"The weather is starting to warm up, and this is the perfect time to get your garage organized so that you can enjoy a hassle-free season. We have a few helpful tips to help you get started," said Steve Yapp, owner of PODS Santa Barbara.

Here are a few organizing tips to get you started on the right foot:

Start with a clean slate. Take everything out of the garage and map out the best places to store your items efficiently.

Declutter, donate and pitch. Sift through all your items and arrange them into piles labeled keep, donate, or pitch. That way, you can start organizing your garage with only the items you use regularly.

Plastic bin organization. Label large plastic bins for smaller items like sports equipment, tools, and toys. Having a specific place for each category makes life much easier when it comes to finding what you need.

Repurpose. Use old plastic piping to store gardening tools like shovels, rakes, and picks. Just cut the pipes into small sections and screw them onto a slat of wood; this will keep your tools upright and out of sight.
