Tip 7 Tip 7 Sell or Donate Goods Instead of Throwing Them Out. Instead of discarding unwanted appliances, tools, or clothes, try selling or donating them. Donate or resell items to thrift stores or other organizations in need.
Donors sometimes receive tax deductions or even cash.
These organizations typically take everything from clothes and textiles to appliances and furniture. All should be clean and of respectable quality. Sell secondhand items at fairs, bazaars, swap meets, and garage sales. Consider acquiring used clothing at thrift or consignment shops. Consider conducting a food or clothing drive to help others.
