Austin Earth Day / De-Clutter Tips
Our sellers are constantly looking for ways to prepare, stage and de-clutter in anticipation of marketing their home or sometimes they are just moved to “straighten this place up”. We often get questions in regards to what do we do with all this stuff?
We like to encourage folks to de-clutter in an eco-friendly was as possible.
Since Earth Day is coming up on April 22, we thought we'd list a few Austin area resources for disposing of your “stuff” in an environmentally sensitive way.
Most of these resources are free, but some charge a small fee. Well worth it when ridding your life of that annoying junk and that little boost to your social conscious feels nice as well. If you are donating, be sure to ask about a receipt for donations.
