8 Things You Should Declutter This Season

Seasonal shifts not only bring a change in weather, but they also tend to spark decluttering sprees. As summer turns to fall and families transition from vacation mode back to regular schedules, there are some items that naturally find their way into donation or trash piles. Keep this list handy if you’re looking to lighten your clutter this season.

1. Expired items. From sunscreen to salsa, go through your cabinets and toss anything that’s past its prime.
2. Broken items. Busted beach chairs, flat pool floats, and stretched out swimwear that can’t be repaired may be recycled.
3. Unused items. Consider donating leftover craft kits or excess office supplies to schools.
4. Outgrown items. From toys to toddler clothes, give away anything that’s still in good shape.
5. Car clutter. Post roadtrip cleanout can include worn floor mats, broken backseat organizers, and all the reusable bags you saved but haven’t used.
6. Kitchen clutter. Donate grilling tools and partyware you haven’t used and toss any mismatched food storage containers or water bottles that are now missing lids.
7. Travel gear. If your luggage can’t take another trip, it’s time to say bon voyage one last time.
8. Decor. Any summer-themed sets that didn’t get displayed can get donated.
