Clean And Organize Your Storage Unit With A Junk Contractor in Springfield Missouri
Do you have a storage unit? When was the last time you got something out of it? When you do need to get inside of it, how easy is it to find the things that you have stored in there?
There’s been a fair amount of research done on the storage unit industry. Who rents them, how long they rent them for, etc.
When reading through this research, it’s clear that it’s a very profitable business to own, because most people who rent storage units and pay their fees every month, don’t really use them. So if you’re not actively using your storage unit, then why have that added monthly expense?
Maybe it would make more sense to hire a junk contractor in Springfield Missouri to help you get your storage unit cleaned and organized. Once you’re done, you might be fine with a smaller, less expensive storage unit or you might not even need one at all.
And if you do still need a storage unit, it will be much easier to find something once you’ve gotten rid of a lot of the junk and have it better organized. Here’s some statistics to consider:
9.4% of U.S. households rent a storage unit. That may not sound like much, but that’s nearly 31 million people in the United States that are renting space to hold their “extra things”.
67% of people who rent storage units live in single-family homes that have a garage and 33% of those people also have a basement. That means nearly 21 million people who rent storage units have garages and another 10-11 million of those people also have basements.
If you have a garage and a basement, then you most likely already have quite a bit of storage in your home. If you were better organized, would you really need to be paying an extra monthly fee for a storage unit?
52% of storage unit renters rent have had their unit for a year or more. That means over half the people aren’t just using a temporary storage unit for a couple of months while moving to a new location. The items in these storage units are likely out of sight and out of mind, so people keep on paying that monthly fee every month.
So what do all these statistics mean? There are lots of people out there including some people who might reading this blog right now that should pick up the phone and call a junk contractor like Dog Gone Junk.
If you have items that have been sitting in your storage unit for over a year, there’s a solid chance that some of those items could easily be disposed of and you would never miss them.
Or if you got a little more organized with the items that you have stored in your garage and basement, you might be able to get rid of that storage unit altogether and put those monthly rental fees back in your pocket.
The national average for a storage unit per month is $88.85 and some people are paying a lot more than that. With a one time fee to get better organized, you could get rid of enough junk that you don’t need to pay for a storage unit at all or be fine with a smaller unit.
