Decluttering your home can feel overwhelming—especially when you don’t know where to start. Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or just tired of the clutter, knowing what’s worth keeping, what could help someone else, and what simply needs to go can make the process less stressful and more rewarding.
At Ohio Junk Force, we’ve helped hundreds of Cleveland families and businesses clear space the smart way. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to keep, donate, sell, or junk—plus how to make it easier on yourself by letting our friendly crew handle the heavy lifting.
What to Keep: Items Worth Holding Onto
Not everything has to go! Some things genuinely earn their spot in your home.
Keep items that are:
- Truly useful – If you’ve used it in the past 6–12 months, it might stay.
- Sentimentally valuable – Think heirlooms, family photos, or your child’s first drawings.
- Costly to replace – High-ticket tools, quality furniture, or rare collectibles.
Pro tip: Store seasonal items (like holiday décor or camping gear) in labeled bins. If you’re short on space, consider off-site storage or reorganizing your attic or basement.

What to Donate: Give It New Life in Cleveland
If it’s clean, safe, and still usable—but not something you need—donate it.
Donation-friendly items include:
- Gently used furniture (chairs, couches, dressers)
- Working appliances
- Clothing, toys, or books in good condition
Local options include:
- Cleveland Furniture Bank
- Habitat for Humanity ReStore
- Goodwill or Salvation Army drop-off centers
At Ohio Junk Force, we don’t just haul things away—we try to donate what we can. We proudly support the Cleveland Furniture Bank, which distributes nearly 20,000 pieces of furniture annually to families in need.

What to Sell: Turn Clutter Into Cash
If it’s in good shape and has value, why not make a few bucks?
Sell items like:
- Lightly used electronics
- Furniture is in great condition
- Designer clothes or vintage collectibles
- Outdoor gear, tools, or baby items
Where to sell in Cleveland:
- Facebook Marketplace (great for fast local sales)
- Craigslist Cleveland
- OfferUp or Letgo
- Local consignment shops or flea markets
Tip: Take clear photos, write honest descriptions, and be prepared to negotiate. Just keep in mind—if it takes too long to sell or buyers are flaking out, it might not be worth the hassle.
Don’t want to deal with it? Ohio Junk Force can haul it away quickly and pain-free.
What to Junk: Let It Go for Good
Some things simply don’t belong in your house—or anyone else’s.
It’s time to junk if:
- It’s broken, outdated, or unsafe
- It’s infested or contaminated.
- It can’t be sold, donated, or recycled.
- It’s sat untouched for years and serves no purpose.
Junking items responsibly can be tricky—especially in Cleveland. You can’t just toss a refrigerator or mattress on the curb and hope for the best. Improper bulk disposal in Cleveland can result in citations or fines. Check your city’s guidelines here—or let Ohio Junk Force handle it right.
