Choose an area and make a plan

  • Choose one shelf, drawer or small area to work through.
  • Set aside a little time and gather bags or boxes for sorting.
  • Make space for things to keep, offer, repair, donate or recycle.

Sort one item at a time

  • Keep items you use or have a clear plan to use.
  • Check that anything you plan to offer is yours to pass on.
  • Set aside items that need cleaning, repair or a closer condition check.
  • Check local guidance before disposing of anything you cannot reuse.

Before you make an offer

  • Note the item’s size, make, model or other useful details.
  • List any marks, wear, missing parts and what is included.
  • Take clear photos in good light and remove personal information from the background.
  • Decide what kinds of swaps or arrangements you would consider.
