[quote=Anonymous]The Stuff really piled up while my 2nd was a toddler because people have him things but we had hand me does from the older sibling too. Now that he has grown out of baby toys and things we donate on Buy Nothing. Torn, stained clothes go to textile recycling. Broken toys have batteries removed and then trash - batteries are recycled. Puzzles and games with missing pieces are offered up on Buy Nothing for families missing different pieces - then trashed if no takers. My kids have a basket where they keep all their Happy Meal toys and party favors. When it is full, I ask them to pick a few to toss in the trash. If your kids are still little, the best way to minimize clutter is to nudge family to gift toys that build on each h other - wooden trains, duplo/Lego, Magnatiles, marble run. We have many sets of a few things and it makes it easy to keep toys organized in bins and tubs. [/quote]
