You determine from time to time to clean out your house. What do you do with your stuff? Donate it or Dump it?
There are several factors to consider when deciding to simply throw something away or spend a little extra time and donate it to an appropriate charity. Here are five questions to answer in order to make a determination.

Hopefully, whatever you decide you’ve gotten great use out of your items. So often I have purchased something, thinking it would be the greatest purchase ever, and never so much as taken it out of the packaging. By the time you realize you’ll never use it, too much time has passed to return it.
