to throw damaged items away, or to donate?

[elephanbee]

DP does not like to.throw anything away. So much so, our attic has been made into a storage space, as there is so much clutter!
We had squirrels in the attic previously. I took all of the contents out of the attic prior to work being done, disinfected them, and kept what I think we could. the rest for recycling, or to take to the tip.
DP has gone through everything, and decided most cannot be disposed of. Think squirrel chewed cot frame, or dolls house for example.
He said that for people who have little, these could be worked upon into a usable item.
I'm not sure if this would be possible, I wouldn't usually have donated an item in an unusable condition (apart from material banks).
If there is anywhere that could make use of the items however I'm happy to donate, if anyone aware of such companies? I have a feeling these will be in my house for years, AIBU to throw them away?

My DH runs a charity shop and believe me something like that wouldn't be sold

Obviously, but I think making your broken tat someone else's to dispose of is not on.

So from his reaction, its definitely a hoarding issue. I'd read up on it, it's complex I believe, can be related to anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD. Sorry {sad}
