Items To Get Rid Of While Reorganizing Your Home
By thom·January 14, 2026
It’s Organize Your Home Day!
If your New Year’s resolution is to finally get organized, you’re not alone. Now that all the holiday gifts are unwrapped, you realize… every single thing in your house needs a new home — including the new stuff.
Professional organizers say January is prime time to declutter. Their hit list? Easy: toss the clothes you’ll never wear, the paperwork breeding on your desk, and those crunchy old towels pretending to be bath linens.
Also: expired food, broken gadgets, and holiday decor that’s lost its sparkle. Go ahead and ditch the books you’ll never read, the kids’ forgotten toys, that gift you swore you’d “totally use,” and the kitchenware still in the box.
Do it now and you can smugly say you checked off a whole resolution before February. Look at you, domestic superhero.
