4. The first thing I ever sewed--a pillow for myself and my dolls(?)

All of this I will attempt to sell on eBay if possible. If not, there are tons of toy donation centers that I’m sure would love AGD/off-brand stuff.

Amendment 1

Make sure everything is disposed of properly. The goal isn’t simply to “throw away” 10 things a day, but make sure they are going to the right places for continuing their lifecycle.

Todays finds include:

1. 2 quart containers of chalkboard paint

2. 1 bluetooth keyboard and tablet stand

3. lap laptop stand

4. MSR fuel pump (unused)

5. 2x Sunglasses

6. Makeup brush

7. Earrings

8. MSR superfuel (opened/partially used)

9. Paint Palette

10. Puma Sneakers

Disposal will be different for some of these products.

I’m going to try and sell the CDs, MSR Fuel Pump, and bluetooth keyboard on eBay (my first time selling via eBay).

The fuel I think I can take to REI and they can help me with proper disposal.

Shoes, earrings, laptop stand, paint palette, and sunglasses will go to Matthew 25 or some other donation center.

The paint is latex so it just needs to be dried and then recycled.

The makeup brush is the only thing I have to throw away. The handle is made of grey REN foam, and at that scale, it’s not possible to get disposed of properly.
