Spring has officially sprung, and that means marking the change of season with a good ol' home turnout
MEGAN PAULSE
Operation Clean-Up

It's the time of year that is synonymous with renewal and revival. It's the time that we shake off the winter blues and start getting ready for the warmer months ahead. It's when people welcome the start of a new season some with a Spring Dip on 1 September, but many more with a spring clean of their home. If you're keen on doing the latter, we've got you covered on the areas that you should be tackling...

Tackle your wardrobe Simply put, holding onto clothing that you no longer wear or need is taking up space in your wardrobe as well as fighting against the clutter that you are trying to get rid of. Taking the time to organise this space can be a win-win situation as the items you no longer wear can be upcycled, recycled or donated to those in need (should the clothing be in good enough condition). If your bank balance needs a bit of a boost, you could even sell the items online.
