Challenge #1: done

Remember my challenge set #1? Well here are the results of my challenge! It was a fun but also exhausting move as I waited until the last minute to clean out my room and get everything packed. I was very surprised the amount that I donated to the Salvation Army along with finding so other avenues for donations. I felt that lots of things went to a new home and not just a landfill. Includes "Les métamorphoses du vide" 613 Album by Chapelier Fou

Here are some of the places that I found for a new home:

*Jeans- too worn out to donate to the Salvation Army so they were to this really awesome store called Madewell. They turn them into housing insulation for communities in need. So cool! They have store locations throughout the US so you bring them in and can even get a discount on a pair of jeans from the store.

also shoes- found https://soles4souls.org/get-involved/give-shoes/group/shipping/#few where they collect and distribute old shoes to help end poverty here in the US and aboard. I have away running sneakers and converse.

*Fantasy fictions books- these puppies are going to be sold- eventually. Signing up as an Amazon Affiliate, I am going to catalog these and sell them. If this is anyone's favorite genres, please reach out I've got lots to share!

*Expired medication- this one did not do so well. Still on the look out on what to do with expired medication.

*Old mail- went through soooooo much old mail and cards. Discovered that you can donate old cards to https://www.stjudesranch.org/contribute/recycled-card-program/ where they repurpose them and sell them!

*Broken printer- discovered that here in Massachusetts there are lots of ways to recycle old electronics. Many stores that are nationwide also offer recycling programs. Office Depot and Staples are just some to name a few.

As I settle into my new apartment, I am thrilled to know that everything was brought with a purpose. If you feel inspired to use any of these, please tell me about it! It's a great feeling to clean everything out and feel like you are helping others.
