 If you are like most people, the new year is a time for renewal, resolutions, and getting a fresh start. And nothing symbolizes a fresh start better than decluttering your life and your living space. But in the rush to get rid of junk in our homes we can easily forget the junk in our rented self-storage units.

In fact, if you are one of the roughly 10% of Americans renting a storage unit, odds are your's is full of un-wanted or un-needed junk.

Most people who rent storage units find that they eventually get pretty full. More often than not, when that happens it is difficult to find what they're looking for. And organizing the mess becomes next to impossible with the small space they must work in.

So, if you're taking the time to declutter now, then it's a good time to clean out and haul away the junk in your storage unit, too!

Self-Storage in the USA

Have you ever wondered how many storage units are there in America?

According to Union Realtime, there were over 43,000 storage units in the United States back in 2015. However, self-storage construction topped out at $124 million at the end of 2015. In the last two years, an additional $548 million worth of self-storage facility construction has been completed. That's more than a 400 percent increase!

These units combined are bring in about $37.5 billion in revenue for the self-storage industry.

Typically, if the renter or owner of a unit defaults on payments or abandons it, the storage facility is allowed to auction off the contents of a unit to the highest bidder. This usually means that the bidder buys whatever is behind the metal door "sight unseen."

And even if they have an auction like those showcased on "Storage Wars" and other shows, there is often a great deal still left to be disposed of.

When these events occur, the storage facility owner or manager is often left with the job of clearing out the abandoned units so that they can be rented out again. Unfortunately, occupied, but abandoned, storage units represent a loss of revenue for the facility owners.

In fact, when storage these owners or managers are left with a unit full of junk abandoned by old tenants, the job of getting it unloaded and hauled away falls on them. They are the ones who must deal with defaulted leases, discarded junk, and any items that went unsold at an auction.
