The following tip is something I just started to do and it’s been really effective. Just like the keyring holder, it’s such a simple idea (AND leads to a lot of decluttering).
Keep an empty box or bag available at all times in your house for donation items.
Usually when I decide to donate items I spend a bunch of time gathering up a lot of stuff around the house I don’t use regularly and decide whether to ebay, donate it, or start using it.
Now, when I see something in the house I really don’t need anymore and it’s in good shape, I just put it right in the box or bag and when it’s full I take it to the Goodwill. I just happen to have a Goodwill I can walk to which is SO handy but for the rest of you I suggest locating the nearest or most convenient location of a Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc and make that the one donation spot you always go. When your box or bag is full put it in the car and drop it off when you’re “out and about.”
