More Tips on Decluttering
Appliances and Furniture:
Storing Applicances
There is no point in keeping broken appliances. If you’ve been promising yourself to fix your old toaster but haven’t got around to it a year later then the chances are you never will. The same goes for old furniture that needs to be fixed or re-upholstered. Generally these items end up in the garage, gathering dust. Fix them or get rid of them. However, if you have perfectly good furniture and appliances that you don’t use, consider these tips:
- Working appliances can be swapped or given away over the internet or you can give them away on Dublin waste website FREE Trade Site.
- Smaller electrical and electronic items can be sold on bidding sites such as eBay.
- Young couples moving into a first home often need furniture. Try placing an ad on the internet or in a magazine such as Buy and Sell or try eBay.

Storeroom for Toys & Boxes
Furniture that you are keeping for children or items that no longer fit in the home, such as a piano, should be put into Elephant self-storage for just €10 per week.
Trade Fairs
This is the time of year for Trade Fairs. You can see a list of some at http://tradeshow.tradekey.com/. Quite often these fairs have bargains if you take delivery quickly. You can store your purchases at Elephant Self Storage and pay only for the space you use and for the time you use it. It's a very flexible and economical means of improving your margins.
