As the weather gets nice, most people use the spring time to get their house in order and de-clutter any mess. In this article we will outline how to de-clutter those problem areas in the most efficient way. Then call Junk Deposit to pick up all your unwanted items.
1. First you want to find the area that needs your attention the most. For many families this is going to be the garage or attic.
2. Next create three separate piles to organize your items in, a “keep” pile, “donate” pile, and “junk” pile. For even less hassle you can create two piles for just “keep” and “junk” items then call junk deposit to pick up everything you no longer want. We will then donate the usable items for you.
3. Start with the big stuff. This is a little tip to help make things a little less overwhelming. By starting with the large items you are able to clear a good amount of space and the job seems more manageable.
4. Make sure you clear the space entirely to work with a blank slate. It’s easier if you use your yard to hold your three piles.
5. Having trouble decided what stays and goes? Here are some questions to ask yourself. “Have I used it in the last year? Do I like it? Do I need it? Does it add value to me?” If you answer no then it’s time to go.
6. Once finished clearing the space do a deep and thorough clean to remove all dirt and dust.
7. Finally organize and put back the things from your keep pile. If you need help with some organizing tips, take a look at our organizing article.
