Hoarding: A Real Issue That Portable Storage Solutions Can Help With

Published: September 08, 2020

We’ve all seen the TV shows where professionals must come into a home to help hoarders eliminate mountains of accumulated papers, gadgets, and worse.

According to the Mayo Clinic, hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.

Hoarding is the extreme end of keeping too many things of little or no use in your home, garage, or shed. Most of us are not suffering from this ailment, but many still keep too much in space that could be better used.

Some tips for a neater life:

• If you haven’t used something in a year, get rid of it.
• Break the job of cleaning out your home into manageable increments – maybe 15 to 30 minutes a day.
• Closets bursting with old clothing are ready to be culled. Donate, throw away, but do it.
