Ideas for Cleaning the Basement?

My son is moving back in and I need ideas to get the basement straightened up to put his stuff in it. It's a mess and I have all kinds of things in there from Christmas items to gardening stuff (decorations). There is lots of junk for a rummage sale and whatever, also. I have shelves and such already down there already. Any quick easy ideas for me will help.

I've used inexpensive garbage bins from the Dollar General to organise things like Christmas and Halloween decorations, fabric stash (I sew), even emergency supplies when I lived in Hurricane Central (SouthEast AL).

The bins are wheeled, which made rearranging them easier. I used duct tape and a Sharpie pen to label each one.

I have found the most important thing to do is eliminate extra "stuff"
Donate it or have a sale. This gives empty space in which to organize the items you actually need/use so they can be put away properly.

Also, I like the clear plastic bins so I can see what types of items are inside, but I still label them too.
