I bought my house about ten years ago now, and it is utterly amazing to me just how much crap that my garage had somehow managed to accumulate: boxes, empty paint cans, broken hand tools and patio furniture, old BBQ pieces, junky scrap material, oddball hardware--all of it useless rubbish that did nothing but take up space. Well, last summer I finally did something about it.
I rented a much bigger dumpster bin than I thought I'd need and got to work. I stacked everything in as neatly and as efficiently as I could and, yeah, I ended up maxing that sucker out. It was a tremendous feeling to watch the rental company truck pull out of the driveway with that bin on board. And what an inspiration to walk back into my decongested garage! I have so many future project ideas and a lot of reclaimed space in which to do them.
Ok, basement, you're next! I'm going to get another bin this year and say goodbye to all the boxes and bags of old clothing, defunct electronics, Christmas cards, kitchenware, et al. Junk. All of it.
To anyone out there who has even had the passing thought about renting a dumpster and decluttering your life: do it! Feels good, man.
