If you can’t park in your garage anymore, you’re not alone. Garages turn into the place everything goes when we don’t know what else to do with it: boxes from the last move, broken tools, old furniture, bikes the kids outgrew and holiday decorations nobody uses. Here’s how Murfreesboro homeowners can get their garage back, often in a single day.
1. Pick your “keep” pile first
Before anything gets hauled, walk through and pull out only what you know you’ll use in the next year. Set it in one spot, like the driveway or one corner. Everything else is a decision, not a default.
2. Sort the rest into three groups
- Donate or sell: working furniture, tools, bikes and sports gear in good shape.
- Haul away: broken items, old boxes, worn-out furniture, scrap and general junk.
- Special handling: paint, chemicals, batteries and propane tanks usually can’t go in regular trash and need their own drop-off.
3. Do the heavy lifting once
The slowest part of a garage cleanout is hauling. Multiple trips to the dump in a pickup can eat a whole weekend. A junk removal crew can load everything in one visit, including old fridges and freezers, workbenches, shelving, exercise equipment and yard equipment.
4. Keep it from filling back up
- Use wall shelving and hooks so items live off the floor.
- Give every bin a label and a home.
- Do a quick 15-minute purge each season.
