The mantra “buy once, buy well” never feels more relevant than when you’re faced with mounting piles of household clutter. It’s hard to know what to do with things that might not be worth fixing (thanks to this era of built-in-obsolescence), can’t really be donated (remember the rule: if you wouldn’t give it to a friend, it shouldn’t go to charity) and don’t belong in household bins.
Decluttering can be even more difficult given that each state in Australia has different laws dictating what waste is allowed to go where. For example, electronic waste is banned from landfill in the Australian Capital Territory, South Australia and Victoria.
