a little more green

House clean out for Austin Creative Reuse and Goodwill Central Texas. I did find the keyboard that was lost, and I found a whole bunch of other things. As I’ve mentioned it’s not new stuff. It’s just stuff that I’m seeing with new eyes and ready to move along. A lot of it’s craft and kiddo stuff that my son has aged out of and so there’s that. But yeah, just a lot of odds and ends that are completely reusable and re-homable so that’s why it’s going where it’s going!

Goodwill examples:

• Dog leashes and harnesses

• The last of the furry kids passed on three years ago. I hid them from my husband to process out of sight so he wouldn’t get worked up again, and I hid them so well I forgot about them…

• random cups from church that they won’t use

• textile recycling

• small plastic toys

• aged out toys like a view finder

• shirts I won’t fit in again and my boys won’t wear (let it go…)

Austin Creative Reuse examples:

• pipe cleaners

• brown paper bags for hand puppets

• bead necklaces

• So many come from school, I should have returned them to school to reuse.

• board games our neighbors don’t want

• felt and other fabric

• string

• collections from my porch bin from the neighbors like craft paint

There was more but I didn’t keep a list, sorry, and I can’t remember the rest. It was two containers for Goodwill and three shopping bags for ACR.
