Dalton Hosts Decluttering, Hoarding Programs

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Although spring has long come and gone, that does not mean decluttering has to wait until next year. 
 
The town will soon offer programming to help residents of Dalton and the surrounding areas declutter their homes. 
 
These are great programs, the town's Health Agent Health Agent Agnes Witkowski said. 
 
On Thursday, Sept. 19, there will be a decluttering workshop at the Dalton Free Public Library. During the workshop, former teacher Jane Kavanau will demonstrate seven techniques to tackle clutter and stay organized.

"She believes that each person and situation is different, requiring that organizing strategies be flexible and simple — definitely not "one size fits all."
