Rewind 2023: Sustainable Decluttering (#276)

Welcome back to another episode of the Get Organised with Decluttr Me podcast! I'm Shelina, and today, we're taking a trip down memory lane with the top 4 episodes of 2023. First up is the number 4 episode - Sustainable Decluttering.

In this special episode, originally aired 22 July 2023, join me as I delve into the benefits of decluttering sustainably and provide valuable tips for responsible disposal, recycling, and upcycling. I'll shed light on the intersection between decluttering and sustainable living, offering insights that can help you make a positive impact on the environment.

Discover the numerous advantages of decluttering sustainably, such as reducing your environmental impact, saving money, and embracing a minimalist lifestyle. I'll highlight how sustainable decluttering can keep materials out of landfills and incinerators, ultimately minimizing your carbon footprint and improving air quality.

Learn practical tips for responsible disposal, recycling, and upcycling as I guide you through the process. I'll emphasize the importance of disposing of items responsibly, recycling materials whenever possible, and donating usable goods. We'll also delve into the art of upcycling, which involves transforming unwanted materials into new and useful objects, reducing waste, and giving new life to old possessions.

If you're ready to revisit this insightful episode and gain knowledge on how to declutter your home in a way that benefits the planet and your wallet, this rewind episode is for you. I'll provide advice on how to approach decluttering sustainably, from doing mini-declutters to setting goals and getting creative throughout the process.

As a bonus, I refer to the Fast Fashion episode, which you can find here.

Thanks for listening, as always!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Originally from the UK, Shelina has lived in Dubai for over 18 years, where she founded her home and office organising company DeCluttr Me.

Previously a solicitor, Shelina knew her heart was elsewhere. She never gave up on her dream of becoming a professional organiser and decided to take the leap, launching DeCluttr Me in 2013, the region’s first licenced, professional organising service. Shortly after, Shelina launched her highly successful DeCluttr Me podcast, now one of the top 20% of podcasts worldwide. In 2022, the total downloads increased to 41,800 from 29,600 in 2021. Her first book “Can You Find it in Five Seconds?” was a natural next step on her mission to helping people lead more relaxed, motivated, and productive lives – free of clutter!

2023 marks a decade in business for Shelina and she’s seen demand for decluttering increase significantly. Plus, she’s realised how the service goes beyond simply organising for many people. Having a large amount of clutter can also be a sign of mental health issues or someone struggling with their emotional well-being. Shelina helps many clients who are going through a difficult period, such as divorce and bereavement; often, dealing with an accumulation of possessions is one of the first steps they take on the journey to rebuilding their life.
