Weekend Project: Garage Clean Out

Perhaps it’s high time again that you clean out your garage and empty it from all the garbage, broken furniture and other kinds of trash. Cleaning out your very own garage will help you optimize some space and give your home some space for more important storage. The garage is often considered as the ‘catch all room’ for many homeowners and their families. It houses the automobile, and other gadgets for recreational activities such as all terrain vehicles, jet skis, holiday decorations, basketballs, bicycles, past tax paperwork and so much more. The garage is often stuffed up with a lot of things with just limited space.

Planning a junk removal weekend for your garage will help you declutter and throw away all the garbage that you have been storing all these years. For a major garage cleaning project, you can always hire roll off containers and a dumpster rental for proper disposal. Each state is governed by guidelines regarding waste management so it would be helpful if you seek for professional help when hauling all that garbage.

Here are easy tips for you to get the most out of your garage space.
Sort furniture, gadgets, and other things out. With the help of your male household members or friends, start hauling out all the garbage inside your garage and segregate it into four piles namely donate, keep, sell and throw. By placing it on the driveway all at once, you are obliged to accomplish the task as soon as you can.

Get rid of all that junk. As soon as you have sorted all things out, throw away all the things that you don’t need. There is no reason for you to drag them back to the garage. Don’t procrastinate and dump it as soon as you can. Arrange for a junk removal company to get rid of all the junk the same day you are sorting garbage out.

Label your things. Label the stuff you would want for a garage sale. Ask your neighbors to come over after piling up all the things that you are ready to let go for a price.

Organize the things that you have left behind. Group similar things together like camping gear, barbeque stuffs, tools, sports equipments, holiday decorations, party lights and etc. Use bins for stacking big items and properly label them.
Make the most out of your garage ceiling. A ceiling storage rack is a great alternative to stacking bins. Hanging racks are handy for bicycles and other sports equipments.
