So... My parent's house is 40 years old.
I'm cleaning the corners... and my father as a DIY guy and a man that was never afraid to learn and update, there is so must useful junk, but also soooo many card boxes. He never throws them away, in case he needs to return the item.
So... I've been cleaning a 3 shelf open closet.
- have around 8 bags of cardboard, paper and newspappers for recycling.
- plus 2 bags of plastic.
- 4 bags filled with books for the local community center.
- a bag full of electronics to salvage.
And this only in 2 rows...
Man how could he store so much stuff in there I don't know, but this ends up being fun.
Also, one printer to salvage. :D
When it's over I get to own the shelf to store my stuff :D

    Looks like your dad's open closet is bigger than my apartment.

    @hell Yes, he's so tidy that I stored double space in stuff, one of the top of another.
    And this is just one closet because I already have to much stuff in my office and need to clean it up also...
    There were magazines with 20 years old... and so many school manuals. My mom worked at a school and always brought the leftovers instead of throwing them in the garbage. Since I now know there's a free library in the local community center I already have 3 bags full of useful books.
    Next: rest of the attic...
    Just waiting for a desoldering iron... have bags full of stuff to salvage and mess with :D

    Sounds a lot like my apartment, except I never sort those things out and end up throw cardboard boxes away after I started tinkering with the item the box contained (usually day 1).. like father, like son it seems with the tinkering though :D

    Yeah, I know that feeling. That's why I (usually) prefer to hire https://www.emop.co.uk/ cleaner to clean my parent's house. Sometimes we clean together but most of the time I hire a professional who does it better than we together.
