you can give the cell phones to a recycling place that gives money to charity for everyone they get (at least i think it works like that!!) i would keep no.11 cause that could come in handy but other than that bin them or recycle them!!!
have fun cleaning!!

if you plan on having kids you may want to keep the mcdonalds toys. and if you plan on selling the music boxes ever it would be nice to have the boxes. some of the stuff could be used for crafts ie scrapbooking. but you might want to get rid of whatever was broken and donate whatever else is left that you dont want. you could donate it to a local church or scout troop.

the things that dont matter to you but are worth something you can sell at a yardsale or sell on line at places like ebay or your area craigslist. try selling your electronics with no warranty for like 5 bucks at the yard sale and have a little money to help buy new electronics you can check out this website Call2Recycle and give your old cell phones or check out the place you bought the phone from. Verizon stores often have cell phone drop boxes. If it doesnt work, its edible and old or you dont use of think about in a week throw it away. As far as sentimental things you can take a picture of them put them in a scrap book and throw away or put in a box in storage that way you can have the space and use the scrap book to look at them often. try donating the books to a local mormon shelter, church or library.

throw the candy away-it’s probably not even good anymore. Throw away all those empty boxes, you should only keep them for like 2 months after you buy stuff or at most until the warranty runs out, throw away the waterfall (if it doesn’t work, why have it?), if you have a bin or drawer to keep the happy meal toys in for your kids then put them in there, if not i’d just get rid of them, unless if the party favors hold some kind of special meaning to you, i’d throw them away, throw away pens, cell phones you can donate here’s more info http://wirelessrecycling.com/home/donati… , unless you want to read those books I would give them to a donation center, definitely throw away old calenders, and I would throw away all the wrapping paper but keep the gift bags because you can reuse them.
All of this stuff is really simple: if you need it/have a use for it/it holds (very special) meaning then keep it
If not: TOSS IT, or at least find a place to put it where no one will see it (under the bed?) hehe

What you need is 3 boxes
1 , I love it & want to keep it.
2, it´s of no value, & of no use to anyone, so chuck it out.
3, It´s still in good condition, & I have to use for it, but I can give it to someone who might need it,so take it to the charity shop. This is the way to declutter

1. No way
2. Nope… if you move, you can pack them in other boxes.
3. Nope
4. Why?
5. Depends on the toy… if my kids like it, I might keep some of them
6. Nope. Take a picture if there is something really sentimental and make a scrapbook page or something.
7. Well, it is always good to keep a FEW pens on hand… but not too many.
8. Old cell phones can be donated to some shelters for abused women. Look around in your area or online for ideas of where to donate them. I don’t keep mine.
9. Well, send them back then.
10. Nope.
11. Again, take a sample of it or a picture and make a scrapbook page.
I have learned from moving a lot in the last few years that a lot of the things that we think we need are actually garbage! It is hard sometimes, but get rid of the clutter!!
