Storage Unit Cleanouts in Rexburg & Southeastern Idaho

How long have you been paying monthly rent on a storage unit you haven’t visited in over a year? Six months? Two years? Five? You’re not alone. Millions of Americans pay for storage units they rarely open, filled with stuff they’ve already forgotten about. At some point, the monthly bill outweighs the value of what’s inside — and that point was probably a while ago.

ShapeUpIdaho helps homeowners, families, and businesses across Rexburg and Southeastern Idaho stop the bleeding. We show up at the storage facility, empty the unit, and save you from another month of paying rent on things you’ll never use.

The Storage Unit Trap

Storage units start out as a temporary solution. You’re between moves. You’re downsizing. You inherited some furniture. You just need a place to put things “for a little while.” But temporary has a way of becoming permanent, and before you know it, you’ve spent more in monthly rent than the contents of the unit are worth.

Here’s the math most people don’t want to do: A $100/month storage unit costs $1,200 a year. After three years, that’s $3,600 — for a unit full of furniture and boxes that might be worth $500 on a good day. Getting the unit cleaned out isn’t just about the stuff. It’s about stopping a financial leak.

Why People Keep Paying

We get it. The reasons people hold onto storage units are the same reasons they hold onto stuff in their homes:

• “I might need it someday.” Maybe, but probably not. And even if you do, replacing it will cost less than the rent you’ve paid.
• “I don’t have time to deal with it.” That’s why we exist. We’ll deal with it for you.
• “There might be something valuable in there.” There might be. We’ll help you sort through it and keep anything worth keeping.
• “It’s too much work.” Not for us. We’ve cleaned out hundreds of storage units. We’ll have it done in a matter of hours.

What Comes Out of Storage Units

Every storage unit is a time capsule. Here’s what we typically find when we open those roll-up doors:

• Furniture — Couches, tables, dressers, bed frames, and chairs that were replaced years ago.
• Boxes upon boxes — Packed during a move and never opened again. Kitchen supplies, books, photo albums, toys, clothing, and random household items.
• Electronics — Old TVs, computers, stereo equipment, and other devices that are now outdated.
• Mattresses — Stored “just in case” and now musty, stained, or otherwise unusable.
• Seasonal items — Holiday decorations, camping gear, and sporting equipment taking up premium rental space.
• Sentimental items — Family heirlooms, photos, and keepsakes mixed in with everything else. We handle these carefully and always check with you.

Who Needs Storage Unit Cleanouts

We work with a variety of clients on storage unit cleanouts:

Individuals and Families

This is our most common client for storage cleanouts. You rented the unit for a reason that made sense at the time, and now you want it gone. We get it. We’ll meet you at the facility, help you pull out anything you want to keep, and haul away everything else.

Estate Representatives

When a loved one passes, their storage unit is often one of the last things the family deals with. The contents may be completely unknown. We approach these cleanouts with the same sensitivity we bring to our estate cleanouts — sorting carefully and checking with you before removing anything that might have value.

Storage Facility Owners

If a tenant has abandoned a unit or a lien sale has occurred, you need the space cleared and ready for a new renter. We provide fast turnaround and can handle multiple units in a single visit. We work with facilities across the Rexburg area and beyond.

Businesses

Companies sometimes rent storage units for old inventory, equipment, or records that eventually become more trouble than they’re worth. We clear out commercial units just as efficiently as residential ones. Check out our commercial junk removal page for more business-focused services.

How It Works

Our storage unit cleanout process is built for speed and simplicity.

1. Get in touch. Call (662) 666-6494 or fill out our online form. Let us know the storage facility name and location, the unit size, and a rough idea of what’s inside (if you know).

2. Meet at the facility. We’ll schedule a time to meet you at the storage unit. You open the door, we take a look, and we give you a flat-rate price on the spot. No hourly charges, no guessing.

3. Sort and save. If you want to go through the unit first and pull out keepers, we’ll give you time to do that. Or you can walk us through and point out anything you want set aside. Whatever works best for you.

4. We empty the unit. Our crew loads everything onto our trucks. Even tightly packed, floor-to-ceiling units don’t slow us down. We bring the muscle, the equipment, and the truck space to handle it in one trip whenever possible.

5. Responsible disposal. As with all our services, we sort removed items for donation and recycling. Anything in good condition goes to local organizations that can use it. Everything else is disposed of at licensed facilities.

6. Unit ready. When we’re done, the storage unit is completely empty and ready to be turned back to the facility. You stop paying rent, and that monthly charge disappears from your budget.
