## Having a pre-Christmas sort out?

### Leading up to Christmas, many of us will be wondering where the next influx of toys, clothes and gifts will fit. 

If you're having a de-clutter then consider some of the more ethical ways of getting rid rather than chucking them in the bin

Donate unwanted children’s books and toys to a local kids’ charity, offer them to your children’s school or simply take them to a charity shop.

Whether you re-gift or recycle, donate or dispose, think carefully about whether your items could have a second life before you simply throw them away.
