Guide for Basement Cleanouts

If you are planning on cleaning out your basement and you would like to make sure that you can plan ahead accordingly, take some tips from the pros and follow our guide for basement cleanouts! Here are some of the best ways that you can clean out your basement and manage your cleanup effort efficiently.

Build Your Plan

Be sure to schedule your time and have a realistic plan for your basement cleanout. Booking some time off and making sure that you have the extra time to commit to a cleanup can be important. Depending on the amount of junk that you’ve accumulated, you may need to devote more than a day to your cleanup effort. 

Divide Into Zones

Consider zones for cleaning and making sure that you can clean them one at a time. Trying to clean one large room can be an overwhelming task but breaking up the job into a few chunks can make sure that you will be able to clean one section and then move onto another.

Have a Sorting Method

Starting with the sorting method of creating a pile to throw out, a pile to give away and a pile to keep will help you to redirect your junk appropriately. Having a section for these piles and moving the donation items out can be a great way to free up more space in the basement for organizing. 

Rent a Dumpster or Junk Removal

As you accumulate things that need to go in the trash, you might find yourself in need of a dumpster. Renting a dumpster for curbside trash pickup can be a great way to handle a large amount of items that need to go into the trash. Organizing some of the items that you need to donate and then making a few trips will also free up space. Online classifieds can be another excellent resource to help you free up space if you would like to sell or trade large items. 

Organize Your Keep Pile

When you have narrowed down the items that you’d like to keep, focus on a storage solution. Storage bins, shelving or clear bins can be a fantastic way to stay organized if you are able to label the contents of each bin. Organize your basement in a way that you can access the items that you’d like to keep and make sure that it can be well organized in proper storage.
