Decluttering Mission: Garage

It’s time to clean up the clutter in the garage and remove everything that is not in use for years.

I have in the garage several plastic items I brought from the company I worked for. They produced plastic products like basins, dish drainers, flower pots, buckets, garbage bins, etc. and sometimes, the products with less quality, were thrown in the recycling area so we were authorized to bring some of them home. And I brought some too much in fact and most of them were never used because I just don’t need them. I’m thinking about making a selection, the good ones I ask the neighbors if they are interested in keeping them and others, if I can not reuse them I will throw them away. I wish there were garage sales here!.

Other stuff I have in the garage is Christmas decorations which I will keep; music tapes from the 80′ and 90′ which I don’t know if they still work;I also have baby clothes from my kids that I refused to give away because they were from their early days, weeks and months. I still don’t know if I’m going to keep them or give them to someone in need.

I also have some camping equipment from my single years. I have one camping tent with one room, a camping gas oven and one camping cabinet. I really don’t know if I should keep this because the tent is to small for the four of us. On one hand I think my son when he is 25 one day, might want to go camping with friends and the tent can be useful by then; on the other hand I think it will be too damaged for him to use.

Oh…and I have in the garage, home decoration items that I never used and which I don’t want to use. Maybe I will give them to an association to be used in a raffle.I like to reuse everything and if I can make some money on the process the better.

Let see if I don’t forget to take the before and after photos!!

    My policy is that if I don’t use it for 6 months-1 year, then i’ll never use it so, it ends in the garbage. I don’t like keeping a lot of stuff in the house/garage because they get very dusty.

    We should advocate the repeated use.
