Well half price doesn't pay much, they're a secondhand book chain. But my books are mostly manga and some are popular and I know I'd be better selling them than giving them to goodwill. We've practically filled up our goodwill with donations after clearing out my grandmothers as is!

Count me in! This is something I should have done long ago, so I doubt I'll get around to it anytime soon. But I need to do this. Edit: I have actually started!

List of things I've gotten rid of:

1) old party ware and decorations
2) old phone books and magazines
3) baby clothing hangers
4) 3D puzzles
5) hand made jewelry
6) Halloween candy!
7) old books

There are many things I hope to add to the list soon, but I need to have a yard sale to get rid of them. Also getting things together to sell here or on eBay.

Congrats on the progress you've made.

I really wish I could just clean out my "need to sell" drawer! Argh. It just piles up.

I'm so on board!  I've already gotten rid of 26 things.  I can't remember them all to list them, but some of them were:

1. Clothes that didn't fit anymore or had holes
2. flower planter that has been lingering empty in the laundry room for a year
3. unused shoelaces

If you are getting rid of old, unused or out of date medications please return them to a pharmacy for proper disposal ^.^ you don't want medication to end up in the environment because of landfills.

Checked into that already. They said sealed plastic bag with used kitty litter or coffee grounds.

I love having a good clear out!!! We've just moved house so I got rid of loads of stuff whilst packing up, and have already started a new bag for the charity shop whilst unpacking. Things we've gotten rid of  include:
1. Fridge/freezer (gave to charity; new house has fridge included in, our housemates have freezer)
2. Microwave (gave to charity; new housemates have)
3. TV (gave to friends; bought new one as have bought one our whole married life of 12 years!)
4. Vacuum (gave to friends; new housemates have)
5. Crockery (gave to charity; had always had secondhand ones so bought a new set from ikea, after missing out on a lovely set from next :( )
6. TV stand (gave to friends; bought nice new one to go with new TV)
7. Chest of drawers (gave to charity; no longer needed)
8. 3 Lampshades (gave to friends; no longer needed)
9. 3 pairs curtains (gave to friends; no longer needed)
10. Lamp (charity shop; unused)
11. Some old work clothes (charity shop)
12. 2 double wardrobes (sold to my sister; no longer needed, gave to my sister as still quite nice condition)
13. Books (charity shop)
14. DVDs (charity shop)

I think some other odds and ends went in the charity shop bags but can't quite remember off the top of my head. There'll be more!!

I listed 33 things on ebay today...  I'm very excited to make some space.

Yep, that's the way to go. :)

Juliepants: I'm impressed! A move is often a good occasion to do a big clear out.

Thank you! Although some of it was upgraded, but still, sometimes finding the motivation to even do that is difficult. I do hang on to a lot of old tat!! I'm currently putting my ponies back out in their display cabinet, I'm going to try and put some to one side that I don't have a great attachment to to pass onto someone else (mostly to make space for new ones though!!).

I am in the same situation as Honeycomb as I am heading back to the UK from Japan on Wednesday (:() and I have already  had to send a lot of things home - research books etc - to parents because of case space.

Today I have been cleaning the apartment. I have about 100 unneeded carrier bags that are going to recycling tomorrow. I have a half-empty bottle of bath stuff and one of mouthwash which can't really be saved or kept so they will have to go as well tomorrow morning, before the apartment is inspected. I donated my spare laundry stuff to the apartment building laundry room so someone can get use from it when I'm gone (they were using my stuff anyway without permission, so I might as well use that fact...). I've recycled all the maps, paper notes, etc that I don't need any more. Oh, and my shoes from hell that leak and got soaked several times in rainstorms - I threw them out already, no sense in taking them home when I'd just have to throw them out there.

Stuff I have sent home already:
-Research books
-Winter jumpers (several, as they hog case space and it's warm here)
-Pokemon plush
-PSP games
-DVDs

The above of course aren't really getting rid, just relocating, so don't totally count.

At home I know I had a big sort out before I came to Japan and I have about 25 MH dolls, a bunch of MLP stuff and some random stuff to get rid of. I just haven't had an opportunity, being not only in the right city but the right country. But this kind of thread inspires me that when I get a chance to be home for some days together, I do something about that. Including getting rid of the faded and incomplete Paradise Estate that is taking up space in Dad's shed. (It is not in good shape, and there isn't much point in trying to sell it, or donate it, but I feel I can't throw it out, so I don't know what to do with it >< advice please)

Last summer I got rid of a lot of stuff, at carbooting and online and the summer before we cleared five boxes from the attic. But somehow stuff keeps appearing...

I don't think I have 50 things to get rid of, but I wanted to pop in and suggest people donate things to local homeless shelters if possible! "Obvious" things like clothing, blankets, and unused toiletries are always nice, but some will accept all sorts of things that can help their residents. The one we donate to is for women & children so we can donate things like toys, books/magazines, Halloween costumes, and even furniture. Its a great way to help your community.

You all inspired me!

I've got rid of some clothes that I don't wear, don't fit or are worn out. I also cleared out my bathroom undersink cupboard.

It's not 50 things, but a start.
