Big nod on the jewelry. I'm thinking of stuff I really couldn't sell, here, but stuff that might be donatable or freecyclable.

I don't know if we WOULD move to a smaller house if we had less schtuff, but right now, we sure won't. :-( I regularly buy storage units and even furniture to try to hide the clutter better, so that's a cost. It also costs me time, tidying and looking for stuff, and the emotional drain of being in a place I find ugly. (I still haven't stopped kicking myself for being affected by the visual impact of my surroundings, but at least I'm starting to do something about it.)

I think that recycling is a reasonable fate for things that can be recycled.

I'm glad more and more things fall into that category.
