要搬家（回國）了，滿滿的衣服和書怎麼辦？ What to Do with All the Clothes and Books before moving?

搬家或是回國前，免不了要一陣整理和斷捨離，

雖然每個人喜歡的東西不同，

但都幾乎會有兩項想處理掉但不太知道怎麼處理的物品－書籍和衣服

除了分送給親朋好友或是直接丟掉，

還有什麼處理方式呢？

一、紙本書籍：

方法一：透過TAZZE賣二手書 https://www.taaze.tw/sell_used_books.html

1. 將乾淨的書籍整理好

2. 在TAZZE的網站上輸入要販售的書籍資訊（ISBN、書名、自訂售價金額）

3. 透過便利商店將書籍寄至TAZZE的收件地址

4. 等待書籍賣出，入帳至TAZZE的帳戶內

5. 可以用TAZZE帳戶內的錢再買其他想看的書籍(也可以把錢領出來到本人的台灣銀行帳戶）

可能有人會覺得花了很多時間和力氣處理這件事，我個人是平常就會將不再看的書集中放在一處，待收集到一定數量時，一次整理寄出。

下次想要買書時，確定沒有電子書版本的話，就會上TAZZE找找看有沒有，可以用先前賣書的收入買下當時想看的書。

如果把書直接丟掉就什麼都沒有了，多幾個步驟的話可以省下未來買書的錢，我是這樣想的🙂

分享一些我之前賣過的書的畫面：

看起來錢真的很少XD但我不少課本都是用這些賣書的錢買的：）

二、衣服

方法一：拿去舊衣回收箱，把衣服捐給需要的人

可以從這個網站找到哪裡有舊衣回收箱

舉例來說，如果要找台北市文山區附近的舊衣回收箱，可以點選「臺北市」、「文山區」、「舊衣回收箱」、「舊衣類」，即可以從地圖上看到哪些點設置舊衣回收箱，也可以從旁邊找到舊衣回收箱的地址

方法二：拿去 2nd STREET 賣

https://2ndstreet.com.tw/shop/

1.把衣物整理好裝袋

2.帶著自己的身分證（外國人居留證ARC） 把衣物拿到離自己最近的店家

3.把衣物交給店家並等待店家檢查及估價

4.拿回收據及$$

「許多對當地人來說輕而易舉的事，對外國人來說可能連該下什麼關鍵字都不知道」這大概是每一位在海外生活的人的共同心聲

希望這篇文章能給在台灣生活的你一點線索，

希望你的台灣生活都順利！

# Moving Back Home: What to Do with All the Clothes and Books?

Before moving back to your home country, it's inevitable to go through a period of organizing and decluttering. Although everyone has different preferences, two common items that people often want to get rid of but don't know how to handle are books and clothes.

Besides giving them away to friends and family or simply throwing them out, what else can we do?

### 1. Physical Books:

**Option 1: Sell Used Books via TAZZE**

[TAZZE - Sell Used Books](https://www.taaze.tw/sell_used_books.html)

1. Gather your clean books.

2. Enter the book information (ISBN, title, and your chosen sale price) on TAZZE’s website.

3. Send the books to TAZZE’s receiving address through a convenience store.

4. Wait for the books to sell, and the earnings will be credited to your TAZZE account.

5. You can use the money in your TAZZE account to buy other books you want to read (or withdraw the money to your bank account in Taiwan).

You may feel that this process takes time and effort, but I usually collect books I no longer read in one place and then send them out once I've gathered amount.

When I want to buy a book and there’s no e-book version available, I’ll check TAZZE to see if I can use the earnings from previous sales to purchase the book I want. If you just throw the books away, you get nothing. By taking a few extra steps, you can save money for future book purchases. That’s how I see it. 🙂

Here are some books I've sold before:

The money might seem small, XD but I bought quite a few textbooks using the money from selling these books. :)

### 2. Clothes

**Option 1: Donate Clothes to a Recycling Bin**

You can donate your clothes to those in need by dropping them off at a clothing recycling bin. You can use this website to find where recycling bins are located:

For example, if you want to find a recycling bin near Wenshan District in Taipei City, select “Taipei City,” “Wenshan District,” “Clothing Recycling Bin,” and “Clothing” to see the locations of recycling bins on the map. You can also find the addresses of the bins on the side.

**Option 2: Sell to 2nd STREET**

[2nd STREET Store Locator](https://2ndstreet.com.tw/shop/)

1. Organize your clothes and pack them up.

2. Bring your ID (Alien Resident Certificate, ARC) and take the clothes to the nearest store.

3. Hand over the clothes to the staff and wait for them to inspect and appraise them.

4. Receive a receipt and cash.

"Many things that are easy for locals can be quite challenging for foreigners who may not even know what keywords to search for." This sentiment is likely shared by everyone living abroad.

I hope this article provides some clues for those living in Taiwan and wish you the best in your time here!
