Avoid the habit of just moving your old things from one spot in the garage to the next. Take the plunge and purge any non-essentials.
When it comes to cleaning out the garage, where do you start? Most importantly, what do you do with all the stuff? Simply tossing everything in the trash seems like a waste, especially if there is still life left in what you plan to throw away. Instead, try recycling your stash and possibly make some cash.
The hardest part of any organizational project is getting started. Schedule some time to go through everything. To make sure unwanted items do not end up in a landfill, sort through the contents of the garage and divide it into four piles — keep, sell, donate and recycle.
Give unwanted items a second life and earn a little extra pocket change by hosting a garage sale or selling gently used items online. Items you cannot sell can be added to your donate pile and given to a local charity. Alternatively, check with your municipality to find out what can be recycled in your community, especially when it comes to products like batteries and paint.
Keep with the green organizational theme as you put the garage back in order by incorporating recycled materials into the space. A utility tile floor in the garage made using recycled tires is both functional and ecofriendly.
Find more information about recycled tire products and check the Internet to locate a tire collector or company that recycles tires.
