Summer’s long days and nice weather make it the perfect time to clean out a cluttered garage. Many homeowners’ garages are overflowing with lawn care equipment, tools, automotive supplies, storage, and sports gear. Renting a dumpster and establishing a plan of attack will make your garage cleaning project efficient and simple.

A Guide to Organizing Your Garage

1. Set Ground Rules

Parting with certain belongings, especially those related to unfinished projects around the house, might be harder than anticipated. If you can’t decide whether to discard an item, think about the last time you used it. If it’s been six months or longer, ask yourself if it’s really something you need to keep. In addition to throwing things away, you can also donate gently used items to a charity or thrift store. 

2. Rent a Dumpster

You may not be able to leave some garage waste, such as old furniture, at the curb for pickup, so renting a dumpster is recommended as an alternative. The dumpster can be dropped off at your home on a day of your choosing for you to fill as needed. Standard dumpster sizes range from 15 to 30 yards.

3. Get Organized

Once your garage is clear of clutter, think about ways you can create more efficient storage. If you have a lot of tools lying around, consider installing a pegboard where you can hang hammers and wrenches.

If you store seasonal items in your garage, such as holiday decorations, create lofted storage bins so they’re out of the way until you need them. If you’re using a standing toolbox for hardware, attach labels to each drawer for easy retrieval.
