Organizing Your Garage
Summer is here – a great time to declutter the GARAGE

At this time of year we spend a lot of time outdoors – why not take a look inside your garage and toss or donate items you no longer use. Don’t forget to install shelving to better organize all your different items! Now, to get you started, here are some ideas:
TOSS/RECYCLE: empty cardboard boxes, outdated sports equipment you are no longer using, broken toys, beach towels that have seen better days, holiday decorations that no longer look ‘fresh’, anything you’ve saved ‘just in case’ you think you might need it someday (if you haven’t used it by now, you probably never will)….
DONATE: duplicate sets of items – especially tools and clothing that no longer fit; appliances or gadgets you no longer use; pantry items you haven’t used in a year; inherited items you don’t use (if there is another family member who would appreciate the items, now is a good time to pass them along); anything else you are not using that is taking up valuable real estate in your garage.
BUT, here are some things to keep…..
- Earthquake/Disaster preparedness kits for each family member (be sure to check expiration dates & replace if necessary)
- Holiday decorations – put like things together so you’ll have an easier time finding what you need
- Overstock pantry items
- Bulky serving platters and large vases for entertaining
- Car cleaning supplies
- Household cleaning or gardening supplies that are not used on a weekly basis
Happy Summer!
