For some people, downsizing can just mean getting rid of as much of their unwanted and unnecessary belongings as possible. In fact, it can often be a way to simplify their lives and their lifestyles. And, in some cases, it can even involve property cleanouts.

For others, downsizing means circumstances have forced them to sell their homes and relocate to a smaller, less costly residence. And moving and selling on short notice often requires full property cleanouts, as well, to prepare a house for sale. 

So, whether by choice or due to unexpected events, both downsizing and property cleanouts require junk removal.

Choosing Downsizing: When Less Can Mean More

It’s probably no secret that Americans are awash in consumer goods. All of us collectively own so much stuff that we don’t have enough room in our homes to store it all. This is even more staggering when you consider that Americans have, on average, larger homes than any other people on the planet. 

Not that it was always that way. Many houses in post- WWII suburbs were quite modest, just averaging roughly 850 square feet. (And the closets were very small.) No longer! Today, the average new house constructed in the United States is approximately 2,200 square feet. 

Yet, we still don’t have enough room for all our stuff.

According to one news story,

“$38 billion is spent yearly on self-storage. Self-storage is an increasingly popular business. There are an estimated 45,000 storage facilities across the country, and new construction has tripled in the past five years. There is now an estimated 6.5 square feet of self-storage space for every person in America.”

So, it should come as no surprise that many of us are starting to question the mindless pursuit of things. While things and possessions can be enriching, beneficial, and add to life’s enjoyment, they can also be a burden.

For example, there are the concerns of your property, your personal belongings, and your valuables. In fact, the continual stress and responsibilities that come with ownership can be debilitating.

So, there’s plenty of good reasons why many people take stock of their life and their lifestyle and decide to simplify. And this can mean downsizing their possessions.

In fact, it’s been shown that having fewer possessions can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life. It can also lead to a great deal of junk removal.

You may have considered downsizing yourself lately. Between the ravages of COID-19, rising inflation, and other factors, there can be a strong appeal to shedding some stuff.

Property Cleanouts for Homeowners – When It All Must Go

Then there’s the occasional need for a property cleanout. 

As we noted already, this can be so that a recently vacated house can be prepped, cleaned, and made ready for listing. This can involve a few items left behind and assorted trash, junk, and debris that have to be cleared out of the property.

At other times, there can be circumstances that have left a house filled with discarded items, abandoned furniture, and appliances, as well as piles of clothes, bedding, and other materials. Sometimes, depending on the situation, junk removal in these conditions can even border on hazardous.

If you’re a homeowner renting your property to tenants, you may find yourself left with a mess after the previous occupants have vacated. That’s another scenario where a full property cleanout may be required.

While not nearly as common as some might think, hoarding disorder is a real and serious condition that affects close to six percent of Americans. But if you or a friend or loved one is, or might be, suffering from hoarding disorder, a property cleanout may be one of the next steps.

You may not be a hoarder, at least not by clinical standards, but maybe you have a problem with clutter. 

You know – all the stuff and junk that seems to grow like weeds and dust bunnies, even after you’ve carried out a major cleanup. Or maybe you’ve already given up trying to keep the clutter away. What is needed isn’t just another round of straightening up and trying to find a place for everything. No, what is probably needed is a thorough property cleanout. 

The truth is, if your piles of junk have gotten out of hand, then it’s time to get rid of them. But the good news is that you don’t have to do it yourself. And you especially don’t have to spend your time moving and lifting old furniture, used mattresses, or large bags of unwanted household items.

Downsizing and property cleanouts can lead to some large amounts of junk.
