One of the best ways to clean out your home and make sure it is good for the environment is to Recycle, Shred and Donate. IKEA is offering the community the opportunity to donate and recycle books, computers, furniture and clothes and bring documents for FREE shredding courtesy of the support of Southern Shred. Friends of the Houston Public Library, Houston Computer Recycling, Houston Furniture Bank and Salvation Army will be onsite to collect your used goods.

Here's a video to help you get started as you clean out and organize your closet and create a stack of donation worthy items to benefit Houston area families.
