What is the best way to clean out a garage full of junk?

The best way to clean out a garage full of junk is to pull everything out. Then sort it into keep, donate, and haul piles so that you can book a junk removal crew to do the rest.

A packed garage has a way of sneaking up on you. One box turns into ten. Then the workbench disappears and eventually the car lives in the driveway. The good news is this is one of the most satisfying spaces to reclaim, because progress shows fast once you get going.

The easiest way to handle this is to empty all the items onto the driveway. This lets you see what you have. Then you can sort quickly into three piles: keep, donate, and haul.

It’s best not to overthink each item. The longer you deliberate, the slower the process goes. It helps to tackle the biggest pieces earliest (furniture, appliances, etc.) because it clears up a lot of space and you get to build momentum fast. Then what comes next is easier to organize and put back.

The last step is to get rid of what’s in the donate and haul-away piles. That’s a lot to do on your own. That’s why a dedicated garage cleanout crew can be incredibly helpful.
