Are you ready to organise your home, declutter it, and reduce waste moving forward?
You’re pressed for time, it’s understandable. You have so much to stay on top of, clutter is just another to-do on your list, but you’re ready to do it now! Great! Join the club! It’s time to turn over a new leaf and make a positive contribution to the eco-conscious movement and it has to start at home. Let’s get started.
Organising Your Home
Getting started is often the hardest part, so make it easier on yourself with a bit of planning. The last thing you want is to start in a bunch of different rooms and give up halfway.
As tempting as it is to tackle the biggest room first… you may want to ease yourself into that. Start with something smaller (even a drawer!) on the scale and use it to build momentum and motivation. Whatever you tackle, be sure you have enough time to finish the task. If there’s a large room that will take more than one day, break the room into manageable tasks so that you’re still organised.
As with any cleaning session, you should have organised piles of things you can donate, recycle, bin, or keep. It’s easier to let go of things when you think about the ultimate goal being to decide what treasures you want to keep. As difficult as it is to let go, if you don’t use it or have space, you need to be ruthless.
When determining what pile something belongs in, be considerate. The bookcase you hate in the living room could still be a useful organisational tool in the shed. Or, with a lick of paint, it might look great in the bathroom for towels and toilet rolls. Likewise, don’t just dump it in the donate pile if it isn’t in good condition, it creates more work for op shops. However, there are free-cycling sites where you can post your items for people who love projects.
Reducing Waste
With your home clutter-free, you can set your eyes on the future. How are you going to reduce waste moving forward? Well, first things first, make sure you have a clear recycling area to ensure you’re getting the basics right. Your council bins should be more than sufficient for your everyday recycling and rubbish, but it’s those extra bits that trip you up.
From the big annual gardening clearout to the electronic devices that break down all at once; these are unique opportunities to reduce your waste. A professional rubbish removal service can uplift excess garden waste and a range of other items for recycling or landfill. You can also create a compost heap if you enjoy gardening.
When it comes to electronic devices, you can recycle them through various online companies. These companies either refurbish devices for resale or take the usable parts.
Once you’ve cleared out the clutter, you can organise the remaining items. Everything should have a home and if it isn’t in use, it should be tucked away in its home. That being said, if it gets regular use, its home should be somewhere handy so you can easily access it. If you tuck it on a high shelf or the back of a cupboard, you will never put it away.
As for keeping your home clutter-free? Having a regular tidy-up day where you clear any clutter that accumulates should help you stay on top of things. The first big decluttering session is always the hardest, but as long as you commit to it, you will only ever have to do it once.
Try to be mindful of what you collect or keep in the future. If you buy new socks and underwear, the old ones should get tossed. If you buy a new toaster, the old toaster should be recycled. There’s no point letting things build back up to create a new clutter problem. Staying clutter-free means there’s less to clean, less to organise, and much less to stress about! With reducing waste in mind, you’ll have more financial freedom.
