Declutter Checklist

I love a good checklist. 
​
In August, we presented on the Sustainability Stage at the Minnesota State Fair. At the event, we handed out a declutter checklist to help attendees find items that can be donated. Several participants asked that we publish it, so we are!
There is also a printable version below.

​Happy decluttering :)
