Clearing Clutter the High-Tech way

In my quest to empty the garage of stored and old goodies, I joined Freecycle.org this weekend - the Cape Town chapter.

Oh my goodness! I posted an offer for the huge pile of clothing/shoes/bedding I've tried to get rid of before - and within seconds had 9 emails back, wanting the stuff. One guy's coming through to pick up some of it over lunchtime. But he didn't take me seriously when I said "Car-load of clothes" - he's arriving in a small car which will probably only take half the stuff.

However, I do have a lot of other folk lined up to take what's left. And then I can start advertising the other things!

Within no time, if this is anything to go by, I should have cleared enough space for the car, a work bench and all my power tools. And have a whole lot less stuff. Them rats is gonna have to find a new home.

I highly recommend getting involved with Freecycle or a similar group, if you're drowning in clutter. One man's junk is another's treasure, and there may be someone out there who has been desperately seeking exactly what you're desperately trying to rid yourself of.

Give it a go!
