Fall Declutter Checklist
Lighten up before the holidays. Rotate closets, edit sports gear and decor, and stage donations so cold-weather routines are easy.
Supplies
- Bins/bags: Keep, Donate, Sell, Recycle, Trash
- Labels/marker, tape, sticky notes
- Laundry basket for “re-home” items
- Photo setup for quick listings
- Seasonal storage bins or vacuum bags
Quick Rules
Edit before you store — only favorites earn a bin. If it didn’t get used this past season, release it. Set a donation or porch-pickup date this week.
- Cap “maybe” items to one small box per person.
- Photograph sale items immediately; price in bands.
