GARAGE CLEAN OUT - PREP FOR SALE
Clearing the Clutter – The ReOrg Action! Way
After 20+ years of accumulation, this garage was overflowing with forgotten tools, old paint cans, holiday décor, and long-outgrown gear. The ReOrg Action! team brought in a full-service plan: sorting, hauling, coordinating Goodwill etc, and consignment runs, scheduling dump and hazmat disposal, and overseeing painting, final deep cleaning and home styling. With trusted vendors and a hardworking crew, the transformation was done in record time.
Clearing the Clutter: Dump, Hazmat, Donation Centers (like Goodwill), Online Selling & Consignment Runs — plus Painting, Home & Interior Design, and Final Deep Cleaning — all accomplished with ReOrg Action! Our team members and vetted vendors tackle every step with a signature Get It Done attitude.
Many gently used, no-longer-needed items are thoughtfully sorted and directed to nonprofits that support individuals transitioning out of homelessness, survivors of domestic violence, single parents rebuilding stability, and those reentering the workforce — such as Make It Home and other community-based programs throughout Marin County. Items that are broken, outdated, or unsafe are responsibly recycled, hauled, or disposed of following sustainable guidelines.
