M.C.
Gosh, can I relate!!
One way that I have gotten rid of things is www.freecycle.org or if you want to make a little $$ go to www.cheapcycle.org
I hope you find these helpful.
In addition, if you have lots of photos to organize, Creative Memories has their Power Sort Boxes on sale for 40% off! You can view the Power Sort Boxes at www.mycmsite.com/marycluley
Craigslist is one more way to get rid of things, but one must be careful with regards to that.
Blessings!
