Garages are the type of space that can easily become messy with clutter and make it hard to locate possessions. A garage cleanout can be a daunting junk removal task but a clean, organized space is highly rewarding. At the end of the cleanout process you can have a space to park your car or a dedicated workspace for important projects. Here are some tips that will help make your next garage cleanout the easiest yet!
Planning for Your Garage Cleanout
Creating a plan for your garage cleanout can help you get started off on the right foot and make the process less stressful. Deciding how you’d like to use the garage after the cleanout is complete is an important place to start. Once you have a goal in mind it’s a good idea to mark off a few days on the calendar to complete the cleaning process in one go.
Sorting items during the cleaning process can keep it from getting overwhelming. Using these 3 categories often keeps things manageable.
- Keep: Items that are used regularly or have a clear purpose
- Donate: Items that are still in good condition but you no longer use
- Trash: Broken items or useless clutter that doesn’t serve a purpose
Organize for Maximum Space
Once you’ve finished with your garage cleanout, you can organize the space to fit your needs. By creating a functional organization system and prioritizing usable space, it will be easier to avoid future clutter.
Here are some tips that will help create usable space:
- Storage Solutions: Using shelves, cabinets, bins, or other storage options will give you a space for storage
- Labels: Clearly marking bins, shelves, cabinets, and other locations in the garage where items are stored will help you remember where to find them.
- Create Usage Zones: Creating different zones that can be used for different types of items is a good idea. One popular way to separate areas after a garage cleanout is to keep regularly used items like tools, pet supplies, and bikes in the front and seasonal and rarely used items can go in harder to reach areas.
Remove Junk Efficiently with a Dumpster Rental
Some garages have a lot of junk before a cleanout which might call for a dumpster rental.
