Have a Plan

Declutter the Garage

If you’ve dumped stuff into your garage over time, there’s probably a lot for you to sort out. Take a day or two to clear all the clutter systematically.

Any items that you’ve either stacked up in boxes, containers, or piles should be sorted out one by one. Also, clean as you declutter to avoid ending up with a bigger mess.

You can come up with three zones: keep, donate, and trash, and put each item in its category.
