Decluttering is going ok over here, but does anyone have any ideas for what to do with the number of chargers I have (and don't know which phones they fit)?

I can't bear to send stuff to landfill, have tried freecycle and can't find my camera charger to list on ebay! Is there a company like Mazuma, Envirofone etc that recycles chargers???

Chargers shouldn't got to landfill since the introduction of the WEEE directive (I realise this sadly isn't enforceable for householders), so you local recycling centre should have a section for electrical waste where they will be separated for resuse or recycling.

Alternatively, most of the phone recycling schemes (e.g. foneback) take chargers, manuals and accessories - they can then match them up with the phones they've been sent or send them for remanufacturing/recycling & material recovery.

Wilf - I'm sure I've asked before... do you live in a tardis??? I don't understand how there is still stuff coming out of your house!

You should be rich by the time you've ebayed all that stuff though

I'm back - haven't been around since the start of August - so much other stuff going on and money saving, decluttering etc have all gone out the window a bit

But I want to try and get back into in gently over the next few weeks so I can hit the ground running January :A

So over the last few months the big things we've done are:
buy a new filing cabinet thing for our office and fill it, and file all the stuff from the floor away too :rolleyes: - need to keep on top of that now.
Do a big de-clutter in the garage - completely filling the boot and back seats of our focus with all sorts of stuff
We've also been very good at putting paper etc straight in the recycling bins which is good and helps the mess.

I have got a few new clothes recently so I need to declutter my wardrobe and we got a new tv but the old one in currently in the garage so that needs sorting....

I'm aiming to post every day now

in - a few extras for tea

out - some rubbish

need a kick up the behind, but having a CBA day - I promise I'll be back on track tomorrow.... my house is getting there... well it's clean and clutter free that you can see but if anyone remembers the episode of Anthea Turner's Perfect Housewife well I'm like the Connie cupboards lady........

Greent... it seems your washing machine is very hungry again :rotfl:
I know its not funny but it does make me smile when you say your clothes have been eaten! I have visions of a washing machine with teeth!

Hope your resting lots debidoodle
