When I organize homes, a large part of my services is downsizing/ decluttering household items and getting rid of all sorts of stuff! From clothes, shoes, pantry items, to larger items such as bed frames, mattresses, desks, tables, etc. Instead of tossing these items to the curb, I encourage all my clients to review this list of resources! Most items can be donated to local organizations or recycled - being organized doesn't have to lead to a whole lot of waste!
I've compiled a list of local businesses and charities that are able to recycle and repurpose your items here in the Central Texas area. This list will continue to be added to and changed as I gather more information, so if you don't see something in your area just yet - keep tuning in!
Also - if you have any recommendations for me to add to this list, please let me know via the contact form or message me on Facebook!
Thank you for contributing to keeping our community clean and resourceful
