Yuleima Gutierrez @YuleimaVzla (1857) • Maracaibo, Venezuela 6 Sep

Recently I have gotten it into my head that I should get rid of a lot of things that I'm accumulating at home. Basically because I feel like the more I accumulate I'm blocking the way I also receive new things because we always...

Stacey @xstitcher (39013) • Petaluma, California 18 Jun 24

Well, all I got in the mail today was something from people wanting money that I don't have. At least there were no bills. So, the mail I got today is going in the garbage. Only managed a 20-minute walk this afternoon. I...

What do you do with random stuff you just can’t throw out?

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 27 Feb 24

I hate to throw things away. Anything at all useful, if I don’t keep it in case I need it, I try to pass on to someone else who needs one. Anything in good condition and popular (like clothes or crockery) I donate to a charity...

Stacey @xstitcher (39013) • Petaluma, California 16 May 23

I took a little walk to the mailbox hoping there might be something good waiting for me. Unfortunately, there was just some ads, repetitive papers, and a bill that I can't throw away, but otherwise I'm pretty sure that everything...

Mail...

Stacey @xstitcher (39013) • Petaluma, California 31 Mar 23

Ugh. Why can't I ever remember what I've ordered? I honestly do not remember at all what I ordered from Redline Steel most recently. Guess I'll find out when I open it. Otherwise, the mail was a couple of things...

marguicha @marguicha (230334) • Chile 22 Mar 23

I just read a post by @fleura about throwing away and recycling. And I remembered again that in my country people have turned the beautiful Atacama desert into a dumpster. When I when there with my husband over 30 years ago,...

The things people throw away!

Fleur @Fleura (34943) • United Kingdom 22 Mar 23

I am constantly shocked by the things people just chuck out without thinking. I have never understood the ‘throw-away’ society, even though it was what my generation grew up with. A house round the corner from us has had some...

I got rid of these plants

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52665) • Philippines 18 Sep 21

More than 7 months ago, I was able to acquire this aqua plant when it was just too small. I really thought it was a dwarf water lettuce. But when I exposed it to pure sunlight for weeks and it grew more than five inches. I let it...

Stacey @xstitcher (39013) • Petaluma, California 7 May 21

I'm going to go have lunch, as it's almost 12:30 pm, but I wanted to come in and say hello, first. I'm doing some last packing/putting in charity boxes/throwing things away by myself today. It's slow going, but it'll get done....

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169447) • United States 10 Dec 17

When you have been given a prescription and filled it, then the doctor says "Don't take it anymore." how do you get rid of it? Long ago they said to flush left over pills. . . not good. We have medications showing up in our water...

It’s Amazing What People Throw Away in Tahiti

Ann LeFlore @poehere (15123) • French Polynesia 4 Nov 15

Here in Tahiti I don’t think people understand the value of a dollar. Today more people here on the islands just throw their expensive laptops, PC’s, monitors, printers, and even Touch Screen computers away because they need minor...

Do we have a throw away society?

Debra Singletary @happytails (299) 29 Sep 15

I believe so....we have turned into people that believe everything is disposable. Look at us....when our grandparents had a vehicle they kept it till it could run no longer, now we keep it till we see something we want more; we...

Do you recycle, throw away or give away?

marguicha @marguicha (230334) • Chile 15 May 11

I don´t have the heart to throw away many things and I get very mad at my youngest daughter who finds everything is disposable. I recycle a lot, keep a lot of things "just in case" and give away some to people who have need for...

Paper towel on the floor....

Bethany1202 @Bethany1202 (3431) • United States 2 Feb 10

I swear, every single time I go to use the bathroom at work, there is a paper towel on the floor by the trash can as if someone missed throwing it away. We don't have any leaks and it's only an employee bathroom, not a public...

macdingolinger @macdingolinger (10385) • United States 7 Jan 10

Seriously, they didn't throw hardly anything away! They used cigar boxes or any boxes to store all kinds of little things. I remember pill bottles that were used for pins, needles and even buttons! Does anyone even save buttons...

I can't use an undergarment with a small stain on it. I don't feel comfortable using it with a stain. I throw it away irrespective how expensive it is. I usually buy branded undergarments, but make sure to use old ones duirng...

Do you like clutter clearing?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31042) • United Kingdom 30 Mar 09

Clutter clearing is about assessing what is useful and will be kept. Sometimes a person no longer uses or wants items and so these are all are thrown out. Did you know that the average person only wears about 20% of the clothing...

Do you throw away old books?

Masmasika @Masmasika (1921) • Philippines 6 Oct 08

I love books and don't have the heart to throw away books even if they are already too old. Even my child's books are still in my book shelf. I keep every book that I buy and find time to read them once in a while. Books make me...

I have the prettiest weeds, wild asters.

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 16 Sep 08

Do you have weeds that are actually wild flowers in the wrong place? What do you do with them? Cut them down and make a bouquet? Uproot them and throw them away? Dig them up and plant them in your flower garden? Or maybe a...
