Give it away while it still works
Not when you have finished with it and it is nearly dead. Now, while somebody would actually want it.

Why it lands
Most households hold onto things well past the point of using them and release them only once they are worn out, at which point nobody wants them and they go to landfill anyway. The useful moment to pass a thing on is while it is still good — which requires admitting you are not going to use it, and that admission is the actual obstacle. A working thing given away replaces something somebody would otherwise have bought new.
How
Pick one thing you have not used in a year and would not buy again. Give it away locally — a giveaway group, a charity shop that takes that category, or a neighbor who mentioned wanting one. Do it this week, not when you next tidy, because that is the decision that keeps not getting made.
Answer if you want. It changes which ideas are shown first.
