Keep a Donation Bag Ready

What do I do to keep items from cluttering my house?  I keep a donation bag ready at all times!  Under my table in my home office I keep a plastic tub lined with a large garbage bag ready to accept items as we come across them.  There are things I come across all the time that need to leave the house.  They may be small items like a book or fingernail polish  or they may come from a bigger closet clean-out like outgrown clothes from one of my kids. 

The great thing is we can do little clean-outs here and there around our house, it doesn’t have to be a huge project.  It can just be going through one drawer in the bathroom when the mood strikes.  But keeping this up on a regular basis keeps us passing things on to others and keeps our house clutter-free!
