[personal profile] nou posting in [community profile] unclutter

As previously noted, I'm doing Unclutter 2014, which involves getting rid of 1 thing per day in 2014, plus an extra thing for every thing that comes into the house. I thought I'd also keep track of where the things go (landfill, charity shop, recycling, etc). I'm planning to post once every ten (or sometimes twenty) days, giving a summary of how I'm doing.

Days 1–300: 468 out (130 landfill, 185 recycled, 83 charity shop, 27 gifts, 1 returned to owner, 8 Freegle, 1 bartered, 16 used up, 9 food waste, 8 archived), 126 in, net out: 342.

Days 301–320 totals: 60 out (1 landfill, 4 recycled, 49 charity shop, 2 gifts, 1 used up, 3 food waste), 5 in, net out: 55.

Finally got past 365 net out, thanks to a clearout of cookery books in collaboration with [personal profile] bob. Details of the past 20 days are below.

Day 301: 2 out: Halloween stickers and crocheted pumpkin given to nephew. 5 in: 4 microfibre cloths and 1 postcard.

Day 302: 3 out: 2 packets of dried fish products, ancient and not stored properly (put in the food waste), 1 packet of ancient TVP chunks (used up).

Day 303: 1 out: Plastic bowl put in the recycling.

Day 304: 6 out: Cracked mug put in landfill; 2 tops, a coathanger, and a food warmer taken to charity shop; 1 bottle very-expired squash put in plastic recycling (after pouring contents down sink).

Day 307: 2 out: 2 books containing Bad Science put in the recycling.

Day 312: 1 out: Ancient and bad-smelling jar of instant coffee decanted into the food waste.

Day 314: 25 out: 25 books taken to charity shop.

Day 318: 20 out: 20 books taken to charity shop.
