Any Unused Items Laying Around Your Home? Here's Mine

I'm just happy to see that the unused item laying around your home isn't your Husband! My Wife and I have very limited possessions because we move so much with my work. So based on this, we rarely have the chance to accumulate anything! It's good that you are looking to give the swing to someone who will appreciate it rather than just toss it. As they say, one person's trash is another one's treasure!

Hello there, miracle! I was JUST talking about you in another post this morning!!! I've been worried about you! Is everything okay? Send me a PM if you want/need to talk, okay? Anyway, I just took a trip to our local Goodwill store yesterday, my SUV literally packed full of goodies for them! I've been cleaning, going through more of the boxes I got from my mother when she passed away (whew, she had stuff!!!), and I accumulated quite a large pile of stuff! It took 3 of their large bins on wheels to put all this stuff in! I also have a ton more to go through! Right now, our hallway is home to a row of boxes that I've been filling up with more stuff for the Goodwill store. I might have to do this at least 3 or 4 more times before we're finally uncluttered. One last thing after all this is the ATV my husband bought me one day when he lost his mind. I'm trying to sell that now. Not a great time of year to try to sell it, I know! Especially when we're sitting here freezing our tushes off! But, it's for sale, whenever it sells. I hope it sells soon because it's taking up space in our garage and we can't get either of our vehicles in there! Let's see... anything else? Nope, that about covers it. I've gotten rid of a LOT of stuff and there's still a lot of stuff to get rid of! Hey! Do you have any consignment-type shops near you? You know the kind that sell things for you for a commission? If not, I hope you find someone who can really use those baby items. When my kids outgrew their things, I had no trouble finding people who were willing to 'take them off my hands' for free. LOL Take care of yourself, okay? Maybe the moon is in conjunction with Pluto and out of alignment with the Andromeda Constellation or something, but my hubby and I are having our own problems here. Bad time for marriage, maybe? Take care!

Well mother LOL,(you sound like one) I spend an awful lot of time thinking about what to do with all of my excess junk. I want to have a garage sale, but that is impossible where I live. There are also a few things that I would love to give away, but have yet to find someone to give it to. I do not like to donate things to the Goodwill and such, because then they sell it. But since I am moving soon, I may be forced to donate a lot of these things. I will almost kill me to have to throw away perfectly good items.

well - being the ultimate "pack rat" i do have lots of stuff laying around that i probably bought planning to reuse or recycle or repurpose... since i am now in the process of a "pre-move" (my son got into trouble again and is likely not to need a permanent room in my house)...so in working on consolidating his things for when he needs his things for his own apartment or house, i'm also consolidating my own things, as i will finally be co-habitating with my boyfriend. since i only use my laptop at home now, i am going to re-configure my desktop for use at the office, and taking all my office supplies over there, too. i've just finished going through all of the Christmas items that i didn't use this year, and donated a lot of them to the local thrift store/food pantry. i'm also getting the decor that don't absolutely love ready to be donated or "ebayed", too. although it's been unseasonably warm, i think it is too early to try and plan a yard sale...but i may attempt one as an "indoor" option at my neighbor's suggestion.

My son has a walk-in closet and I have stored the kids' old baby crib in there. I have gotten rid of all the other baby furniture and this is the one remaining thing that I've saved. I think I'll keep it for grandkids someday.

I no longer have too many unused items laying around. I joined the local freecycle in my area. I list items I no longer need and there is usually someone who sends a reply back and comes and gets it. I also donate unused items to a couple of churches to use in their rummage sale. Our local amvets also pick up every few months. I used to be a real packrat, but then I realized I could give these things away to people that needed them instead of them sitting around collecting dust.

My George Foreman Grill, my exercise bike, my kareoke machine, my keyboard piano, my PS1 (the original Playstation), some of my DVDs, some of my CDs, my record player (it needs a new needle), and my twin bed sheets (sadly, I never change that bed, because I never sleep in that bed).

A great place to post these items, if you can't find anyone who needs it in your family or immediate circle of friends, is FreeCycle. This is a group that most cities and neighborhoods have online, to trade and get rid of things they no longer need or want. You just go on there, post what you have, and wait for someone to contact you about it. I found this site a couple years ago, and absolutely love it. Right now I don't have anything that I am not using at present, but I should go look on there to see if there is anything that I want or need....maybe its time to go through the kids clothes again to see what they can't wear lol. Anyway, just do a yahoo search on FreeCycle. Most of them keep their forums through yahoo groups, so it will be easier to do a search there.

Hi Miraclefreebies, Well yesterday and today I have been going through the house and so far have bagged up four bags of stuff for the charity shop, mainly childrens clothes that my son has grown out of and toys he no longer plays with, with his persmission of course. I am sure there is still a lot more laying around but I am going through a cupboard at a time and need to wash a set of curtains and bedding before that goes and test a couple of battery operated ones before they do too ese they will go in the bin if not working. I am sick of seeing the four bags in the corner of the room already and they are being collected on Tuesday but when I sort out I want it gone immediately usually. Larger items I will post on Freecycle, bits of furniture or garden toys. Hope the baby swing finds a deserving home. Huggles. Ellie :D

There are a lot of unused items lying around in our house. From toys to clothes. I wish I had the time to sort them out and disposed them. I will definitely schedule a time for this. I am also planning to donate some to those who will be needing it.

Oooohhhh yes, there are a lot of unused items laying on the floor. Around the house. Some are even at the store room, under the bed, chairs or at the corners of the house. Just about anywhere that has space. If only I own those things, I would give them to someone who needs them, throw them maybe or have a garage sale. But the problem is, their not mine. I have told my brothers and sister to dispose their "garbage" but everyone is lazy organizing their things. Even my dad. He always puts sentimental value on everything he buys and doesn't want to throw them though some are already destroyed and unused for years. But in my own place, I don't keep things that I don't use anymore. Every year I organize my stuffs and dispose items that has been kept for a long time. Ciao!

well there is a lot of thrash at home. i don't think any one will like to have that if i will give it away. so i may just end up throwing them than force any one i know in getting or accepting it from me. anyways, i don't have any thing that has any worth. mostly they are just some items that are just too cheap for any one to afford to buy themselves.

I need to go through my closet and get all the clothes out that me and my children no longer wear. When I get around to it I will probably donate them to the local Goodwill.

There are plenty of unused items lying in my house. They gt stowed away in some corner and never get thrown out. Well i do not resort to wild eating like you. i just let it ly there and ignore it's presence. Muy wife has a habit of putting it away in the garage where it remains out of site.

Right now, we have a brand new box of a barbie horse with interchangeable heads that my daughter does not like. We got it from Secret Santa. I don't have the receipt to return it. I know a group of my neighbors chipped in to buy us some gifts but I don't know which one purchased the Barbie Horse. I was going to see if Walmart would take it back without a reciept. I am sure they sell it there. I don't know where it was purchased. Target won't take anything back without a reciept so I can't go there. When I go back to Walmart I am going to see if they sell that in their toy section, if they do they may just take it.

I really do not have any unused items around my house. I constantly go through my things and get rid of the things we do not use or need.

i usually get rid of things i figure out i wont use anymore but i do have a desk and chair that is bugging me but its going to go to my best friend but no way of getting it there so i am ignoring it.. trying to at least

I have a lot of stuff in the attic that is no longer used. Usually every year my husband and I have a garage sale to try to get rid of some of it. I know for certain, that I want to get rid of my wedding dress. I do not plan to get married again, and for it to have been worn only once, it is in perfect condition for someone else to use. I think I will try to sell it on ebay or craigslist. Whenever I go into the attic I run across something that I am sure someone else can use. There will definitely be a garage sale this spring.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...dont ask me bout it !!! there are tooooooooooooooooooo many of unuse stuff inside my house !!! why it still there ? BECAUSE dad dont wanna get rid of itttt..eventhough none of us will gonna use it again, not now or later..thats why my house seems small, because we have less space inside..there r tooooooooooooo many unuse stuffs hiks..i wish i can clean it up, but i couldnt lol not without dad's permittion =p

I recently started working parttime 8 hours per week at a non profit thrift store. American Rescue Workers or ARW here in Canton Pa. So As I or hubby comes across an item we no longer use, need or want I wash it up and take it to work with me the next time. that way I am donating it to a good cause and someone in need of that item can purchase it inexpensively and help a great cause. So next time you are sorting check your area for thrift stores or clothing centers or even pregnancy centers in your area. Thrift stores are one of the best ways to recycle. So pass on your unwanted items. And in the mean time it will help you clean up your clutter, and you will have to dust and wash less.:0)
