5 Easy Tips to Keep Your Garage Tidy
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.

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
