Fall garage cleanout: 5 DIY tips for a garage you can actually park in.
1. Sort first, shop later. Pull everything out and make three piles (keep, donate, trash) before you buy a single bin.
2. Go vertical. Shelves and wall hooks get stuff off the floor. Floor space is the goal.
3. Clear bins plus labels. If you can't see what's inside, you'll never find it again.
4. Give everything a zone. Tools, sports gear, seasonal decor, car stuff. Each gets its own home.
5. Keep a donation box in the garage. When it's full, it leaves. No maybe pile.
