Don't be this person any more - Kate Larkin & Co. can help!

Let's talk donations.

When you're getting organized this Spring season, you'll likely want to get rid of quite a bit. Some people struggle knowing how or where to donate & get overwhelmed, especially with odd items like old cellphones, electronics, music instruments, etc. This can lead to just trashing it but there's always someone who can use most of what you can't. Below you'll find three quick tips to help you out.

1. Sort items into a bag that is a separate color than your trash bags, then immediately place into your vehicle.
2. Find a home you're willing to take your donations to that will make you feel like they can have a second life and give you a sense of happiness to let go. i.e., conservative work clothing in good condition to Dress for Success or old linens to an animal shelter, etc.
3. Recognize they served you well for a time and as Marie Kondo says "thank them for their service".

If your looking for more in-depth information on donating and where to donate specific items (cell phones, partially used gift cards, old computers, etc. HERE is a great detailed post from Brad Aronson.
