Now that my grandfather has passed away, my grandmother has been moved into a home for people with degenerative memory. She loves it there and they love her.

Lots of places you can donate to will come and pick up, depending on the house's location.
But I know what you mean about too much useful stuff. My parents have at least 14 full or nearly full sets of dishes. Not to mention the books, art, pottery, etc. I am an only child. They are aging. I am going to be in need of some trustworthy auctioneers.

The parts that got thrown away were the partial pattern pieces, one off buttons in a shoe box full of other random parts, little scraps of things that would need to be sorted. Big jars of buttons got into the "to a good home pile" and old elastic got into the trash bag. My grandma has a lot of partial bottles of craft paint which are 99 cents at a store for a full bottle. To sort and transport a 1/4 of a bottle of mostly dried up paint wouldn't be worth much to anyone. Things that wouldn't be worth the drive to their house is going to have to go, but the rest is going to a good home.
