If all this “staying at home” business has motivated you to do some serious decluttering, join the club.
As the pandemic has largely forced us to stay in, many of us have realized we want our stuff out. We want to live and work in clean, organized spaces. (And we may have binge-watched Tidying Up with Marie Kondo on Netflix.)
Whatever your reason for decluttering, you’re probably wondering where to take all your old stuff.
We’ve compiled some of the best places to take your unwanted items in Sioux Falls, depending on whether you’re disposing, recycling, or donating.
