What everyone has at home, but really does not need

There is a mess that clearly gets in the way: junk mail stacked on the counter, toys with missing or broken parts, duplicate kitchen tools that are never used.

In addition, there are things that seem important or that are not as easy to get rid of as, say, toss them in the trash can. These things sit in our homes and take up valuable space in our boxes and in our minds when we encounter them.

One of the biggest problems

I bet we can bet that one such problem is collecting excess cords, chargers and accessories for devices we no longer use, as well as the devices themselves.

At this very moment I have Micro SD cards (I don't even know what they originally went for), tips for replacing stylus for an outdated phone (RIP Galaxy Note), a bunch of never-opening headphones and a tangle of wires in basket.

It's time to get rid of the electronic clutter:
Collect all your unwanted cords and obsolete devices throughout your home and get ready to deal with them.

First things first: You definitely need to make sure you are holding onto the charging cables and accessories for your current devices. Place them in a place where you can easily reach them when you need them.

Next, you need to decide whether to keep any of your old devices for practical reasons. For example, we keep a pair of old phones for our older kids to play when we fly, along with chargers for them and a set of headphones for each child.

How to Dispose of Old Electronics and Cords:

We know we can't just throw our electronics away, and we vaguely know we should take them to some kind of special place, but we never seem to take the next step to figure out where we can opt out of our electronic throws.

It ends now. One easy solution is to find a local store that sells electronic devices and see if they have a recycling kiosk

Removing e-waste from your home, then organizing and storing only the cables and accessories you really need needed, will greatly simplify your electronics collection and save you from wondering what in the world all these cables are connected to in any case.
