Have you ever had a good clear-out and then got stuck with boxes and bags of items that sit by the front door and don’t quite make it out of the house? Or perhaps you want to let go of specific items, and you don’t want to put it in the bin where it will add to landfill, but you’re not sure what to do with it?
Here is a handy list of Space Creators' favourite places to donate and recycle in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Tip: Booking and scheduling a trip to the recycling centre or charity shop, as part of your decluttering process, is a guaranteed way to get all those items out of your way so you can enjoy the space you’ve created!
