Clean Your Storage Spaces Ahead of Spring

Is your closet, basement or utility room crammed with extra stuff that you don’t need or want? Target these areas first as you begin your spring cleaning, says Reader’s Digest, and arrange a donation pickup — or multiple pickups — with ClothingDonations.org so that the junk can’t stick around. By the time it’s time to swap out sweaters and scarves for shorts and swimwear, you’ll have tons of closet space for the items you really want to keep in your wardrobe for next year — and you’ll have cleared the path for a serious springtime scrubdown of your space.
