The best garage shelves for heavy items are galvanized metal shelves that are reinforced at the brackets to take the weight of heavy items.
Metal shelves are a fantastic choice for garages because they are durable and generally hold a lot of weight. Since items stored in a garage are often heavy, metal shelving is a great choice. In addition, metal shelves are very easy to clean.

Mince should be stored in the meat compartment or the coldest part of the refrigerator. For long storage times, wrap mince in heavy-duty aluminum foil, freezer paper or plastic freezer bags, removing as much air as possible, and store in the freezer.
It depends partly on what the walls are made of. Books are very heavy, so shelves must be strong. I prefer to drill into the wall (preferably where studs are in a wallboard wall) and insert 3" long dowels to fit matching holes in the back of the shelves, then after inserting the shelves, fit one or two wood supports ( matching the shelves) onto the front of the shelves. I have built many bookshelves this way, my latest holding over 1,200 pounds of books on 5 shelves.
Blockboard is good for shelves because it is sturdy and provides strong support for heavy items. It has a smooth surface that is ideal for displaying various items without risk of damage. Additionally, blockboard is relatively affordable compared to other types of wood, making it a cost-effective option for shelves.
Hire a professional cleaner at least once a year for a heavy duty clean. In between professional cleaning, you should at least vacuum your carpets regularly (ideally once a day) and immediately attend to any stain (droppings and spills).
No, not really. The shelves get to heavy to just connect them to the wall, they are much more stable when resting on brackets. If you really wanted though, you could mount some poles on the floor and let the shelves rest on them.
