Knowing Where to Start
Getting ready to tackle an old shed clean out? If you are finally ready to get rid of the clutter and old, broken items in your shed, you need to start planning before you start getting rid of stuff. You will first and foremost, want to get a dumpster rental on the books for the project. The dumpster rental company you work with can help determine what size will bet fit your project as well. You will also want to start taking a sort of inventory of the items that you are about to go through in your shed. Consider what you will want to keep and what you are planning on parting ways with.
Sort Your Stuff
A big part of the process is going to be sifting through all the things found in your old shed and deciding what you are planning on keeping. A good question to ask yourself is, “if I were moving across country tomorrow, would I want to pack all of this up and take it with me?” If you answer no to some of those items, you may want to consider getting rid of them. You will want to sort your belongings into three different categories, keep, throw away, donate/sell. If you have things that you don’t necessarily need, but that you aren’t will to part ways with, you can always put those items in probation of sorts until you figure it out.
Clean Out the Shed
With everything out of the shed, this is a great time to give it a good cleaning. Once you have cleaned it thoroughly, you can begin to put the items you wish to keep back inside as well as the items that you placed in probation. You may want to box up the probation items before you put them back in the shed though.
