  Don't throw anything in the garbage. Recycle, reuse, sell and donate instead. As tempting and easy as it is to pitch musty clothes and shabby furnishings, be environmentally responsible and find a home for everything. A can of Comet with a few shakes of powder left could make someone else's sink sparkle if you don't want it; consider giving supplies to a shelter, neighbour or cleaning lady.

When selling your goods, try an auction for high-end items. Then look for reputable antique and second hand dealers. Often, they can buy all of your wares or put you in touch with booksellers and other specialty dealers. Some dealers will come to your home, take what you don't want and even drop off the charity stuff. That way you won't be trudging all over town. If you can't sell an item, donate it to a shelter.
