Using Estate Sales to Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse
When a relative dies, an unavoidable part of the grieving
process is figuring out how to dispose of their belongings. An estate sale is not
only a smart way to sort through items left behind in an inheritance, but is
also the perfect opportunity to practice environmental awareness and
incorporate the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle.
Lucky
Rabbit Estate Sales co-owner, Paul J. Dunn, was recently featured in the New
York Times after he consulted with an estate sale that attracted about 300
people. One reason for the company’s success with estate sales is its approach
to utilize a social media marketing strategy that is second to none among its
competitors. Dunn’s advice to families going through this difficult process is
to consult with a professional before making a decision about how to dispose of
the deceased’s possessions. Here’s how an estate sale can help you to help the
environment.
Reduce
An estate sale is a great way to reduce clutter and find new
homes for items that you either have no use for or don’t have space in your
home to accommodate. You could earn cash from selling these items to a
collectors or curious buyers who are looking for unique or rare pieces to add
to their personal collection.
Recycle
Recycling is another way to breathe new life into old
possessions. Many estate sale buyers are looking for collectibles and rare
memorabilia. However, large items like furniture are also a great find that can
easily be recycled by adding a new finish or converting it for a different
purpose.
Reuse
With a little imagination, many items found at estate sales
can be repurposed and reused. For example, paint and craft supplies can turn
old jars into eye-catching decorative pieces. Many people are also looking for
vintage clothing and estate sales can offer up some really great finds.
Whether for sentimental value or just to grow their
collections, many people are attracted to estate sales for the sheer diversity
of items available. Rather than throwing the possessions into the trash, why
not consult with an estate sale professional to see the value that lies in them.
