Howdy! It's been awhile since the last post in the "No Brainer Things to Toss" series. In case you missed a post, here's a summary of what we've covered so far:

- No Brainer Things to Toss in Your Home Office Decluttering Session
- No Brainer Things to Toss in Your Closet Decluttering Session
Moving on to garage decluttering! The garage is a BEAST of a space. And garage organization just so happens to be the focus this month in the Organize & Refine Your Home Challenge, I've compiled a list of 10 "No Brainers" (and a BONUS item) that you can immediately place into the "toss" pile during your garage decluttering sessions.
As always, this post is inspired by a recent tour of my own home. And as always, I'm kinda mortified to share the photos. But we're all friends, right? #NOJUDGEMENTPLEASE
May I present...
THE GARAGE DECLUTTERING TOSS LIST
This week, I was prepping for my Memorial Day picnic, and I pulled out my box of outdoor decorations. When I examined the contents, I immediately wondered what on earth I was thinking last year when I put these faded and dirty items back in the box at the end of the summer.
Whether it’s holiday decor, or those outdoor decorations (think wind chimes, planters, etc.) that have seen better days, now’s the time to say adios!

Phew! Once you clear out the items on the No Brainer List, you'll be well on your way to conquering that garage clutter, and being able to park your cars in the garage.
What items will you be tossing from this garage decluttering list? What else would you add? Share with the rest of us one of the items in your garage decluttering toss pile!

So, I have anxiety about landfills and admit to holding onto items that are broken with hopes that our community (or a neighboring one) will have a place for people who repair broken items and resell them. Yes. There is such a thing. I would love to know more about such places and some that are local to Northeast Ohio.

I would love to know as well! If you come across any Sheila, please share here in the comments 🙂

I so-o-o-o need to get in my garage and start doing a massive cleaning-out project. Thanks for the tips and motivation! I think I’ll wait for fall, though. (We’re in the mid-to-upper 90’s today).

Yes, I hear you Carol! Fall and spring are the best times, so just tuck the list away until then 🙂

Great list! Our garage is a hot mess. Once the weather cools down here in Arizona, conquering our garage is top of list. Visiting from Tutorials and Tips party.

I can’t imagine that July is the ideal time to declutter a garage in Arizona LOL!
