Simple Steps to Organizing - The Wires

So what is going on with the tech situation in your home? Do you have a drawer or a bin filled with cords? Do you keep them because you are fearful you might need one of them but you also don't know what they charge? Between you and me, this is my least favorite thing to organize. My immediate reaction is to just dump it all in the trash. But instead, let's just jump in.




Disposing of the Cords and the Devices…

The Cords

• Detangle all the cords.
• Match up the cord to the device.
• Every cord that does not have a device, get rid of it.

The Devices

• Gather all your old cell phones that you don't use.
• Reset the phone to erase your data. 
• Donate that old phone.

Where to Dispose

E-Waste  - Whole Foods will take your e-waste and dispose of it properly
Cell Phones - Donate to a local charity that support your favorite choices


Storage of the Items You Keep

• Place each cord you keep in a sandwich bag and on the outside of the bag clearly market the device the cord charges.
• If you have several cords, get a plastic shoe container that hangs on a door and in each pocket put the cord and mark the pocket with info on the what the cord charges.
