Keeping your home clutter-free doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. One of the easiest ways to simplify your space is by decluttering seasonally and donating clothing you no longer wear. If you're in the Tampa Bay area, you can even schedule a free clothing donation pickup through SJCH Pickup and support a local cause without ever leaving your home.
Here’s a simple, season-by-season guide for what to donate and when.
Spring: Clear Out the Heavy Layers
Tampa may not get harsh winters, but many people still store jackets, sweaters, and boots just in case. Spring is the perfect time to let go of items that didn’t get worn during the colder months.
Donate in spring:
Coats and jackets
Cold-weather accessories like hats and scarves
Holiday-themed clothing
Clothes that no longer fit your spring lifestyle
Spring cleaning in Tampa isn’t just about wiping surfaces — it’s also about making space in your closet for the warmer months ahead.
Summer: Simplify and Downsize
In Tampa Bay, summer means long, hot days and frequent outfit changes. If you find yourself skipping over certain items, it’s a good sign they’re ready to be donated.
Donate in summer:
Swimsuits that no longer fit
Unused beachwear and flip-flops
Lightweight tops and shorts you don’t reach for
Outgrown children’s summer clothing
Decluttering in summer is a great way to pass on items someone else can still use this season.
Fall: Transition Your Wardrobe
As temperatures (slightly) drop in the Tampa area, it's time to assess your wardrobe and let go of items you’re done with.
Donate in fall:
Light jackets and pullovers
Old backpacks and school clothes
Summer items you didn’t wear
Fall fashion trends from past years you’ve moved on from
A fall closet reset helps make room for the holidays and cooler-weather pieces you'll actually wear.
Winter: Declutter Before the New Year
The end of the year is a great time to reflect, reset, and give back. Donating clothing during the winter months can help local families and support children in need through St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital.
Donate in winter:
Sweaters, hoodies, and long sleeves
Holiday outfits you won’t reuse
Gloves, beanies, and scarves
Extra layers that go untouched
Tampa Bay may not see snow, but your warm clothing donations can still make a big difference.
