Weekend uncluttering

What uncluttering have you achieved this weekend?

Prompted by something, I went and investigated the Buy Nothing project again, and discovered that there is now a group in my area. So I joined it, offered something that has been sitting in the front hall for *weeks*, and it should be collected tomorrow! I'm now eyeing off several other things that I haven't been able to find a home for, and wondering what luck I might have with those. But just on weekends, I'm thinking, just because I know I got a bit overwhelmed when I was in the local freecycle group, trying to keep track of when people were coming, and what I'd offered.
semielliptical: old books (books)

I identified about a dozen books to give away, they're bagged up and ready to go the library book sale. I also went through some folders and recycled a big stack of papers.

I had never heard of the Buy Nothing Project, and looked it up based on your mention. It looks like an interesting way to re-home items, though it seems to require more energy than just dropping things off at a collection point.
