Spring cleaning usually brings to mind dusting, washing windows, swapping out sheets, and giving everything a good scrub. But what if we thought about spring cleaning as something bigger? What if it was an opportunity to clear out the things cluttering our space and, in turn, cluttering our minds?

That’s exactly what we’re suggesting.

What to Toss

Knowing what to throw away can be the hardest part of spring cleaning, especially if you’re not in the habit of letting things go. Many of us fall into the “I might need this someday” mindset, and before we know it, closets are overflowing, garages are packed, and attics are full of things we don’t actually want or use.

A simple rule the Radius team likes to follow: Have I used this in the last year? If the answer is no, it’s probably time to let it go.

Start small. That expired can of beans hiding in the back of the cupboard? The greasy rag in the corner of the workshop? Broken odds and ends that serve no purpose anymore? Getting rid of these little things can make a surprisingly big difference.

Common items to toss:

  • Expired food and spices
  • Broken or unusable tools
  • Old rags, towels, and cleaning supplies
  • Random cords
  • Items damaged beyond repair

What to Donate

We always encourage donating whenever possible. It’s an easy way to give useful items a second life while helping others in the process.

Consider donating:

  • Usable clothing and coats
  • Shelf-stable, unexpired food items
  • Duplicate kitchen items (pots, pans, utensils)
  • Books you’re no longer reading
  • CDs, DVDs, and records
  • Gently used kids’ toys and puzzles
  • Electronics you no longer use but still work

If it still has life left in it, there’s a good chance someone else could use it.

What to Haul Away

Some items are simply too large, too heavy, or too overwhelming to deal with on your own, and that’s where Radius Hauling comes in.
