What’s in Your Storage & Why?
Most Common Forgotten Normal Life of Storage
(and What Your Storage Secrets Say About You)
There’s a quiet revolution happening behind those roller doors, think dust, regret, and IKEA furniture that’s seen better days.
Australians are finally asking what have I been doing all this bloody time:
“What am I even paying for in this storage unit?” If you opened yours today or even last year, would you even remember what’s inside this so called "storage unit"? We can tell you for free - absolutely not. At Shift Your Storage, we’ve seen it from sentimental keepsakes to downright useless junk that has no place in this world anymore. Here's what your forgotten storage unit reveals about you and why it might be time for a clear-out:
The Common & Unnerving Wire Jungle
Full of cables for phones, TV's, cd players, DVD players you last used between the years of 2000 - 2012, mysterious black cords, and that one wire you’re sure is important but has no idea what it connects to.
You once believed in coming back to these things in storage. Now? You’ve accepted & pushed your storage shame to the bottom of your storage consciousness.
Furniture That’s “Too Good to Throw Away”
A vintage or hand me down chair with a very wobbly leg, an old table begging for restoration or to become firewood, or a “future project” collecting dust from your "dream catching phase".
Revealing, you’ve got good taste and probably too many grand storage dreams.
Old Sports Gear (From Your Glory Years..)
Golf clubs from your Grandfather, skis from your Euro trip pre-kids (oh wasn't that a trip..), a yoga/Pilates mat that’s never been unrolled. Revealing You’re an optimist, your storage says so.
Nostalgia Boxes.. Some Of THE Hardest Items to Let Go Of..
Childhood artwork, awards, and that formal dress from Year 12. These make even the most hardened declutterer pause. Revealing you’re sentimental and maybe a little afraid of what’s inside.
The Real Cost (We mean the REAL Cost):
It’s not just cash constantly draining from your account every month, it’s mental & emotional clutter, draining baggage, and guilt for items you forgot you owned or know you own but do not use anymore. Meanwhile, your money and sanity are slowly but surely wasting away.

We’re your no-judgment storage unit breakup buddies. We inventory your unit digitally (for ease while sitting on the lounge), so you decide what stays, what goes, and what deserves a second chance (outside that forgotten and lonely storage unit).

We help you easily by:
- Donating
- Recycling
- Or making items disappear responsibly
Why are Aussies (finally thinking about) quitting storage?
Because they’re realising and quite brutally at that:
- Kids don’t want grandma’s antique dresser, her porcelain doll collection or her fabulous woolly sweaters..
- That rice cooker/steamer/George Foreman pot thingy had one job and failed miserably.
- Minimalism is back in style, on trend, on brand and just really good for the environment.
- Storage unit costs are turning guilt into ballooning guilt and sorrow!
One Last Story for our AVID storage fans:
A client hadn’t opened their storage in 11 years. Eleven! They couldn’t remember what was inside. It took a team, gloves, and a bit of digital inventory magic to sort it. Now? That storage unit is history and so are the ghosts haunting their wallet and mind.
What’s next for you?
No more direct debits or credit card hits
No more “I’ll deal with it next month” lies to yourself..
Just an empty unit, a lighter mind, and maybe some extra cash you didn't realise you had every month
