At BinBuddy, we’ve seen enough garages to know that this is easily one of the most prone areas to excess junk and clutter!
We’ve got 5 easy to follow tips to keep your garage neat, tidy and organised:
Make Use of Vertical Space – Wall-mounted shelves, hooks, pegboards and cupboards are excellent for storing items and keeping smaller items off the floor. This ensures you have adequate space for your vehicle/s and larger items.
Make Use of Ceiling Storage – Make use of overhead space by installing hooks and racks where you can store items that you don’t use frequently.
Keep Pathways Clear – Avoid blocking entrances and exits and be sure to keep your floor clear of clutter to prevent accidents and allow easy access.
Organise Like Items – Use storage bins and labels where possible to keep similar items together. This makes finding items quick and easy. Also aim to group together larger similar items eg. Gardening tools and equipment to maintain a sense of order.
Clean Regularly – Make sure to clean regularly to avoid excess dust, dirt and clutter. Take the time to review items and sell, donate or discard accordingly.

Mail Delivered to wrong person
Hi,
I received a letter addressed to WenXig Zhao for my address in Wattledowns a couple of weeks ago and still haven't found the owner.
There is no return address and no stamp so hand delivered.
Does anyone know of this person?
If not, what is the next action - bin it? or open it and see if I can find another means of contacting them or the writer?

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?
A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
