It’s a no-brainer! Don’t feel bad about throwing this stuff out…

A recent Washington Post article, 21 things you can declutter with zero emotional energy includes the following:

1. Expired food
2. Branded freebies and promotional items — give away on Buy Nothing or throw out in the trash
3. Takeout detritus (plastic utensils, takeout containers, sauce and spice packets, and paper menus) — give away on Buy Nothing or throw out in the trash
4. Food storage containers
5. Reusable bags #&151; donate these to food pantries
6. Plastic dry cleaning bags and unused wire hangers — toss ’em!
7. Clothing that is torn, stained or stretched
8. Promotional swag
9. Orphaned socks
10. Paper bags
11. Receipts and product manuals
12. Magazines or books you’ll never reread
13. Calendars and newspapers
14. Junk mail
15. Expired or barely used beauty and personal care products
16. Hotel toiletries
17. Dried-up markers and pens
18. DVDs and board games you don’t use
19. Completed coloring books, puzzles with missing pieces
20. Decorative items
21. Unused hobby gear

All may have potential to giving away on Buy Nothing, but definitely feel free to throw these out in the trash!
