Several times in the past month I have had to pause and think, "Do I give this away or just throw it away?" A pair of my son's jeans that had a slight rip in the leg I ended up giving away since that is often the style. The person who gets those could just add a few more slashes to the fabric and have designer jeans! A pair of leather dress shoes my husband had got thrown away. The soles could have been resoled, but the uppers were cracked and we didn't think anyone would be able to fix that.
Even if you're unsure, get those items out of the house. Don't save them until you decide! It's not the end of the world if Goodwill has to make rags out of something. Sending the item to the landfill is no different than not recycling cans. (Which we should do...) Just get it out of your house to simplify once again.
