You don’t have to do it all on your own.

1. Start with a Plan (and a Playlist)
Clearing out a garage isn’t just a task—it’s a mission. Block out a few hours or even a full weekend. Set the vibe with a great playlist or podcast to make the work more enjoyable.
- Remove everything from the garage to start with a clean slate.
- Sort into zones: Keep, Donate, Recycle, and Toss.
- Be honest: if it’s broken, expired, or hasn’t been touched in years, it might be junk.
Pro Tip: Got bulky stuff you can’t lift? Sasquatch Junk Removal handles the heavy lifting so you don’t have to strain your back.
2. Tackle Seasonal Tool Clutter
Summer tools are coming out of hibernation—and winter gear needs to be put away properly.
- Inspect tools for rust, damage, or duplicates.
- Use pegboards, wall hooks, or magnetic strips to store commonly used items like garden shears, rakes, and hoses.
- Toss or donate anything you haven’t used in the past year.
If your pile of rusted tools is growing fast, don’t stress. We offer scrap metal removal to haul it all away in one go.
3. Sort and Store Sports Equipment
Baseball bats, soccer balls, bikes, and camping gear—oh my. Summer sports gear needs to be easily accessible and neatly stored.
- Use large bins for grouping equipment by sport or family member.
- Install ceiling racks or wall hooks for bikes, kayaks, and scooters.
- Deflate balls that won’t be used and recycle broken gear.
Too much gear? Sasquatch can remove old or unusable sporting equipment to help free up that much-needed space.
4. Banish the Bin Chaos
You probably have a few mystery totes hiding in your garage. This is the time to investigate.
- Label and group storage bins by category (holiday, tools, keepsakes).
- Use clear bins for quick identification.
- Recycle boxes and old containers that have seen better days.
Junked-out bins, broken lids, and cardboard boxes can all go straight to the donation or dump pile—with a little help from Sasquatch.
