Garage Declutter: 3 Items You Don’t Need
If your garage is the most disorganized space in your home, you’re not alone! One survey from the National Association of Professional Organizers found that 50% of homeowners say the garage is the messiest area of their home.
Our garages tend to be a catch-all for storage containers, holiday decorations, family heirlooms, sporting equipment, tools, cleaning supplies, vehicle accessories, and even trash.
What can you do to make your garage a little tidier? We have some tips:
#1: Retire Those Halloween Costumes
Are you still holding onto Halloween costumes from decades long gone? Donate them to Goodwill! Your kids may not want to dress up as princesses or superheroes any longer, but someone else can put those costumes to good use. When you donate to Goodwill, you’ll give those costumes a second chance and help prevent landfill waste.
#2: Sort Through the Storage
A main reason our garages fill up with “stuff” is that we don’t take the time to look through what we already have in storage. As the saying goes, “out of sight, out of mind!” Don’t just assume you know what’s in those storage bins. Periodically, sort through them and ensure they are labeled appropriately. You may realize that you’re wasting valuable storage space on items that you no longer want, need, or use.
#3: Donate That Old Car!
Do you have a car taking up space in your garage that you don’t drive anymore? Donate it to Ohio Valley Goodwill — yes, we accept car donations in Cincinnati!
