Garage Cleanout Tips for St. George Homeowners

If your garage has become a storage unit instead of a place for your car, you’re not alone. The desert climate means your garage becomes the default dump zone.

Step 1: Set a goal. Decide what you want your garage to look like when you’re done. Park both cars? Set up a workshop? Having a clear goal keeps you focused.

Step 2: Pick the right day. In St. George, timing matters. Summers hit 110°F. Plan for early morning or wait for a cooler month like March or October.

Step 3: Sort into piles. Pull everything out and sort: keep, donate, sell, and junk. If you haven’t touched it in two years, you probably don’t need it.

Step 4: Handle the junk. This is usually the biggest pile. You can make dump trips, schedule a pickup, or call a junk removal service.

Step 5: Clean and organize. Sweep out the red dust. Add shelving and plastic storage bins — they hold up better than cardboard in the dry climate.

Step 6: Prevent future buildup. Do a mini-declutter every season. Don’t let six months of accumulation become six years.
