What to do when visitor leaves behind their property?

A friend of mine had no place to live a couple months ago, so I let him crash on my couch. It was only supposed to be for a week, which turned into 2 months. I gave him conditions to stay because everyone was telling me he was grossly taking advantage of me. Finally, a couple weeks ago, I reached my breaking point and told him he was no longer welcome at my house. Unfortunately, he still has not come to pick up his stuff–he filled my garage with his boxes, and my patio with his mattresses and boxspring. I am tired of housing it all for him, but I am not sure what I can or can not do legally. He was never a roommate- did not pay rent or anything. He was just a guest. Does anyone know what rules apply?

You need to contact legal aid in your town to see what you can do, but I’d find out his address and send him a registered, certified letter giving him a certain amount of time to get his belongings, then I would box everything up and give it to good will.
Tell him to pick them up or you will sell it in a garage sale because it’s on your property.
