You know, that place where you stash everything and anything that doesn\u2019t have a more specific home in your house. Even with the best intentions of staying organized, most families still find themselves with at least one <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The so-called offenders in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may range from loose batteries (that may or may not work) to paperclips, keys, pens and pencils, gum, mints, candy, spare change, scraps of paper, business cards, and countless other items that can often be classified as, well, junk.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognizing the dilemma of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the first step. If these items were so valuable and useful, they likely wouldn\u2019t be hidden away in a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Most are likely just the casualties of a busy life with little time to organize as well as you\u2019d like.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thankfully, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer organization<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> isn\u2019t as difficult or time-consuming as you might believe.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we\u2019ll review <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to organize a junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in nine simple steps. So put on some good music or your favorite podcast, give yourself at least an hour, and get to work <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cleaning out your junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"494\" class=\"wp-image-4539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/EmptyJunkDrawer-524381522.jpg\" alt=\"Woman hand open drawer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/EmptyJunkDrawer-524381522.jpg 741w, https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/EmptyJunkDrawer-524381522-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean Out Your Junk Drawer<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t begin organizing your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> until you know what you\u2019re working with.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Remove everything from the drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or remove the whole drawer if you prefer. Put all the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> items on a flat surface, like a kitchen table, and systematically determine the fate of each item.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now is also an excellent time to actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clean<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Most likely, that drawer bottom hasn\u2019t seen the light of day in some time. Use a damp cloth or wet wipe to clean up dirt, dust, and whatever other gunk has made a home in your drawer. If you want to keep your drawer cleaner for longer, add some shelf liner before refilling your drawer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2. Throw Away, Give Away, or Keep<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to go full Marie Kondo on all the items laid out before you. For each item, decide whether to keep it, give it away, or throw it away. If you can, give away as many items as possible rather than throwing them away. Look for friends or family members who need that extra onion slicer or that Uno game still in the box. You can also bring items to your local donation center. Take a moment to enjoy this step. It can be so satisfying to toss out unneeded receipts or takeout menus from restaurants that closed two years ago.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3. Put Away Anything That Already Has a Home<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your busy day-to-day life, you might simply toss items into your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that actually go somewhere else in your home. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Missing game pieces, spare change, and batteries all make for an easy win when you reunite them with the rest of their kind.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4. Use Drawer Dividers<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drawer dividers can be wooden, plastic, or even paper pieces that split your drawer into clean horizontal or vertical sections. You can find plenty of different dividers online, including adjustable dividers that can fit many different-sized drawers. Dividers make <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">organizing your junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> easy. They work great for kitchen drawers, sock drawers, and desk drawers. Use dividers to group <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pens, keys, mini flashlights, and other odds and ends<\/span><\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"494\" class=\"wp-image-4540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/JunkDrawer-945347386.jpg\" alt=\"Cluttered kitchen drawer filled with a confusing jumble of everyday objects.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/JunkDrawer-945347386.jpg 741w, https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/JunkDrawer-945347386-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5. Use a Modular Organizer<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modular trays with pre-designed segments can help you group and arrange the items in your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Use them in the office by putting all your paperclips in one bin, your scissors in another, and your staples in a small unit in the corner. Just make sure to measure your drawer and buy a modular unit that fits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 6. Use Separate Organization Bins<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A modular drawer organizer may not be the best fit for every type of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you want more freedom to arrange items of unique sizes, buy an organization kit that contains a variety of different-sized bins. These kits usually include plastic or wooden bins that you can fit, Tetris-style, in your drawer. Need a long bin to hold your chopsticks and a small, square bin for batteries? Separate bin kits are a great option. These kits are ideal if you have multiple<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> junk drawers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and need more than one solution.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 7. Gather Tiny Contents <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nto a \u201cJunk Jar\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of our favorite <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer organization<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ideas is the junk jar.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A washed jam or spaghetti sauce jar works great for this purpose. Here you can stash buttons, missing pieces of things, and small, unknown objects until they\u2019re needed <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or deemed unnecessary and discarded<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 8. Create a Binder of Important Documents and Paperwork<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than leaving papers willy-nilly, organize everything in a binder so you always know where it is. You can include menus from all the local takeout restaurants in a plastic envelope in the binder. Keep any gift cards or gift certificates safely tucked inside another envelope. Print out meal-planning schedules and other things to help you simplify daily life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 9. Keep Your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Junk Drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s Clean<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organizing a junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes time and effort, so don\u2019t let all your hard work go to waste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commit to maintaining<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> order in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After you\u2019ve installed <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an organizer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, work hard to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keep your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uncluttered<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the weeks and months to come. Avoid putting unimportant items in the drawer going forward.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"494\" class=\"wp-image-4541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/OrganizeJunkDrawer-76038219.jpg\" alt=\"Arranged office supply in drawer of desk, elevated view\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/OrganizeJunkDrawer-76038219.jpg 741w, https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/OrganizeJunkDrawer-76038219-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep Up the Organizing Momentum<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">know<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to organize your junk drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, keep up the good work.

Do you need to finally get that extra car out of your driveway?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider private, personal storage to free up some space throughout all the rooms of your home.
