Welcome to the recycling tag page at Tidymalism, a blog about home organisation, decluttering, and living with less stuff. When it comes to combating clutter, a lot of blogs out there fail to address the importance of recycling responsibly.

This tag aims to fill that void. We look at the best options for getting rid of stuff like chemicals, textiles and e-waste. As firm believers in the circle economy, we also explore options to recycle by re-selling, gifting, or donating household items. Would you like to write a guest post about recycling as it relates to organising at home? Drop us a line via our Contact page!

From left to right we see a hand holding a white plastic trash bag, two hands cupping a small wrapped gift with a bow, and a cardboard box of clothing as a donation pile, with "Donate" written on it. The caption on the bottom left of the collage reads "Getting rid of stuff. Tidymalism"
