I’ve never been a hoarder. Clutter irritates me no end and I hate having a pile of things laying around in case I need them “one day” so I’m probably pretty far out from Marie Kondo’s ideal candidate for her methods. I love a good declutter and I think the roll-off dumpster cost or fee … [Read more…]
