If you are lucky enough to have a basement in your home, it might have become the perfect storage unit rather than the living space that it was intended to be. Many homeowners end up putting things down in their basements because they don’t know what else to do with it. Over time, this can start to really add up to a lot of junk. It can seem overwhelming to get rid of it so that you can enjoy the space again. Mickey’s Carting is here to talk about how a dumpster rental can get you well on the way to reclaiming your basement.
Finding the Motivation to Clean Out Your Basement
Wanting useable space in your basement and working to clean it out are two different things. It can seem like an overwhelming task to clean out a basement that has been gathering stuff for years on end. However, if you haven’t been able to use your basement for quite some time, it might be the right time to clean it out. The best way to free up your basement space is to start getting rid of the clutter that is down there.
Steps to Cleaning Out a Basement
It is easiest to clean out a basement when you have a rhyme and reason to the chaos. Here are some steps to make the process a little easier:
– Start Sorting: The first step in reclaiming your basement space is to start sorting it. You will want to make three piles. One pile of things to keep. A pile that is filled with things to donate. Another pile of things that you are ready to throw away. Once you break this up into piles, it won’t seem like it is such an impossible task. While sorting, consider how often you have used the item, if it still brings you joy and if you have a need for it. This can be helpful when trying to go through old stuff.
– Organize: Once you have it sorted into piles, you can start working on an organization system that will help you find a place for everything that you’re planning on keeping.
– Donate: Take the pile that you have sorted to donate and get it out of your home. Hopefully, someone else can use the things that you no longer need or want.
– Rent a Dumpster: There is more than likely going to be a large pile of things that you’re ready to throw away. If this is the case, the easiest way to do this is with a dumpster rental.
