Dealing with junk before a garage organization

Garage organization is all about taking your garage compartment and giving it a fresher, more spacious adjustment. However, since garages hold a lot of junk, it is important for you to work through them first:

Take everything out

The first and perhaps most important thing with a garage organization is taking everything out. Remove all of the sweaty sports gear and take out all of the holiday decorations that only get used once a year. A lot of these things get dumped in the garage, and your garage organization won’t be complete without keeping them out for a bit.
As you empty the garage, try to create spaces for everything.

Choose what can stay and what can't

You will also need to go through all the pipes of items that you just carried out and look into the things that need to stay and what you can easily do without. To ensure that this step works effectively, you will need to look at your classification system beforehand.
A simple way to classify items is by looking into what has been used in the past year. If an item has been used within that tie, then you can choose to keep it. If it hasn’t, then there is a high probability that you don’t need it anymore. As for those items that you aren’t sure about, you might want to keep them and just mark them whenever you make use of them.
If you do this every 6 to 12 months, you will be able to keep the momentum and garage organization goals consistently.

Clean the toss pile up

When you have the pile of items that you don’t want to save, it is important for you to still put those items into categories, not everything needs to be thrown in the trash right away, so be careful.
Generally, the following categories are prominent:

Donating: If you have any items that you want to give to your friends or a local charity, then get a box and pile those up. Also, make sure that you can whoever you want to give and ensure that they have the capacity to receive it.

Selling: If you have way too much extra stuff around that you don’t need anymore, the standard procedure is to organize a garage sale. However, if you feel that the entire sale will just add more stress to the process of getting a garage organization company, then you could try listing them on sites such as Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Regardless, you get to make some extra cash, while also getting rid of a lot of items.

Throwing away: The last category is for those items which are damaged beyond repair and which won’t make for proper donations or fetch you any money. It might be a tad difficult to throw away a lot of these things, but if no one is sing them for anything tossing them in the trash is usually the best option.
