How much money is in your garage?!

It’s that time again, time to CLEAN OUT, CLEAN UP and PURGE!

The average garage stores approximately $500.00 worth of items, products and tools that have hardly

been used (in some cases NEVER used). You read that correctly $500!!

It’s time to get organized. Here is how to get started.

1. Start from the top and work down. Do you have an attic over the garage? Clean out the attic by

bringing down ANY item that you have not used within the last 12 months. Place this item aside

in the driveway.

2. Begin to purge from the inside walls and work your way out. For instance: stand in front of your

garage and choose a direction, left or right? Let’s say you choose right, begin on the interior wall

and remove ALL items. Once removed, separate into groups in your driveway or yard. All items

not used within the last 12 months gets put aside the rest is on the opposite side of

yard/driveway.

3. Remove all items working your way to the left hand side of the garage. Once all of the floor

items have been removed, now you remove everything from the walls. Again, separate items

that have not been used within the last 12 months.

4. Lastly, empty all of your cabinets. As you empty all contents, scan each and every item for

expiration dates or quality. If you have old and separated paints, oils or repellents, dispose of

them immediately and properly. After all items are removed, wipe down the shelves inside the

cabinets and line them if necessary.

5. Go outside and assess the items you have not used in the last 12 months. List the items on Ebay,

local yard sale sites, host an impromptu garage sale or list in the local newspaper.

Lastly, tally your proceeds. How much money was in your garage?!
