Declutter and organize with intention to care for the earth and the safety of our communities now and in the future. You have options for safely removing/rehoming your no-longer-needed items and hazardous wastes.
π WHEN YOU HIRE ME: Because mobilizing clutter and properly donating/disposing of items is important and immediately shows progress, one carload per session is included at no added cost!
Here are a few local resources (and please comment with your favorites!):
DONATIONS:
Start with friends or family: would anyone you know love this item? Does someone you know need this?
Gift items to your neighbors in need via your local Buy Nothing Group on Facebook, or other free sites such as Freecycle.org, curb alerts on Nextdoor. Mom groups very likely have parents-to-be who could benefit from gently used items!
Thrift stores: make drop-offs to your local Wilmington Prime Thrift Store, Great Stuff, Annex Marketplace, Planet Green Thrift Store, 2nd Chance Resale , Recyle and Refurbish, DBCC's Great Stuff Savvy Resale & Home, or bigger chains like Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County or The Salvation Army Delaware. My personal favorite if you're heading to Philly is Philly AIDS Thrift! β€

HAZARDOUS WASTE:
