Cleaning out clutter can be a tough task,especially if you possess been letting it build up for a while. Instead of setting aside a huge block of time to consume care of months' or years' worth of clutter, consume baby steps by throwing away only one type of item a day. And by throwing away, and I mean recycling,selling, donating, or - as the last resort - trashing. Here's a list of 116 types of items that will consume you approximately four months to dispose of:
