6. Donate items when possible. If you have old clothing, electronics, or other items you don't want but are still in decent shape, donate them instead of throwing them out in the trash. Better they end up in a classroom or someone's closet than the landfill.
Old clothes and fabric scraps can be donated to a fabric recycling facility.
Schools often accept donations of old computers and other electronics.
Contact a local homeless shelter or donation center to see about donating furniture, electronics, cars, and any other items you're finished using.
