How is your uncluttering going for the first half of the week?

I've been doing a lot of moving things around, in preparation to be able to sort through them, and 'tis quite on the exhausting side. Having said that, yesterday I moved piles of paper around, throwing out quite a bit -- filled the ~10L bin three times. Monday, I dropped off the bag of Stuff that was sitting in the front hall to an op-shop (and only bought a few things there, one of which was on the shopping list anyway, so it was convenient to get it there). Oh, and I cleaned out an 'empty' container that had been hanging around in the shower, and threw it out.

I've had reasonable luck passing those kinds of things on to people who have different sensory reactions than mine; typically face to face friends, workmates, and people I see regularly. I also feel like I've seen them left in a 'free for anyone' box in a short stay accommodation (I know that there were all sorts of things in the shared food box), so if there is a communal area (laundry?) in your apartment complex, could you put them there? And if you have workmates that you talk to, you could ask whether anyone is interested in such things, and then bring in some there?

While there are some bathroom things I wouldn't take/would recommend ditching (half used soap and deodorant), things that come in bottles seem pretty safe

Oh, and if there is a local freecycle list, check whether they permit those kinds of things. You might find that someone is willing to come pick them up.

I think there's rules about what can be left in the laundry room. To wit: nada.

Other than that, thank you!

Shame about the laundry room rule. But I can absolutely see where it would be coming from!
