11 Things You Need to Throw Out This Spring

Towels lose their absorbency after two years, so get rid of those extra ones you have had forever. They don't even work very well!

Find out when your makeup expires and make sure to get rid of any old items. You don't want to rub bad cosmetics all over your face!

Go through your fridge and discard of any food that's expired or you know you'll never eat. Do the same in your pantry.

Whether you have notebooks from college or work piling up, it's time to throw them away. Sometimes it's hard to let go of all those notes, but they're just taking up space.

There's nothing more frustrating than a tangled mess of cords balled up in the corner of a box. Get rid of any that you haven't needed in a year.

If you can't remember the last time you changed your toothbrush, toss it! You should buy a new one every three months.

Wrapping paper just gets crinkled and torn the longer you keep it, and that makes presents look tacky. Recycle it and save some space!
