Storage Unit Cleanouts

In 2021, the self-storage rental market was valued at $51.32 billion. Financial analysts expect the value to reach over $64 billion by 2026. There are an estimated 51,026 storage facilities with a combined 2.04 billion square feet of space in the United States. American consumers spend an average of $150 per month ($1,800 per year) for a 10×10 storage unit.

Self-storage units are utilized by consumers when onsite storage is not available. Tenants residing in apartments, flats, and condominiums are more likely to utilize self-storage services. However, homeowners and businesses rent self-storage units as well.

Self-Storage Cleanout In Seattle

The cost of storage rental is soaring throughout Seattle. It is not unusual for consumers to periodically add another item to the load. Consumers are oftentimes shocked by how quickly the storage unit filled up. By the time, consumers are ready to empty their units, there is no room left for more items.

Self-storage cleanout is the process of cleaning out the unit. If the plan is to end the contract, the stored items must be moved to a new location. Cleaning out a small- or medium-sized unit could take between two and three hours to complete. This is not to mention, hauling the stored items to a new storage unit or the customer’s home.

Our storage cleanout service is available to all Seattle consumers. Call our office today to schedule a free estimate.

Greenest Disposal Methods For Self-Storage Units

• Donation – Used items in good working condition can help a family in need. Nonprofits like Salvation Army and Goodwill accept physical items, such as used appliances, furniture, exercise equipment, toys, clothes, footwear, handbags, children’s backpacks, school uniforms, and desktop computers. Donated items are sold to help their cause or given to local families in need
• Yard Sale – A green disposal method for self-storage items is garage-selling. Consumers can dispose of their unwanted items without harming the environment and earn extra cash in the process. Consumers get a fair deal on secondhand items, sellers earn extra cash, and the stored items are kept out of the landfill. It is a win-win for all parties
• Recycle – Consider recycling eligible items like lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, cell phones, magazines, plastic toys, tires, stainless-steel silverware, glass canning jars, metal outdoor furniture, wood easels, and glass dishes. Non-recyclable items include used windows, ceramic dishes, mirrors, pottery, electric cords, rubber toys, and kitchenware
• Appliance Repair Service – Used appliance repair service providers are known to accept non-working refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, heating & air conditioning units, humidifiers, and stoves. Most repair services offer free pickup for all secondhand appliance donations
• Friend And Family – Ask around to see if any of your friends, co-workers, family members, classmates, or neighbors are interested in any of the stored items
• Curbside Pickup – A great way to get rid of unwanted items with little to no effort is through curbside pickup. Place ads in your local newspaper, on social media, and on online classified advertisement websites. Locals will pick up the items throughout the day. Leftover items can be donated to a local charity.

DIY Self-Storage Cleanout Tips

• Enlist family members, friends, and other acquaintances to help with the cleanout
• If the self-storage facility does not have an onsite dumpster, it may be possible to rent one. Seek approval from the management team before renting a dumpster. In this case, it is better to be safe than sorry
• Keep a list of stored items
• Create four separate piles for recyclables, junk, donation, and items you plan to keep
• Rent or borrow a dolly to move large items like appliances, TVs, and furniture
• Hire a junk removal team to deal with unwanted and recyclable items
