Cashback mountain

Make cash from decluttering your piles of stuff and help out planet at the same time

A £10billion clutter mountain is swamping homes, with people forking out huge sums for storage facilities, garages and even bigger houses to fit it all in.

But an ITV Tonight investigation, Keep, Chuck or Cash-In? The Big Clear Out, has identified 10 phones, tablets and computer games that, if sold in working order, could make owners between £2,165 and £2,900.

And with the average household hoarding more than 50 unwanted items, people can turn even more unused goods into cash.

With 64% of us admitting our homes need a clear-out, professional organiser Dilly Carter tells the Mirror: "Our relationship with our space affects everything. The other part of decluttering is what we responsibly do with our stuff - where it goes to live another life after we're finished with it.
