When was the last time you decluttered your garage? If you’re like me, it’s probably been a while. For many of us, our garages have become a storage space for items we no longer need but can’t bear to part with. The clutter can be overwhelming, but it’s time to tackle it before the new year and cold weather set in!
Our garage was filled with old furniture, deflated outdoor water toys, baby pools, broken appliances, bags of donations, tools, and more!
In this blog post, I am sharing the reasons why *I think* you should declutter your garage and how hiring a junk removal service can make the process easier and more efficient.
First let’s go with why you should de-clutter your garage and honestly this is more of the reasons why I felt the need to de-clutter our garage, but maybe you can relate to this.
Eliminate the Mental Weight of Clutter: This was my number one reason for really making the effort to clean up our garage area is the mental weight of it all. The clutter in our garage was starting to be a mental burden. It was filled with broken items you meant to fix, way-past-their-prime sports equipment/baby pools/ride-on toys, and other random junk. The combination of it was can creating feelings of disarray and stress every time I walked in. By decluttering, I felt freedom from the mental weight. Now when I walk in to grab something from the garage fridge or look for a certain tool, I feel so much more peaceful + I can actually find what I am looking for!
Protect Your Vehicle: Another important point to consider is preparing for winter. With the winter season approaching rapidly, having a clutter-free garage becomes essential. Being able to park our van in the garage not only shields it from snow, ice, and harsh weather conditions but can also extend its lifespan and potentially save us from weather-related issues down the road. After all, Ohio weather can be quite unpredictable, and you never know what’s in store!
Efficiency and Accessibility: During the winter months, quick access to items like snow shovels, ice melt, or winter gear is crucial. Having to climb over a million and one things, is absolutely NOT FUN. Decluttering your garage ensures you can find these essentials easily, saving you time and frustration when you need them most.
Start the New Year Right: It’s almost the new year and who wants to start the new year with last years junk! Beginning the new year with a decluttered garage sets a positive tone for the months ahead. It symbolizes leaving behind the chaos of the past and embracing a fresh start with clarity and efficiency.
To make our garage decluttering journey easier, I teamed up with Two Men and a Junk Truck. Here, I’ll share why I chose to work with them and what I gained during the process.
Local, Easy to Schedule, and Convenient: These three benefits make for a winning combination, offering support to nearby businesses, effortless appointment booking, and unmatched convenience. Efficient scheduling ensures a smooth, hassle-free process, a strength of Two Men and a Junk Truck. They also provide flexible pickup options tailored to your schedule, adding to the overall convenience. The most significant advantage? Time and effort saved. Clearing out unwanted items, especially heavy or bulky ones like that old couch you’ve held onto for too long, can be daunting. Two Men and a Junk Truck stepped in to handle the heavy lifting and convinced us it was time to let go, despite our triplets’ attempts to persuade them otherwise!
Handling Bigger Tasks: Whether you’re moving, renovating, or simply decluttering, hiring professional junk removers like Two Men and a Junk Truck can efficiently tackle those larger tasks. They can take care of moving furniture and disposing of renovation debris, making the process hassle-free. In the past, we’ve made countless trips to the dumpster or just left items in the garage, but with their help, you can get everything done in one go, saving you from making multiple trips!
Rediscover Your Space: Once that junk was taken away, it felt like hitting the reset button. Finally, I could reorganize everything and savor a clutter-free zone. The kids were thrilled – just like in ‘Step Brothers,’ they exclaimed, ‘So much room for activities!’ It’s incredible how much more exciting a space becomes when you bid farewell to all the stuff you no longer need.
Overall, I had an awesome experience with Two Men and a Junk Truck. These guys are super easy to work with – they’re down-to-earth and totally professional. Getting started is a breeze: just a quick call or a visit to their website for a free estimate, no strings attached. They even pop over to your place for a walk-through, which really helps you figure out what to toss. When the big day comes, they shoot you a text about 15-20 minutes before showing up, giving you that last bit of time to make any final decisions.
When they arrive, just point out the stuff you’re saying goodbye to, and they handle the rest. I was a tad nervous they might judge my, let’s say, ‘collection’ of things, but nope – they were super cool about it. Friendly, charismatic, and totally non-judgy.
And the best part? Seeing all that clutter disappearing into the back of their truck, leaving you with a nice, clean space. It’s surprisingly liberating to watch all that junk just vanish!
Bonus: I discovered an amazing amount of items we’d been searching for in our garage. There were boots, brand-new snowsuits, various gift cards still loaded with money, an assortment of tools, numerous glue guns, a mini air compressor for inflating air mattresses, and much more! I probably could have finished my holiday shopping right there in our garage!
