We’re your local junk removal artists. We’re basically Da Vinci, but if Da Vinci hauled junk instead of making paintings. With our experience in hauling all sorts of junk (see our What We Take page for more info), you can count on us to make short work of that storage unit. Before too long, it’ll be back to normal again. Here's a rundown of items we can whisk away in no time.
When we show up at the location of your storage unit, we’ll take some time to assess the job before we provide you with an upfront, no-obligation quote. Once you’ve approved this, we begin sorting through the contents of your storage unit. We’ll help you decide what’s good to keep and to recycle, donate, or dispose of. Still, here's a breakdown of how you make the clutter in your storage unit vanish!
There are different ways to clean out a storage unit depending on how many items you have and their condition.
This is one of the best ways to clean your storage unit while preserving the environment and helping needy people. Whether you are cleaning out clothes, electronics, furniture, toys, or decor pieces, there are many places that take donations.
You can contact a local thrift store or shelter or look up other local organizations that take donations of your items.
Before donating, however, ensure the items are in good shape. It would help if you also cleaned them to avoid the chances of transferring dirt or pests.
When sorting items to donate, have several labeled boxes indicating what the things are and where you want to donate them. That makes it easier for you when delivering them or when the organizations come to pick them up.
Before donating, you can have friends and family review the items to check out the ones they want to keep.
Selling the items from your storage unit is an effective way to clear space and make extra money. There are numerous platforms to sell used things online in different conditions, like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. You can also sell the whole unit via an auction company.
Ensure you list the conditions of the items and take clear pictures when posting to increase the chances of selling. Alternatively, you can host a garage sale. You can also ask your store manager if they have the option to hold a flea market where you can sell your items.
If you have a few items in your storage unit or are not in a hurry to clean it out, you can take on the project. Here are tips to help you make the process easier and faster.
TAKE INVENTORY
Go through everything in the storage unit and write down everything on a list in categories, for example, toys, furniture, electronics, appliances, and clothes. That makes it easier to track the items and sort them.
GET HELP
Cleaning a storage unit alone can be challenging, and it increases the chances of you stopping halfway and returning days later. With people to help you, you will have the necessary motivation, making the job go by faster.
Get friends and family members to help, and assign each of them a role in different steps, to ensure no delays. Also, it is better to get more help than you need.
CREATE TIME AND GET ALL THE SUPPLIES
After understanding how many items you have and the people willing to help, assign a day with calm weather for the project. You should also have all the necessary supplies, like boxes, cleaning supplies, and protective items like gloves and masks.
CREATE SPACE AND SORT THE ITEMS
You can create a working space inside the storage space or move the items outside. A large working space makes working more manageable and reduces the chances of damaging or breaking objects. Next, sort the things in the unit into the ones you want to keep, sell, throw away, or donate.
CLEAN THE STORAGE UNIT
Remove the cobwebs, sweep the walls and shelves, and mop the floor. Ensure you use commercial cleaning products to remove dust and stains.
This is one of the best ways to clear out your storage unit faster and eliminate the stress of getting rid of the items. Storage cleanout companies usually remove the items from the storage unit, sort the things, clean the storage unit, organize the items you want to keep and dispose of the ones you don't want.
When hiring a storage cleanout company, consider their experience, expertise, cost, disposal methods, cleanout durations, customer reviews, and whether they are a local company.
A storage unit cleanout shouldn’t wipe out your wallet. With Junk Smiths, you can get an inexpensive price for the services you need, and that’s something you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. We’ve got both professionalism and reasonable prices. It’s basically the best of both worlds, really!
Our jobs are priced according to the volume of junk that winds up in our truck. Plus, our upfront quotes always inform you about the final price before we even begin working. What if we wind up overquoting you? Simple, we’ll rebate the difference. Anything to leave you satisfied.
