't want to throw them to the landfill.
Take it to thrift stores
Unworn, clean clothes and household items can be sold through thrift stores for a nominal price. There are flea markets in the markets. But if you are a busy person, you are unlikely to stand at the market for days to sell your old things.
Sell through classifieds sites
Display products with a photo and a good description. Don't set a high price. All the more so, in the current wartime. It is good if potential buyers come to collect things.
Give it away for free
There are many charitable organizations that sort things and distribute them to the needy. Especially now, during the war, people who have lost all their property need them the most. And very often they need not only clothes and shoes, but also household items.
Items can be posted on social media or in special groups where many people also list their items. Selling or donating.
How to understand that it is time to clean the house from junk
Make an audit in cosmetics, first aid kit, household chemicals.
In the closet, divide things into categories: which are worn often, which need repair, and which have not been worn for a long time. As a result, get rid of those things that have not been worn for a long time. The same applies to clothes and bags.
Sort through all sorts of little things in the drawers, too. A third will definitely turn out to be unnecessary.
