Must Know Garage Cleaning Tips

When it comes time to clean out the garage, among all of the sighs and groans, you know

deep down that the end result will be well worth the effort. Old toys and boxes, items that

are no longer in use -- these are just a few of the things that deserve to be thrown out or reused

as you free up some space in your extra room. But in order to get after this project and

complete it effectively, it’s important to go in with a plan, and know the best tips for cleaning

out your garage.

Multiple Garbage Bags

We know that cleaning out the garage can be a drag, but there’s so much to be rummaged

through that it’s becoming necessary to separate things as they go in the trash. This is a

great opportunity for you to sort through each piece of trash and throw it into its

corresponding garbage can. This allows you to know what type of waste you have, and

makes it exceptionally easy for another company

Shelving & Cabinets

Another way to save space and create more in your garage is to build or buy shelving

that helps you keep things off of the ground and in the way. This will allow you to store

rarely needed items up top and the more frequently used items a bit lower. This eventually

allows people to become less prone to throwing things around and creating a mess

because there’s more incentive to keep the area waste-free and organized.

Put Garbage Cans In

For many, there isn’t a place to put anything after it’s reached its last use while in the

garage. This is why many things end up becoming left in there, piled up, and forgotten

about. To fight this issue, make sure you put a garbage can in the garage (even if it’s

small) so that old items can get immediately thrown away and taken out to the trash as

they reach the end of their usage cycle.

Of course, it’s also advisable to have a reputable waste company come and haul

everything away as it’s thrown out to reduce overall clutter in your home!

Top 3 Things You Should Be Recycling

Recycling is a key to today’s society. Without the efforts put forth by recycling, we’d have

waste piling up in landfills even more than before! This is why, no matter the product, it’s

always worth seeing if it can be recycled -- not only to help our waste issues, but to combat

overutilization of materials that we already have extra of. Below are a few of the top things

you should be recycling at home that can prove to save our environment.

Plastic

Obviously one of the biggest contributors to our waste is the unnecessary use of plastic in

everyday life. This comes from containers to hold food, water bottles, packaging and more.

As we consume more, we use more, and a ton of it goes unrecycled, which leaves the

process to become a cycle of constantly needing new materials when old pieces can be

broken down and reused. Combat this by aggregating all of your plastic in one area and

recycling it in bulk so that it’s easy to take in one load rather than more frequent, smaller

ones.

Paper

Another large contributor comes from paper, which is something we write on, get mail

from, and use for other purposes. Instead of buying huge packs of paper plates, there

are certainly sustainable means in which you can make the most out of other materials,

and save paper. Instead of throwing these items right in the trash, recycle them individually

as paper so they don’t become contaminated with other liquids and can be reused.

Styrofoam

One of the worst things taking up space is styrofoam, as it’s breakdown time is among the

longest of any material. With products that contain styrofoam, it’s easy to want to just toss it

away since there’s no use, however finding a way to use it can benefit both you and the

environment at the same time. Instead of tossing this material in the garbage, contact your

local waste company to see how you can combat pollution and get rid of this item safely!

New To CT Homeowner Checklist

Moving to CT for the first time? Congratulations! Now that you’ve picked a great state to

live in, it’s time to begin thinking about the other moving parts that come along with being

a homeowner. Before getting settled in your house, it’s important to remember a few things,

and check them off of your list before you forget. Below are just a few of the things to remember

now that you’re a new homeowner in Connecticut!

Town Events

To learn about what’s going on in your town, it’s sometimes important to learn when there are

going to be town hall events, forums, and discussions about what’s going on in your community.

Depending on your location, mark these days down in your calendar in order to be able to

attend and not forget about them! This helps you understand what is happening in your

community and how you can become more involved.

Figure Out Your Garbage

Garbage collection is usually always different when it comes to each town. This is why it’s

important to not only enlist a company you can trust to get the job done correctly, but one

that will be both reliable, and on a schedule that you can work with in order to be there

when necessary.

Of course, this is just a small list of the things you may need to do at home, but every

process is different! What’s most important is to learn your surroundings, make friends

with the neighbors, and enjoy your new life at home!
