Decluttering and organizing your garage has a lot of benefits, from improved safety and peace of mind to fewer pests. Let's take a look at just a few.

• You'll finally be able to fit your car in the garage. Hurray!
• Getting rid of the clutter means you won't be constantly tripping or whacking your head on something. 
• Mice, spiders, and other pests won't find your neat, clean garage nearly as appealing.
  

Do you have any of these items in your garage? If you do, it might be time to give them the heave-ho. In an environmentally-responsible way, of course!

• That country blue paint you used on your living room how many coats ago? Or how about the avocado green your kitchen cabinets were painted back in the 70s?
• Old tires make a cozy hiding place for spiders and other creepy crawlies. It's definitely time for them to go!
• Leaky sports balls, broken tools, outgrown kids' toys, old boxes and other trash... How many of these are lurking in your garage?

Of course, you might need some help to handle a job this big.

A professional junk removal company will come in and handle all of the sorting, organizing, and heavy lifting for you. They'll take almost everything away and either donate, recycle, or properly dispose of it.

The only things they can't take are items that are considered hazardous waste, like oil-based paints, motor oil, car batteries, flammable materials, or certain household chemicals. Once everything else is gone, it'll be easy for you to drop those off at the Mecklenburg County or Wake County hazardous waste recycling center (depending on where you live).

Winter is coming—don't let your garage turn into a frozen junkyard! Clearing out clutter now makes room for your car, winter gear, and holiday storage. Here are some common questions about winter garage clean-outs:



1. Why should I clean out my garage before winter? A clutter-free garage means more space for your car, preventing snow and ice buildup. Plus, it keeps winter gear like shovels, snowblowers, and holiday decorations easy to access.
