Do's and Don'ts of Donating

　　Giving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to make space in your home for the items that you do enjoy on a regular basis. __1__ Here are 4 do's and don'ts of donating your belongings.

　　Do Prep Your Clothes

　　You've thoroughly cleaned out your closets and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated. Before you bag up these pieces, inspect each one to ensure that they're in good condition. Make sure all buttons are fastened, and that you can't see any stain. __2__

　　Don't Donate Damaged Items

　　The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it's in a good, usable condition. Don't donate clothes or furniture with rips (裂口), chipped dishes, or books that are missing pages. __3__ Find a local company that will recycle these items instead.

　　Do Donate More than Just Clothes

　　__4__ Stuffed animals, framed pictures, unused candles, small power tools, sports equipment, ornaments, baskets, blenders, dishes, glassware, silverware, pots and pans, curtains, blankets, toasters, mixers, pillows, towels, bed sheets, bikes, and exercise equipment are very popular donations.

　　__5__

　　With a little common sense it's easy to figure out items that are ideal for donation. But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought. As a gentle reminder, it's never a good idea to donate car parts, flammable products, construction materials, weapons, or explosives.
