Keeping the Car Clutter Free

Like the rest of the home, the car, too, can be organized to make your travel time a bit more relaxing.

1. When putting gas in the car, empty out the trash. (Not while the gas is pumping – safety first!)


2. When arriving at home, remove all items from the car that do not belong in the car – coffee mugs, soda cans, water bottles, children’s games/toys (unless they are containerized and are used for travel time entertainment only), etc – and return them to their rightful home.


3. Convenient items to keep in the car: first aid kit, phone book, coupons, snacks, items needed for errands, such as, purchases to be returned/exchanged, library books to be returned, and of course, maps.


4. Have a wastebasket (Velcro on the bottom of a small wastebasket will hold it in place) or a bag (looped over the arm of a seat) available for garbage.
