Determining whether to junk or donate items can be simplified with a usability test. Items that are clean, safe, and functional qualify for donation, while broken or unsafe items should be junked. Each donation center has specific acceptance criteria, and it is crucial to check these before attempting to donate. Donation centers may refuse items even in good condition if they do not meet their guidelines. Keeping these factors in mind can streamline the process of decluttering.
"I start by asking, 'Can someone else realistically use this item in its current condition?' If the answer is yes, the item usually qualifies for donation."
"Every donation center has their own rules. Many centers refuse mattresses, oversized desks, cribs, and certain electronics due to safety and health regulations."
