■ The Reality of Disposing of Unwanted Items: It Doesn't End with Just "Throwing Away" Moving, redecorating, spring cleaning. At every turning point in life, the task of "disposing of unwanted items" invariably accompanies it. However, when you actually try to dispose of them, you often find yourself unsure of what to do, such as how to carry out large furniture, whether to sell books and games, or if you should just throw them away.
