Top 5 Attic Cleanout Tips For New Jersey Home Owners: If you’re like most New Jersey homeowners, your attic is stuffed with clutter you have accumulated over the years. From boxes of outgrown clothing and old toys to seasonal decorations and paperwork, all that clutter can be overwhelming. If you’re having a tough time navigating your attic due to all the junk, or you’re planning to move and need to clear everything out, it’s time for an attic cleanout.

You may be dreading this task, but if you have an attic cleanout company helping you, it will be a breeze. Here are some tips to help you along.

5 Tips For Attic Cleanouts

  1. Take inventory of every item in your attic. Write it all down in a notebook, set up a spreadsheet on the computer, or take photos — as long as you have some kind of comprehensive documentation of what’s up there.
  2. Make three piles: keep, donate or sell, and trash. You can actually apply this general rule to any room of the house. As you sort into piles, be honest with yourself about the things you’ll actually use in the future. If you haven’t worn it in a year, get rid of it. If it’s broken, it goes in the trash. If it’s in good condition but you just no longer need it, sell or donate it.
  3. Be discriminating about sentimental items. We know, it’s easier said than done. Mementoes that come with a lot of emotions and memories can be tough to get rid of. But in the interest of freeing up space, you may consider taking a photo of the item and making a scrapbook later. This is a good idea for your kids’ school artwork. Posters and paintings they bring home take up a lot of space. Photograph them and toss the actual item.
  4. Hire a junk removal or attic cleanout company like Got Trash NJ. Once you have cleared everything out and placed all items in the appropriate piles, you need to get rid of the stuff to be trashed or recycled. It’s hard to move this volume of stuff yourself. That’s why it’s important to hire a professional for junk removal. Companies like Got Trash NJ cater to New Jersey homeowners like you, and can quickly and efficiently haul away all your unwanted items in no time.
  5. Now that all the junk is gone from your attic, it’s a good idea to create and commit to an organizational plan from now on. Install shelves or buy large tubs and labels so you can easily categorize your remaining and future items.
