with all the new stuff available to us today and old items keep accumulating in our homes, how do we manage everyday clutter and trash? What do you use to organize your things? do you have your own "trash day?"
One example are your clothes or items that you have outgrown, or that have gone out of fashion, or that you feel others will have better use of. you can actually put a bag at the base of your closet and store those items and once the bag is full, you can donate the stuff to a charitable institution or perhaps do a garage sale so you will earn few bucks.
i usually organize things in my house during weekends or holidays.
how about you? any tips you can give?

I have made a depository area for every kind of trash we have. I'll do the decluttering almost everyday in the kitchen to avoid crowding of insects and for a cleaner sorrounding. Bottles are separated from plastic and cans so that it's easier to dispose to junks buyer. I give my outgrown clothes to my sisters and cousins whoever wants them and I put in one box those that were retained for future use like giving it to charity. The most worn out were separated for house use such as rugs, wiper.

As for me, applicances with defects are placed at the backyard and then I sell it to those who buy junks. Like yesterday, I have two monitors that were no longer working. I gave it to the junk collector, He weigh it and then he paid me P320.00 for that two junked monitors,(Hurray!) I also collected bottles which are no longer useful and I sell it also to the same collector. With regards to old clothes, some were given away and some were converted into rags. I can do these things only when I have no work and that is usually every saturday or sunday.
