How to be disorganized

I’ve been enjoying this series on the “6 Keys to a Disorganized & Unproductive Home” over at SimpleMom.  My favourite segment so far has been #3 “Have too much stuff”.  I’m really trying hard to declutter in these last weeks.  On that note, are there any organizations in Ottawa that pick up used clothes?

The Cerebral Palsy people will not only come to your house and take what you’ve got from your porch, they will call you on a regular basis to arrange a pickup.

I love them.

Their focus is used clothing, but they will also take household items most of the time.

The diabetes association will do the same thing. In case you’ve got so much stuff that you want to spread the love :)

The number for pick up is Call 1-800-505-5525

Oh yes, the ofcp call A LOT. How could I forget? In fact, they used to call so much I wasn’t sure they were legit. Thanks Vivian for the Diabetes link too. Awesome.

You? Needing to declutter? I don’t see it…

I personally have the opposite problem, “oh, you still needed that? sorry…”

Oh no. I’m not even a mom and I do all that stuff. That’s not good!
