Time to Throw Things Out and Start Fresh

It’s the beginning of a new year, and it’s time for new beginnings. We all have items in our homes that we’ve held onto for far too long. Whether it's due to sentimental value, the thought of repurposing it someday, or simply forgetting it exists, clutter can easily accumulate. Clearing out unnecessary items not only frees up space but also creates a cleaner and more organized living environment. Here are some common items in your Justice home that you should consider tossing out today:

Expired Food and Spices

Take a quick look through your pantry and refrigerator. Expired canned goods, condiments, and spices often go unnoticed but can lose flavor and quality over time. Toss anything past its expiration date and make room for fresh ingredients.

Old Magazines, Newspapers, and Outdated Paperwork

While magazines can be great for inspiration, stacks of old issues often collect dust and take up valuable space. If you haven’t revisited them in months, it’s time to recycle. Keep only the editions with sentimental or practical value.

Paper clutter is one of the easiest things to let pile up. Go through old bills, receipts, and paperwork, shredding what you no longer need and filing important documents for safekeeping.

Worn-Out Towels and Old Clothes and Shoes

Towels and sheets wear down over time, becoming threadbare and less effective. Replace them with new ones and repurpose old fabrics as cleaning rags if they're still usable.

If you haven’t worn an item of clothing in over a year, it’s time to donate or discard it. Keep what fits and makes you feel good, and let go of pieces that no longer suit your style or needs.

Outdated Electronics and Unused Kitchen Gadgets

Many homes have a drawer full of old phones, chargers, and cables that no longer match modern devices. Safely dispose of or recycle these electronics to avoid clutter and help the environment.

If your cabinets are full of gadgets you rarely or never use, it might be time to donate or sell them. Freeing up space in the kitchen makes it easier to cook and organize.

Expired Makeup and Toiletries

Cosmetic products and skincare items have expiration dates that often go overlooked. Using expired products can lead to skin irritation, so go through your bathroom cabinets and dispose of anything past its prime.

Broken or Unused Toys

Children’s toys tend to accumulate quickly, and broken or unused items can create unnecessary clutter. Donate toys in good condition and recycle or discard damaged ones.

Excess Plastic Bags and Containers

While it’s practical to keep a few reusable bags and storage containers, an overflowing stash can take over your kitchen. Recycle extras and organize what’s left.

Refresh Your Home

Decluttering your Justice home can be incredibly satisfying and helps create a more functional and inviting space. By letting go of items you no longer need, you’ll not only free up storage but also make room for the things that truly matter. Start small, tackle one area at a time, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a cleaner, more organized home.
