After thinking about it, my unit of measure is going to be 'bags'. Not the really big bags, but grocery bags like the old paper ones that hold about 3-4 gallons of stuff. Kitty litter bags, or large cat food bags. Not totally accurate of course, but I don't want to get too distracted - some will be larger, others smaller, plus bulky stuff not in bags.
We had a special trash pick up after the holidays. Ours was Jan 2. I was able to fill to about 80 percent a 95 gallon bin with items out. Some was bulky stuff. But since it was in 2019, and this is a total for the year, I will add 6 bags to my total from that pickup, though volume-wise it was more. But it's a good base to start from.
Today is the second pick-up of the year. I filled my can plus part of the neighbors. By count, 5 in his, by guess, 5 in mine. Also, two bags of stuff into the donate pile.
Total: 6 bags on Jan 2 10 bags today 2 donate
Total sm to medium bags out for 2019 - '18'
The trash man is just collecting now - I still feel a pang by discarding stuff that will only make life better. So it goes...

Well, as usual, I am late to the parade and I may give up (or forget I am counting) before the end of the year, but this morning, I tossed a HUGE pile of clothing on the floor. My roommate is going to go through it and see if she or her daughter can use part of it, but the rest is going to the donation station. It's been a long time since I had a reasonable closet area. Next up on my purge list are my drawers, they are a muddled conglomeration of chaos. Probably half of what is in them can be toss out. I will count as I bag up and toss or donate.
After clothes, the next thing on the to go list is books and then the kitchen. I hope I actually remember to count.

Di, As long as the stuff goes out, that’s all that matters. You’re doing great. If counting bogs you down, just mention the items, or just estimate. Anything goes!
