Organizing After Halloween

Are you wondering what to do with all the Halloween stuff?  The candy is easy.  Send what no one likes off to work, put the chocolates in the refrigerator and place the remaining in a bowl to be available for anyone wanting to take one.  This can be at home or work.

The remaining items are not so easy.  To eliminate clutter, see if any of the costume pieces and decorations can be recycled for the remaining fall decor.  If not, save only those things that will be in great shape next year.  Place those in a labeled container and store out of site.  A garage shelf, attic or basement area is the best place. 

The best organizing recommendation is to avoid owning too many decorative things that can become clutter.  Avoid purchasing items that cannot be transformed into a suitable use throughout many seasons.  Recycling is good for the environment, the pocketbook and effective organizing.
