Papergrace, thank you for the year end reminder! I've been trying to report on a regular basis, but it seems I had a lot less paper to sort than I thought, so I didn't get as far as I thought I would. I'm still going to try to finish the year, though!
Start: 1,618
1 Food Item 9 Spices 1 empty bottle 1 mop cover 4 CD cases 14 newspaper sections 2 sheets of stickers 1 bag of paper clips 1 pen refill 2 jigsaw puzzles
Today's total: 36
Grand Total 1,654
Papergrace, how's the new apartment?

I honestly do not remember my count so I will start over at 1 and will remove 2015 items from my garage between December 26 to December 31. SN: Books will be staged for removal but will not be removed until end of January beginning of February as the recycling place that I take books to is moving to a new location and will not take books until then. I will count the books in the count, if need to get to 2015 otherwise they will go into 2016.
ONWARD

Cando, if you're taking BAGS of things out and counting it as one item, you're getting a lot out! Don't worry about the number, I'm only trying to get to 2015 because I'm so close, and I've been working at it all year. Diane

Thanks for posting this challenge for 2015. It's helped me a HUGE amount.
I didn't post often, but I DID keep track and I'm happy to report that I made the goal and then some!
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
