The best way to look at it is whomever the stuff belonged to, they go ttheir enjoyment out of it, the money is spent, it was entertainment/joy for them, it's over and done. I have zero interest in spending 1 second selling a ton (or in this case 6 tons) of "stuff" online. I urge everyone that has kids and a house full of stuff to get rid of it now as best they can. My father passed away on august 13th and I've spent every weekend since sorting through family stuff dating back to the early 1900's.... it's mentally and physically draining. Oh, and all of this while working 12 hour days, to you know, keep my job lol |

me neither. i'm a minimalist. he was a collector. When he was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2019 I enlisted the help of my cousin and we boxed up 12 tubs of nick-nacks around the house to cut down on dust collection and i told my father that he could have 1 "thing" per horizontal surface. If he got bored looking at it he could rotate it with the boxed ones in the tubs in the garage.

MIL has boxes upon boxes and drawers stuffed with papers, newspapers, paperwork and god only know what else. Something important will be thrown out unfortunately as we will never be able to sort thru everything. Two people i their late 70s do not need 48 bath towel i told her so we boxed most up and she had a fit so I gave up. That's the last I try and help told them. Frankly I plan on avoiding their house when they pass and want of nothing they have. The wife will have a fit I'm sure when I decline to sort through all that stuff. |

And for those of you who don't have an appreciation for what a 20yard dumpster looks like: 1 empty 1 full. I filled 3 of these, each with 2-3 tons of stuff. |

A gas can and a match would've worked to.
