Hi, I’m Janet!

After working in the waste and recycling industry for most of my career, I have decided to focus not only on recycling, but on the other 3Rs:  REDUCE, REUSE, and REJUVENATE. Yes, rejuvenate is a new one.

Through Upside Downsizing, I give people a chance to respect their personal belongings without creating a burden on their families. I provide options on how to sort things, what to keep, where to donate, and how to sell unwanted items.

“Less is more” - my mom says. When I helped my mom downsize to get ready for a move to her retirement home, she took the things that gave her joy and the rest was donated, sold, and given to family members resulting in minimal disposal.   She is very happy with her new space.

I have always liked organizing things - drawers, events, dinner gatherings, sewing supplies, and many other things.  When downsizing and organizing, it is important to know what to put where and to know the various “end uses”.  Putting things in the right place, which includes recycling, is good for the community and the environment.  It is a responsible and sustainable business practice.  There really is no other way, and it is part of my core being.

Now that you know a little more about me, and my values and philosophies, I look forward to hearing from you.

Let’s rejuvenate your space together!
