Garages have a way of becoming catch-all storage zones for items you no longer use but don’t know what to do with. If your garage feels more like a clutter cave than a space you can use, it may be time for a cleanout.
Here are some common types of clutter we see during garage cleanouts and what to do with them:
- Sports and outdoors gear—Old bikes, cracked helmets, broken skateboards, and unused camping gear all take up valuable space. Try donating some items if they are still usable. However, others should be disposed of properly. During garage cleanouts, we make sure recyclable materials are separated whenever possible.
- Broken tools and scrap metal—Rusty rakes, snapped shovels, bent wrenches, and broken power tools often sit around just in case. These items can usually be recycled as scrap metal. We can sort them appropriately to keep them out of the landfill.
- Old tires and car parts—Used tires, worn-out car batteries, and broken car parts are bulky and difficult to dispose of correctly. These items require special handling due to environmental regulations. We can help you haul and deliver them to the proper disposal facility.
- Outdated electronics—Old televisions, computers, cords, and random chargers pile up fast. These contain components that shouldn’t end up in landfills, so we make sure they get to approved recycling centers.
- Mystery boxes—If you haven’t opened a box in years, chances are you don’t need what’s inside. We can help you reclaim space by removing forgotten clutter and donating usable items when possible.
