When you are cleaning out your home, whether you are preparing for a move, a renovation, or simply decluttering, you might run into the dilemma of working out what to do with all of the items you come across. Some will end up in the trash. Others might end up in donation centers. For those who are looking to clean up but not get rid of their belongings, US Storage Centers offers Alhambra self-storage units. Though it’s not always easy to know what to do with the items you come across during your cleanup, if you ask the following questions about your possessions, you will be able to make this task a lot easier for yourself. What Condition Is It In? Take a critical look at every item you plan on packing and ask yourself truthfully about its condition. If the item’s in anything less than good condition, or if it can’t be used again for any practical purpose, it may be best to toss it. Used items in working condition can be donated, but if they hold sentimental attachment or you anticipate using this item in the future, it can be a perfect item you store in your self-storage. Do you Use It? If you can’t remember the last time you used an item, it’s probably best to let it go. This is true of any type of item, whether it’s a small appliance, a piece of furniture, or an article of clothing. If you don’t use it now but it’s in good enough condition for use in the future, we recommend packing it in your storage unit. If it breakable, be sure to use protective wrap or even consider heavy duty containers made of plastic or metal instead of just cardboard. Do you Have a Duplicate? As we move through life, we often accumulate duplicates of certain items. For example, you might find that you have two coffee makers or five televisions when you only regularly use two. Many people who have more than one of a particular item will commonly turn to our storage centers to keep it for their families or others during times of need or to keep it safe until their other item breaks, gets lost, or can’t be used anymore.
