Home Items You Don't Need After 60

The drawer that sticks halfway, the cupboard of tubs with no lids, the shoes hanging on the back of the closet door. Most of what fills our houses came in for a busier life, and it is still asking to be dusted, moved and reached for. Here are eleven things I decided I do not need anymore, and what I did with each one. Nobody is moving anywhere, and none of it needs a ladder. WHAT IS COVERED The knife block, and the knives worth keeping The drawer of one-job gadgets, and the hand-saving tools that stay Plastic tubs with no lids, and what goes in the microwave Extra sets of dishes on the high shelf The over-the-door shoe organizer, and a chair by the door Cleaning gadgets that need special refills The digital picture frame, and the cords behind the couch The drawer of old chargers, remotes and phones The bathroom medicine cabinet, and how to get rid of old medicine safely Old tax papers and bank statements Old paint and chemicals in the garage Old phones and lithium batteries never go in the trash or the recycling bin. Ask your pharmacy about a medicine drop box. Tell me in the comments: what is the one thing in your house you keep only because of who gave it to you?
