To Waste or Not to Waste?
Part of what I do with my organizing is addressing the question, "Well, now what do we do with the stuff we don't want?" Fortunately, most unwanted belongings can find new homes, be they electronics, appliances, toys, books, you name it!
In each geographical region, the client and I figure out where most all of the unwanted items can be dropped off: thrift shop, homeless shelter, county recycling and hazardous waste site and so forth.
It's my belief that very little, if any, unwanted item be somehow "recycled, reused or repurposed." The landfill is the LAST place I contemplate when faced with the "what to do with this item" question.
A recent development: I'm now a member of the NAPO Special Interest Group: Environmentally-Conscious Organizers! I'm excited about this, as I'm very big on helping people organize in a way that minimizes trashing the planet!
