For many of us in Clark County, the garage is the “catch-all” zone. It starts with a few boxes, then holiday decorations, then broken tools… and suddenly, you can’t park your car inside anymore.
Reclaiming your garage doesn’t just give you parking space—it keeps your car out of the brutal desert sun. Here is our step-by-step guide to tackling the mess.
Step 1: The “Driveway Sort” Pick a cool morning (start early!) and pull everything out into the driveway. You can’t organize clutter. Create three clear zones:
- Keep: Tools, active sports gear, holiday decor.
- Donate/Sell: Items that work but you haven’t used in a year.
- Trash/Junk: Broken items, empty boxes, old paint, and debris.
Step 2: Be Ruthless Ask yourself: Have I used this since I moved in? If the answer is no, it needs to go. That broken treadmill? The old carpet scraps from the remodel? It’s just taking up valuable real estate.
Step 3: Organize Vertical Space Once the junk is gone, get things off the floor. In Las Vegas, dust and pests settle on the ground. Use heavy-duty shelving or wall hooks for bikes and tools to keep the floor clear for your vehicle.
Step 4: Call in the Reinforcements The hardest part of a garage cleanout is the “Trash” pile. It’s usually too big for your residential bin, and you don’t want it sitting in your driveway for weeks.
