New year, clear space: a room-by-room decluttering guide
Start 2026 with less clutter and more purpose. Our practical room-by-room guide helps you declutter and donate items to charity bins near you.
Pop into Vinnies Scarborough on Scarborough Beach Road if you want good secondhand finds with a friendly local vibe. This shop sits close to the beach and the buzzing Scarborough strip, so it is easy to combine a visit with a walk or coffee. The store at 3/160 Scarborough Beach Road has clothing, furniture, bric-a-brac, books and manchester, all sorted and priced by volunteers. Open most days from 9 am to 4 pm, Wednesday to Monday, it is closed on Sundays, so plan around that. There is street parking nearby and some short stay bays, and the staff can help load bigger items. Volunteers are warm and welcoming, and the shop feels like a community hub where people chat about local news. Browse for bargains, drop off donations, or pick up a treasure. Gift vouchers are available, and seasonal sales happen often. Every purchase helps Vinnies support people in need.
