From time to time it seems that we have accumulated more stuff than we have a place to store, but we hesitate to throw things away or to call them junk by putting them in a yard sale. SO, what do we do with all that stuff?!

Seminar leader Nancy Adams has some ideas for you! In 90 minutes, she'll share information about places that will take our once-valued treasures. Some will pay you cash, and others will simply accept your donations for a tax deduction or re-purposing.

You'll learn:

• How to determine what is trash and what is treasure
• Which items are sellable for cash
• Where to put your items up for sale
• Who wants your donated or sellable items
• Rules for tax deductions
• How to dispose of hazardous materials
• More

If you have items that need a new home, please join us for this informative 90-minute session that will help keep items out of our landfill and may give someone else just what they've always wanted. You can turn that "trash" into treasure!
