Vox Pop: Converting clutter from trash to treasure
Merlin Mann | Jul 4 2007
Quick way to dispose of lots of stuff? | Ask MetaFilter Wow, talk about good timing. I've noticed in comments on this week's clutter posts that there's a lot of interest from you all in the away part of "throw away" -- people seem to have a lot of ideas on the most interesting, charitable, creative, and environmentally-responsible routes for converting your own trash into someone else's treasure. So far we (and that AskMe thread) have covered:
What's your creative solution? Let's try to avoid names of specific businesses and charities except inasmuch as they offer a truly creative and non-obvious solution to reuse or recycling. What's the most interesting way you've cleared your crap while doing some good? Have you got any suggestions that are clever and convenient? 28 Comments

I organized a huge community yard sale, and raised nearly $4000 to help furnish houses for Katrina victims. My bosses let me use their parking lot for the sale, and their back room to store the stuff people donated before the sale. It was a huge amount of work, but a lot of people decluttered, and a worthy cause benefited. (Of course some people bought other peoples clutter, so maybe...) Declutter, and good Karma! ;-) » POSTED IN:
