Decluttering goes faster when you know where everything is headed. This is the list Jaimie uses with clients across Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati: trusted local and online options to help you get items out of your home and into the right hands. Declutter, donate, sell, recycle.
Small item removal is included with every Urge to Purge decluttering project, and donations leave with us the same day. Items with resale value can be sold on your behalf for a 50% commission. Here is where things usually go.

Not sure where something should go?
When in doubt, we’re happy to research the best option for you based on your items, your location, and your timeline. During a project we coordinate donation drop-offs and help prepare items for resale, so you do not have to make the trips yourself. If you are downsizing a whole house, our downsizing checklist walks through it room by room, or start a consultation and Jaimie will help you make a plan.
