Dads are the ultimate environmentalists. They save everything, they never throw anything away, and as a result they often need to have garages and workshops to store all that extra stuff. The attic is just bursting with suitcases of old clothes and boxes of magazines!
It's so difficult for Dads to throw things away and they are often so busy organizing their stacks of saved stuff that they never have a chance to get out of those old shirts and sweats. You can encourage him to see the good side of downsizing, gently, by replacing his favorite worn out shirts and sweats with new ones with his favorite sports team on it.
This is just the start to breaking the hoarding habit. Arrange a weekend to go through the attic, use an excuse like you are looking for an old yearbook or something. Who knows what treasure you might find up there. Apart from things for a garage or lawn sale, there are many items that we keep that could be sold on auction websites, or even in a specialist auction for collectors. Going to auctions is a great way to spend your free-time, and who knows, maybe your Dad would love a new hobby.
Everything from books, magazines, children's toys and old hand tools are collectors items, so encourage your Dad to part with just a few things that he wouldn't mind. All the extra cash he will make is a great gift. There are many companies out there that recycle old clothes, books, electrical items and household white goods and some even pay for items that can be refurbished. Charity organizations also take old clothes and furniture so it's a great way to gift to charity without making a monetary donation.
There are many environmentally friendly websites where people can give things away for free, such as Freecycle. It's a great way to find gifts for your family if you are on a budget and a great way for Dad to make more room in the garage for your recycled gifts.
