A new year means a fresh start, and that’s just as important in your home as in other areas of your life. After receiving gifts over the holidays, this is a great time to make room for them by getting rid of things you don’t need or don’t use.
Check out our new year purge list for ways you can create more space in your home in 2024.
Clothing
Evaluate your wardrobe and consider donating or selling clothes that no longer fit, are out of style, or haven’t been worn in a long time.
Electronics
Dispose of old or broken electronics responsibly. Recycle or donate items if they are still functional but no longer needed.
Paperwork
Sort through your documents and shred or recycle any outdated or unnecessary paperwork. Keep important documents like tax records and legal papers in a safe place.
Kitchen items
Assess your kitchen gadgets, utensils, and appliances. Donate or sell duplicates or items that you rarely use.
Books and media
Consider donating or selling books, CDs, DVDs, or other media that you no longer need or enjoy.
Unused items
Identify items in your home that have gone unused for an extended period. Donate or sell items that are still in usable condition.
Expired products
Check your pantry, medicine cabinet, and bathroom for expired food, medications, and cosmetics. Get rid of these items responsibly.
Clutter
Assess miscellaneous items and consider purging duplicates or unnecessary clutter to open up your living space.
Remember, these are just general suggestions, and the decision to purge items ultimately depends on your personal circumstances and preferences.
