National Give Something Away Day is July 15 — Here’s How to Celebrate (and Why It Feels So Good)
Summer is all about opening up: open doors, open schedules, open spaces. But if you’re like most of us, the one thing not feeling so open is… your garage, that spare room, or the closet you’ve been ignoring since spring.
National Give Something Away Day, coming up on July 15, is the perfect moment to finally shift that energy.
It’s not just about getting rid of things. It’s about making space to breathe, giving your forgotten items a second life, and feeling that immediate rush of relief when you finally let go of what’s been holding you back.
Why celebrate now?
We all know the “someday” mentality: I’ll sort through that later. But summer flies by, and before you know it, “later” turns into next year.
Starting now means no panic, no guilt bags hidden in the car, and no more wasted weekends avoiding the mess. You’ll have a real plan — and a real payoff.
Your day-by-day plan to get there
✅ July 7: Choose your battleground
Take five minutes today. Walk through your house or property. Write down two areas that would make you feel instantly lighter if they were cleared out. That’s your focus — no more vague promises.
✅ July 8: Pull the obvious
Grab the no-brainers:
• Clothes you haven’t worn in over a year.
• Extra tools you forgot you had.
• Old decor that just doesn’t fit anymore.
Box it up quickly. Today is about fast wins, not debates.
✅ July 9: Hit the hiding spots
Check the garage shelves, attic bins, or that spare room closet. We all have the “later” piles — today is “later.”
✅ July 10: Face the tough corner
Pick that one zone you keep avoiding. The deep shelf, the back of the storage unit, the “miscellaneous” bin. Just start — progress beats perfection every time.
✅ July 11: Find the forgotten
Under beds, behind boxes, way up on top shelves. Grab at least three things you haven’t seen or used in a year.
✅ July 12: Get the whole crew in
Family, roommates, or your team — challenge each person to find three items they can live without. Make it a mini competition. The more eyes, the more you uncover.
✅ July 13: Sort and prep
Today is about final prep:
• Fold, clean, and wipe down items.
• Make sure electronics work.
• Stack everything neatly and label it “Giveaway.”
✅ July 14: Lock in the plan
Pick where your items are going. Confirm drop-off hours or schedule your pick-up. Add it to your calendar for tomorrow — no excuses.
✅ July 15: Deliver and breathe
Drop off your items and feel that immediate sense of space, relief, and accomplishment. It’s not just about a cleaner garage — it’s about the energy shift you’ll feel every time you walk into your newly cleared space.
Why it matters
This isn’t just about getting rid of stuff. It’s about creating space for what matters most — more room to host, more room to work, more room to live.
And when you pass these items forward, they become a blessing to someone else — a family starting fresh, a local shelter, or a neighbor who needs exactly what you no longer do.
Where we come in
Sometimes you start small and end up realizing you’re ready to go big. The pile in the garage isn’t just a pile — it’s a full-blown project. The yard debris, the half-finished renovation scraps, the leftover materials…
That’s when TrashHelp steps in.
We work with homeowners, HOAs, property managers, and businesses across South Florida, Central Florida, and the Gulf Coast, making those big, heavy, “where do I even start?” projects easy to finish.
And to make your summer reset even better, we’re giving you one more reason to get moving.
