RESOURCES
Every home and situation is different. These resources are ones I share with clients who want additional guidance, whether they’re exploring donation options, navigating a life transition, or looking to understand their relationship with clutter. Use what’s helpful, leave what isn’t, and know you never have to go through this alone.
RESPONSIBLE DONATION & DISPOSAL
Thoughtful rehoming is a core of my work. If you prefer to handle donations or recycling yourself, these links can help you make informed choices.
Denver Reuse Directory - a comprehensive guide to local donation and recycling options
Eco-Cycle/CHaRM - hard-to-recycle materials
Textile & Clothing Recycling - also at USAgain boxes outside of Habitat for Humanity ReStore locations, as or an add-on to Ridwell subscriptions.
Shoe Donation - also available at Soles4Souls
UNDERSTANDING CLUTTER, CHRONIC DISORGANIZATION, & HOARDING
Sometimes clutter is more than just stuff. These tools offer insight, compassion, and structure for those navigating emotional or longstanding challenges with belongings, or family members with those struggles.
Clutter-Hoarding Scale - by the Institute for Challenging Disorganization, also available as a visual scale by the International OCD Foundation
Buried in Treasures - a workbook with practical strategies for reducing overwhelming clutter
Digging Out - guidance for supporting loved ones who struggle with hoarding
Stuff - support for individuals supporting loved ones who may struggle with hoarding behaviors, and understanding the challenging of hoarding disorder
How to Keep House While Drowning - repeat after me, messiness and disorganization is not a moral failing
Note: These are resources, not diagnoses. You’re welcome here no matter your situation. If you are feeling that you may struggle with hoarding disorder, a mental health professional specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may be a good starting point.
LIFE TRANSITIONS: MOVING, DOWNSIZING, CHANGING SEASONS
Whether you’re preparing for a move, rightsizing your home, or navigating a major change, these links can make the process smoother.
NASSM Directory - senior move management resources
USPS Address Change
CO DMV Change of Address

HELPFUL TOOLS & STARTER PRODUCT CATEGORIES
A few reliable categories to simplify your organizing efforts
Latch-top storage bins
Drawer organizers
Turntables/lazy Susans
Clear pantry canisters
Closet basics (slim hangers, shelf dividers)
Labels & simple labeling systems
I avoid listing specific products because inventory changes frequently and the “best” product depends on your home - but these categories are a great start.
SAFETY & HOME HEALTH RESOURCES
A handful of trusted references for clients navigating environmental or health-related concerns in their spaces.
NFPA Fire Safety & Clutter Guidelines - if you or a loved one struggle with hoarding disorder or chronic disorganization, our top priority is harm reduction. This means ensuring emergency personnel can enter the home if an emergency occurs, limiting fire hazards such as loose paper and flammable materials near heat sources, clearing emergency egress, and confirming function of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
COMMUNITY & EVERDAY SUPPORT
A few additional links clients find useful when getting started.
Colorado 211 - community resources for special needs
Animal Shelters - accept bedding, pet carriers, and more
