Has
your most recent spring cleaning project left you with a pile of old
junk that you need to get rid of? While throwing it all away is the
quickest and easiest solution, it isn't the best. Avoid adding
unnecessary trash to your local dump and try one of these
alternatives instead.
1. Repurpose it
Are you
sure that you have no other uses for that old trunk sitting in your
attic? Maybe it would make a good table in your living room. A quick
internet search for “repurposed junk” will yield thousands of
results and could give you a creative spark for your next DIY
project.
2. Sell it
One
man's trash is another man's treasure. Just because you don't have a
use for your old stuff doesn't mean that someone else won't. If you
have items which are still in working condition, why throw them away
when you can make some extra money from them? You will be surprised
what people are willing to buy on online sites such as eBay, or you
could take the old-fashioned route and host a yard sale.
3. Donate it
If you
can't repurpose it, and nobody wants to buy it, then it is time to
throw it away, right? Wrong. Old clothing, furniture, and electronics
can be donated to local shelters and charities. Instead of slowly
decomposing at the dump, give your stuff to someone in need.
4. Recycle it
For old
scrap metal, rubber, and even some broken appliances, the recycling
center is a much better alternative than the garbage can. Be
environmentally-conscious and give these things a new life instead of
adding to the countless amounts of waste at your local landfill.
