The Spruce | 6 Things Pro Organizers Always Donate After Decluttering

In the article, Juliana Meidl, founder and owner of Serenity at Home, highlights several common household items that pro organizers recommend donating to reduce clutter. She specifically points out that holiday decorations and gift wrap that you no longer use can be donated after the season ends to simplify future decorating and prevent excess storage load. Meidl also weighs in on old toys and books, advising that items in good condition but no longer used by children are worth giving away, helping free up space while benefiting others. Additionally, she suggests clothing that no longer fits or hasn’t been worn in years should be donated—encouraging people to ask themselves whether they would buy an item again today, and if not, to let it go and give it a new life with someone who needs it.
