Planning- before starting your organization process, think about the amount of junk you are working with and what you want the end result to be. Do you need to get rid of your junk? Or just put it all in order? Be reasonable when planning, don’t set a goal that is unreachable.
Prepare- what does this mean? Preparing means getting organized in what you will need to complete this task. Something that can help you to get organized is buying storage bins, shelves, hooks, etc. If you need to purchase anything, make sure you do this in the preparation step of the process.
De-Clutter- Its time to get started. Roll up your sleeves, and start moving everything out of the area you want to get rid of. You will need to get rid of any junk to really de-clutter and get organized.
Install- Once you clear the area of junk, its time to put up those shelves or hooks you may have purchased. Anything you plan to use to help your organization you may move into the room.

Are you overwhelmed by the mess you see every time you open the garage door? Have you finally had enough and are ready to do something about the clutter? Item by item, the mess has built from month to month and year to year. If you’ve reached the boiling point, and are ready to take charge, and reclaim your garage, the following tips will help you get started.
PREPLANNING STEPS
First, set aside an entire day, maybe even an entire weekend for a larger cleanup project. Get an early start. Commit to getting the job done once you’ve started.
Make an “organizational assessment” before getting started. Once you’ve purged unwanted items, is there a better way to organize things you want to keep? Would shelves help? Pegboards and hooks? Cabinets? Storage bins? Your local home supply store will have great storage solutions and suggestions. Buy these items and have them on hand and ready to go.
Before the big day, schedule a pickup from Junk Boys to haul away items that will be thrown away. We will also recycle and donate items that can be reused. Are there other items in your house or basement that should be included with this pickup? In Toronto, call 416.655.8260 to arrange a pickup, or schedule online at thejunkboys.com/home/user-extended/register.html . Schedule this pickup for late in the day of your big clean up project.
A couple of handy items to have on hand include a cooler of water, a good supply of garbage bags and empty boxes to help with sorting and purging. And perhaps a few aspirin for the expected end of the day aches and pains after a day of decluttering.
Label the empty boxes to help with sorting. Suggested labels include Tools, Garden Supplies, Sports, Cleaning, Auto Supplies, Toys, Grill Supplies, Holiday, Donate, Junk.
GETTING STARTED
The best way to tackle your garage cleanup project is to pull everything out of the garage, sort and purge, and then put things back in the garage that you want to keep.
As you pull items out of the garage, use your driveway and adjacent yard as a staging area. Sort the items into piles, or use your pre-labeled boxes to help with your initial organization effort. If you’re not sure whether you want to keep something or not, put it in an “Undecided” pile, and make a decision later in the day.
A good rule of thumb is to purge anything you haven’t used in one or two years. You’d be surprised how this rule of thumb can help in making final choices and eliminate a large amount of clutter.
Once you’ve pulled everything out of the garage, and have made initial choices on what you’re keeping, and what you’re purging, now you need to think about how you want to arrange items as they go back in the garage.
Before you make final choices on new shelving, cabinets, or hooks, think about what items you use most frequently and want to be able to easily access. This may influence how you reorganize your garage. Things used on a daily or weekly basis (lawnmower, sports equipment, cleaning supplies) should be easily accessible. Holiday items, used once a year, can be stored in less convenient locations.
Revisit your “Undecided” pile. If in doubt, get rid of the items in this pile. You’ll appreciate the decluttered garage more than holding on to seldom used items.
