Peter is helping us out with something that nearly everyone can relate to – dealing with the unsorted photos taking up space on your phone or languishing in boxes in your home.

“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.

Boxes of unsorted photos can feel overwhelming to organise so they often get left for many years to clutter up our houses. In addition to this, most of us have smartphones that make it easy to take photos anywhere, so pretty soon our digital photo life becomes cluttered too.

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.


These 5 simple, yet effective techniques are guaranteed to help you get organised and tidy and help you keep that momentum. It’s also helpful in preventing build-up of clutter!

Remember, if you need help with excess junk and rubbish, we can help! Fast, friendly and efficient junk and rubbish removal to make your life easier and help you reclaim your space!

Please follow our top tips to reduce the risk of mail theft:
✉️ Clear your letterbox in a timely manner
✉️ Put a hold on your mail delivery if you’re going away
✉️ Provide clear delivery instructions for couriers to leave a package safely hidden or secured within your property
✉️ Install security cameras and/or security camera messaging near your letterbox or front of property
✉️ Where practical, consider click and collect over delivery
✉️ Send parcels to a work address or ensuring you're home when they arrive
✉️ Contact Police (111 for immediate issues or 105 if it is after the fact) if you see people loitering around vehicles or looking into car windows
✉️ Engage in neighbourhood groups so more people can keep an eye out for suspicious activity

These tips are being shared after a 44-year-old woman will appear in Pukekohe District Court on 28 March charged with theft.
An alleged mail thief in the Pukekohe area has hand-delivered herself into Police, following assistance from the community.
Counties Manukau South Senior Sergeant MJ Riddle says Police were aware of locals discussing a mail theft on social media. A report was made to Police at the time in January and had included enough detail including CCTV footage and a vehicle of interest. Following Police enquiries, the woman has brought herself into the Pukekohe Police Station a few days later

“This is a great result for the community and a timely reminder to the public to continue reporting any thefts from letterboxes.”
Senior Sergeant Riddle says
“Our community should be able to receive parcels and mail without concern of interference but unfortunately there are people in our communities who take advantage of opportunities to commit thefts from mail boxes and front porches."

“We encourage anyone who has been the victim of dishonesty offending to report it as soon as possible,” she says."
