It can be pretty stressful when your backyard or your place of business contains tons of junk that continue to clutter the place. However, the more it piles up, the more it gets hard to get fixed and cleaned. The right thing to do is get rid of this mess, so you’ll have more space to work with.
In this case, it is time to clean up, so get moving. You need to invest some time and effort if you really want to get rid of the junk piling up in the backyard of your residential or commercial property. With these three easy and efficient ways, your backyard will soon have back its shine.
1. Sort Your Things And Create A Yard Sale
Sorting your things can take a lot of time- it is a fact. Take a deep breath and be prepared for what you need to face here. First, you need to have four types of boxes: one that contains usable stuff, one for worthless junk, one for recycling, and one for donation.
However, because you are going to create a yard sale, you would only sell the items that are usable and somehow, in good condition.
After preparing the boxes, you need to make sure that you have the necessary cleaning tools and other materials suitable for the task. Some of the items including gloves, sunscreen for protection, shears, clippers, rake (for fallen leaves and twigs), bins, table, display area, and a lot more you think you need.
Do not rush it so that you will be able to do your tasks more properly and efficiently. Take your time and see through all of the stuff that is piled in your backyard and sort them into their designated boxes.
After knowing which stuff is still in good condition, you can make an advertisement by putting up flyers for a yard sale next week (your date and time of choice). Arrange them accordingly and you can put tags on them for your potential customers to see how much they cost.
2. Hire A Junk Removal Professional
A junk removal professional can help you deal with the junk in your yard. A cleanout company has many experts who will be responsible for hauling away your stuff, whether it’s for personal use or something that is used for business, from your backyard and dispose of them properly. If you do not have the time to sort and clean up your backyard, then leave it to the professionals.
However, if you want to save costs, it may be a good choice to handle it yourself. Though, you may have a greater chance of being sentimental once you see your sorted stuff which will make it hard to get rid of them.
3. Put It Up For Free Or Donate It
After your yard sale, it is inevitable that some things would not sell. Your only choice would be to put it up for free or hand it down to your known family, relatives, or friends. You can send them pictures of your stuff and let them know if they want to get it. For bigger stuff, you can choose to donate it. For business owners, you can also consider this option as it can boost sales and get rid of all your unwanted stuff at the same time. Though you may need to go to the place yourself to donate, it can be really helpful for certain companies so that they will be able to recycle them.
Now that you've gotten rid of all the junk, the only thing left is to figure out how to prevent it from piling up again. If you want to prevent these kinds of incidents, you must sort and organize your stuff so that you can easily access them because you know where you place them. This way, you will know where they are and when it is time to use them.
