Declutter Like a Pro: Ultimate Garage and Shed Clearance Guide!

Let’s face it—garages and sheds clearance often become the “catch-all” areas of our homes. What starts as a place to store tools or bikes gradually turns into a dumping ground for everything we don’t want in the house. If you’ve been avoiding your cluttered shed or garage like the plague, it might be time for a serious clearance session. But where do you even start?

Don’t worry—Yess Clearance has your back! We’ve put together the ultimate garage and shed clearance guide to help you reclaim your space and your sanity. Whether you’re prepping for a renovation, selling your property, or just need room to breathe, this step-by-step guide will transform your clutter into order.

Why Garage and Shed Clearance Matters

Over time, unused items pile up, leaving you with less space, more stress, and even potential safety hazards. A cluttered shed or garage can:

• Reduce usable space for tools, cars, or gardening equipment.

• Attract pests and mould due to damp, dust, and disorganisation.

• Pose risks like trips, falls, or fire hazards.

• Cause emotional clutter, making you feel overwhelmed every time you open the door.

Clearing these spaces out doesn’t just benefit your physical environment—it boosts mental clarity and overall home organisation too.

Step 1: Set Clear Goals and Timeframes

Before diving into the mess, decide what you want to achieve. Are you:

• Creating a functional workshop?

• Making room to park your car?

• Decluttering before a move or sale?

• Simply tidying up for peace of mind?

Once your goal is clear, set a realistic timeframe. For example:

• Small sheds may take 2–4 hours.

• Medium garages could take a full day.

• Large, heavily cluttered spaces may need a weekend (or two!).

Tip: Don’t try to clear everything in one go if it’s overwhelming. Tackle one section at a time—left to right or top to bottom.

Step 2: Gather Your Tools and Supplies

You wouldn’t fix a sink without the right tools—and clearing your garage or shed is no different.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Heavy-duty gloves

• Bin bags (black for rubbish, clear for recycling)

• Boxes or storage bins (labelled: Keep, Donate, Sell, Recycle, Trash)

• Dust masks (for older sheds/garages with dust or mould)

• Broom, mop, vacuum (for a thorough clean afterward)

• Shelving or pegboards (for future organisation)

Having your supplies ready will make the process smoother—and safer.

Step 3: The Big Sort – Keep, Donate, Recycle, Dispose

Empty out your garage or shed section by section. As you go, sort every item into one of five categories:

1. Keep – Items you use regularly or will need in the near future.

2. Donate – Good-condition items that can help someone else.

3. Sell – Tools, furniture, or equipment with resale value.

4. Recycle – Materials like metal, plastic, cardboard, or e-waste.

5. Dispose – Broken, expired, or hazardous items (old paint, chemicals, etc.)

Pro Tip from Yess Clearance: Be ruthless. If you haven’t used it in a year, seriously consider letting it go. Most clutter comes from “just in case” thinking.

Step 4: Remove Waste Responsibly

Step 5: Deep Clean Your Space

Once your garage or shed is empty, now’s the time to clean like a pro:

• Sweep and vacuum dust, cobwebs, and debris.

• Wash windows and vents to allow in fresh light and air.

• Wipe down walls and shelves to remove grime and mildew.

• Mop the floor or hose it out if you have proper drainage.

A sparkling clean space will give you that satisfying “fresh start” feeling.

Step 6: Smart Storage and Organisation Tips

Now that everything’s clean and decluttered, it’s time to rebuild with intention. Use these pro tips to keep it that way:

1. Go Vertical

Install wall-mounted shelves, hooks, and pegboards. Use overhead storage racks for infrequent-use items.

2. Use Clear Storage Bins

Transparent containers let you see what’s inside, reducing rummaging and re-clutter.

3. Label Everything

Use a label maker or masking tape and a marker to tag every bin, drawer, and shelf.

4. Create Zones

Group items by category: tools, gardening, seasonal decor, car supplies, etc.

5. Use Cabinets with Locks

If you store hazardous items (chemicals, fuel, sharp tools), keep them locked away from kids and pets.

6. Rotate Seasonally

Once every 3–6 months, rotate items and do a mini clear-out to stay on top of clutter.

What to Do With Items You’re Not Sure About

We all have those “maybe” items. Here’s a simple decision-making trick:

• Ask: “When did I last use this?”

• Then: “Will I realistically use it in the next 6 months?”

• If not, let it go—or store it in a “probation box” with a date written on it. If you haven’t touched it in 6 months, it’s time to say goodbye.
