Ditch your junk and donate to charity all in one go!

Do you ever look round your attic or garage and think "Right, that's it! I'm going to have a good clear out!". It's easy to part with the stuff that's real rubbish but getting rid of things that feel too good to throw away can sometimes be a bit more difficult.

If you have access to the internet there are a few novel approaches to the problem you might want to try. They enable you to get rid of the item and the opportunity to feel good about raising funds for your favourite charity (Fife Carers Centre obviously!!):

Ebay - you can sell your item and donate all or part of your sale price to the charity of your choice. It's great fun to do and fairly straightforward (just try not to go and buy a whole load of new junk to replace the stuff you've just got rid of!!).

JumbleAid - a good old fashioned jumble sale with a new twist - an on line jumble sale, avoids the rough and tumble and sharp elbows of fellow jumblers. The money given for the item can go to your favourite charity (yup! That's us!)

Freecycle - give it away! One man's rubbish is another man's treasure. You can advertise your item for pick up only so that there's no postage, or you can ask for the delivery charge to be paid.

Then having cleared your junk you can sit back and enjoy the glow gained from a job well done!
