If you're like most folks, you already have too much stuff and too little storage space. And, like many others, you'll probably have more stuff after the holidays. So what will you do?

For many people, the garage is simply extra storage space. And, if you are like most people in America with a garage,k you probably don't use it to park your car. In fact, it's been estimated that less than 20 percent of homeowners and renters in the United States use their garages for parking cars.

For most homes, the garage is often a built-in storage unit. The problem is that the items that we store often end up just becoming junk that we need to get rid of.

The truth is that for many of us, the family garage is just a place to pile up our stuff. In fact, it's been estimated that less than 20 percent of homeowners and renters in the United States use their garages to park their cars in. This is not because we prefer to keep our cars parked out in the elements during the day and overnight. It's because most of us have no room in our garages for a car, let alone two!

Sometimes you find that all the junk you've been paying to keep in a self-storage unit month after month is just that: junk. And now you might need a junk removal service to help with the task.

While you might be tempted to simply abandon the goods and stop paying the rent, this is probably not the best - or most legal - option. In fact, when storage facility managers discover that items have been left behind by old tenants, the task of getting everything loaded up and hauled away usually falls on them.

Self-storage is a great boon for Americans since it provides a clean, safe space for all that extra stuff. But when it they get too full, it's time to clean out and haul away the junk.

Most of us who rent storage units find that they eventually get pretty full. And, more often than not, when that happens it is difficult to find what you're looking for. Organizing the mess becomes next to impossible with the small spaces to work in.

One of the common problems for most homes is storage space. After junk removal, finding places to keep everything can be a challenge. Especially in the garage.

If you park your car (or cars!) in your garage you are one of the few in America who do. It has been estimated that less than 20 percent of homeowners and renters in the United States use their garages for parking cars. Instead, most of us use the garage as an attached "storage unit."

When storage facility managers discover junk left behind by old tenants, the task of getting everything loaded up and hauled away usually falls on them. Even if there is an auction not everything always goes. Eventually, self-storage facility owners or managers must deal with defaulted leases, discarded junk, and items that went unsold at auction.
