How to Prepare for a Garage Cleanout | Declutter Tips

by | Jun 16, 2025 | Decluttering Tips, Garage Organization, Junk Removal Advice

A cluttered garage is more than just an eyesore—it’s a missed opportunity for storage, hobbies, or even parking your car! Whether you’re planning a major purge or a simple tidy-up, preparation is key to a smooth garage cleanout. Here’s how to get started:

1. Set a Goal and a Date

Before you start tossing boxes, set a clear goal. Do you want to reclaim space for a vehicle? Create a home gym or workshop? Knowing your “why” keeps you motivated. Then, schedule a day—or weekend—just for the cleanout.

2. Gather Your Supplies

You’ll need trash bags, bins for donations, cleaning supplies, and maybe even a label maker. Don’t forget gloves and sturdy shoes—you never know what’s lurking in the corners!

3. Sort Into Categories

Use the classic “Keep, Donate, Trash” system—or go a step further by adding a “Sell” pile. Group similar items together so you can see what you’ve been hoarding: 14 hammers? Maybe it’s time to let a few go.

4. Call a Junk Removal Service

Let’s be honest—some items are too bulky or messy to handle alone. Superstar Junk Removal can haul away your garage clutter quickly and affordably. Old furniture, broken tools, yard equipment—we’ve seen it all and cleared it all.

5. Clean and Reorganize

Once everything’s out, sweep the floor, wipe down surfaces, and maybe even give the walls a fresh coat of paint. Then, organize what’s left. Use vertical storage, shelves, and clear bins so things are easy to find and even easier to maintain.


Final Tip:
Don’t let the junk creep back in! Do seasonal checkups and schedule regular pickups if needed. Superstar Junk Removal is just a call away to help keep your garage (and sanity) clutter-free.
