The Ultimate Garage Cleanout Guide

Reclaim your parking space this weekend. Strategies for sorting, donating, and dumping decades of clutter.

Is your garage for cars or for cardboard boxes? Reclaiming your garage is the #1 reason homeowners rent a dumpster in the spring.

Strategy for Success

1. Empty Everything: Pull everything onto the driveway first. Seeing the empty space is motivating.

2. Sort into Three Piles: Keep, Donate, Trash. Be ruthless with the “Trash” pile.

3. Load Smart: Place flat, heavy items at the bottom of the dumpster (like old plywood). Throw bulky, lighter items on top. This maximizes your space.

With an Apex dumpster in your driveway for a week, you can tackle this project a few hours each evening without the pressure of rushing.
