Sort through the keep box, aiming to put more into the charity or sale boxes. Bring the box for charity to your car.
The rule of thumb here is if you have not used any item in a year or more, it goes! Add it to one of the other boxes, or toss it into the garbage. Donate the items you have not used items in 1-2 years. Chances are you don't need them. Donate them to the less fortunate or perhaps a family member who is starting out or moving away to college. This principle also applies to furniture, not just dishes and clothes. Call a charity of your choice and ask them to pick them up. Most of the time they will. Sort through and price items for your garage sale. This will save you time when you have the sale. Try to arrange the garage sale at an early date, so you will not be tempted to return the items to your house. Bring the filled garbage bags to the curb on the next pick-up day.
