There is no time like the present to get organized. For those who are living with more items than they need, are surrounded by clutter, and would like to create more physical space in their home, there are three options: toss, donate, or store. When looking into renting a storage unit of your own, consider the advantages of these three organizational items. They will be able to help you know what to do with your things and why renting the storage units Phoenix from US Storage Centers is a great idea. Cleaning Up Your Home - What You Should Toss Whether you are cleaning out your drawers, the garage, or your closet, there are several thing you should just throw away. These types of items include: Damaged or broken items Perishables that have gone bad Parts of a whole (i.e. games that are missing pieces, tupperware that don’t have lids, etc.) Anything else that may be considered junk or trash You shouldn’t store these items in a personal storage unit, as they not only unnecessarily take up space but also keep all of your spaces clean and sanitized. To make the most of your Phoenix storage unit’s space, remember to only fill it with items that matter to you. Items You Should Definitely Store Items that you should definitely put in your storage unit in Phoenix include any seasonal or sports clothing that you have, extra furniture (that is in good condition), collections, items that carry sentimental value, and anything else that you know you want to keep and will use in the future, but are not using now. The list may also include clothing items - such as baby clothes for anticipated children, maternity clothing, or post-pregnancy clothes - sports equipment, or even recreational vehicles you aren’t currently using. Giving to Charity Of course, you do not have to store or toss everything in your home that is taking up space. You can also donate some of your belongings. For example, if you have a couch that is in OK shape but that you know you will not use again, you may consider donating it. You can also donate lightly used clothing that no longer fits or is in style, kitchen goods, sports equipment, and other home furnishing items. This reduces the amount of space you need to rent for your storage unit and reduces clutter both in your home an in your self-storage. Don’t Get Rid of It Just Yet One of the biggest benefits of renting a storage unit in Phoenix is that if you are on the fence about an item, you do not have to get rid of it just yet. Instead, you can put it in storage while you consider whether or not you really have to keep it. A general rule of thumb on whether or not to keep something is to allow six months to pass and then reevaluate. If you are still on the fence about the item or know you won’t need it again, then you can clear it from your storage unit. If you decide in that time that it is actually important, it can remain safe in your storage unit.
