Clutter Club class returns to Santa Fe College Community Education

The Clutter Club class returns to Santa Fe College Community Education program for Fall A term. Linda Richards will again teach the class 3 Tuesdays, beginning Aug. 31st from 7:30-8:30pm at the SFC Main NW Campus in Gainesville, Florida. Register online (using the keyword: organize) or call SFC Community Education at (352) 395-5193. Class will run 8/31; 9/14 & 9/28.

If you've ever noticed how you get more accomplished when others know about your goal and offer support, you'll want to come join us as class members share their difficulties in getting organized with clutter, paper, etc. (at home or work). We'll discuss how to set 1 realistic goal to work on between the 3 class sessions. Many have said the support of this class has helped them to do things they've been wanting to do for years!

I want to share some information. Santa Fe College has a very comprehensive list of where to recycle and where to donate just about everything, for the Gainesville area.

Recycling guide for Gainesville, Florida

An excellent recycling guide for Gainesville Florida is available online . With summer being the season that many people move and need to weed out excess ‘stuff’ in their home, many people ask me what to do with their unwanted items. I encourage my professional organizing clients to avoid tossing things into a trash can, even though that is so easy to do and usually their first impulse. Instead I suggest they take an extra minute to figure out the proper place to dispose of the item because things that are sent to the dump become a problem for the environment. Donating items that are in good condition to charity is a good first step. Other items, that are in poor condition and recyclable, should be disposed of properly. Gainesville, Florida has a very detailed, "A-Z" indexed, and easy to use recycling guide. If you live in another city or state search the Internet for your locale and you'll probably find a similar guide online.

Taking an extra minute to ponder where to properly dispose of your unwanted items can bless the lives of others who are currently needy in your community now and can also help the earth in the future.
