Do you Really Need That Self-Storage Unit In San Diego?

Did you know that 8.96% of households in the United States rent a self-storage unit? And did you know that 67 percent of those who do live in single-family houses have a garage, and 33 percent have a basement?

According to the Self Storage Association, the bulk of these self-storage consumers rent for a long period of time—more than 52 percent rented for a year or more.

Consider how often you or your friends use a self-storage facility if you or they have one. Probably not often, if at all. That means you’re not only paying to buy things you don’t need or use, but you’re also paying a monthly fee to keep them. So, what exactly does this imply? We have an excessive amount of belongings!

This is where Junk Removal And Hauling can help.

What To Do Before You Rent A Self-Storage Unit

Take a critical look at the stuff you wish to store in a self-storage unit before you consider renting one. Do you have any antiques in your family that you plan to hand on to the next generation? Do you have equipment or files from a business you own or run that you need to store somewhere else than your office? These are all compelling reasons to rent a storage unit.

Have your stacks of boxes, on the other hand, overrun the basement and attic storage areas? Is it really possible to get your car into the garage these days? Many people keep accumulating things because they believe, “Someday, I’ll use it.” The heaps eventually grow overpowering and are difficult to manage. So they build up, higher and higher, leaving you thinking, “I should do something about that,” but never finding the time or energy to do so.

The general rule is that you won’t need it if you haven’t used it in a year. Before you end up needing a self-storage container, go through your belongings and determine what you can truly let go of. Then call Junk Removal And Hauling to get it removed. We are not simply going to the landfill and throwing it away. We thoroughly inspect each collection to remove anything that may be repurposed or recycled, and we present you with a tax-deductible gift receipt.

What To Do After You’ve Rented A Self-Storage Unit

We can also help you clean out your self-storage unit if you have already rented one. You can sort through stuff yourself or have us take the full shebang and go through the same culling process to find absolutely re-usable or repurposed items.

It’s comforting to know that you can just call and have someone else do the heavy lifting for you. We’ll send out a Junk Removal And Hauling team and one of our big red dump trucks to quickly clear out that storage unit. There will be no more monthly fees for products that are merely gathering dust.

You’ll also feel good about donating stuff to someone who could benefit from them. Junk Removal And Hauling partners with a number of charities that would be grateful to receive your donations.

Have Too Much Stuff? Contact Junk Removal And Hauling

Let us leave you with this last statistic if that isn’t enough to get you inspired to get rid of that extra stuff. According to the Self Storage Association, the contents of more than 155,000 self-storage units are auctioned off annually for an average price of $425 by customers who simply abandon them and stop paying the self-storage fees. This translates to more than $65 million in revenue for self-storage companies from customers who couldn’t deal with their belongings any longer.
