Start with three physical zones: keep, review, and remove. Leave a fourth clear strip from the garage door to the back wall so nobody has to step over loose items while sorting.
Work from the doorway inward
Move obvious trash and empty boxes first, then group tools, sporting goods, holiday storage, and household items. Do not open leaking containers or combine unknown liquids. Fuel, paint, chemicals, batteries, and pressurized cylinders need to be identified before a hauling crew arrives.
Garage access checklist
- Keep one clear walking lane.
- Set aside keys, documents, and small valuables.
- Photograph large items if you are requesting an estimate by phone.
- Measure anything wider than the garage side door.
- List restricted or questionable materials separately.
What to tell the removal team
Give a rough item count, note heavy equipment, and explain whether the driveway must remain open. If the garage is detached or reached by an alley, say so before scheduling.
