When we resently moved to Bristol we recycled a large amount of clothing, old toys, ornaments etc. Because of the quantity we shared our horde with a number of charity shops. Putting them into types of items really helps the volunteers – see katie’s comment 30th Aug. We also try to buy books from charity shops(and return them to the shop when read for more recycling), clothes (particularly children’s, suits etc), and nick nacks (which again can be recycled by returning them when we want a change). I was shocked by quite how much we had horded and vowed to never be quite so bad again (try to buy only what I know I will wear, use, and really like)...watch this space!
