Big Box Storage Donates Storage Units to LLS’s San Diego Chapter

These units were used during the annual Light the Night Walk, which took place on Friday, November 2, 2012, at Petco Park in downtown San Diego. The donated storage units helped the LLS store and organize event materials, ensuring the walk could run smoothly and efficiently.

Beyond their material donation, Big Box Storage employees and their families were also thrilled to participate in the event, walking alongside other supporters to raise awareness and funds for blood cancer research and patient support services.

Storage Auction Interest Continues to Grow

The popularity of storage auctions is on the rise, fueled by the growing fascination with the hidden treasures that might be found inside abandoned storage units. Big Box Storage, San Diego’s premier portable storage company, recently had the spotlight on one such auction at its facility. FOX News San Diego covered the event, which took place on August 7, 2012, providing an in-depth look at the excitement and competitive bidding that unfolded.

Storage auctions have gained widespread attention over the past few years, largely due to the success of reality television shows such as Storage Wars and Storage Hunters. These shows have captivated audiences by showcasing bidders competing for storage units, often uncovering valuable or unexpected items. As a result, more individuals and professional resellers are getting involved in storage auctions, hoping to turn a profit or discover unique finds.

The Big Box Storage auction drew a mix of seasoned bidders and newcomers eager to try their luck. Many attendees view these auctions as a full-time job, scouring abandoned units for items they can resell for a profit. Others participate as a hobby, enjoying the thrill of the unknown. Whatever the motivation, storage auctions have evolved from a niche industry into a widely recognized opportunity for those with a keen eye for value.

Big Box Storage has witnessed this trend firsthand, with increasing numbers of participants attending each auction. As the demand for storage unit auctions continues to grow, companies like Big Box Storage provide an exciting platform for buyers and sellers alike. With interest showing no signs of slowing down, these events are likely to remain a staple in the resale industry for years to come.

In return, donors receive a tax-deductible receipt, making it easy to give back while benefiting from potential tax savings.

The donated items are sold through Big Box Storage’s quarterly storage auctions, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the selected charities. Whether it’s supporting critical cancer research through Kure It, rescuing animals in need via RePets Animal Rescue, or providing educational opportunities through the National Self Storage Scholarship Foundation, each dollar raised makes a meaningful impact.

Summer Storage in San Diego

Summer is the busiest season for many San Diego storage companies, and it’s easy to see why. Families with school-aged children often wait until summer to move, while college students leave town for the break, either heading home or traveling. This seasonal shift leads to an increased demand for storage solutions across the city.

If you’re looking for extra space this summer, here are a few tips to make the most of your storage rental:

Storing Clothes the Right Way

If you plan to store clothing, be sure to wash and, if necessary, dry-clean each item before packing it away. Over time, stains can darken and become more noticeable, so cleaning garments beforehand helps prevent permanent discoloration. Folding your clothes neatly before storage can also minimize wrinkles and keep them in good condition when you retrieve them.

Make Room by Storing Winter Gear

Even though San Diego is known for its mild climate, many residents still enjoy winter sports like skiing and snowboarding. With ski resorts just a short drive away, locals often have bulky winter gear taking up space at home. Since you won’t be using these items during the warmer months, consider storing your skis, snowboards, heavy coats, and other cold-weather gear in a storage unit to free up room.

Temporary Storage for Home Renovations

Summer is also a popular time for home renovations, from floor replacements to room additions. If you’re tackling a big project, temporarily storing furniture, appliances, or household items in a storage unit can help protect them from dust and damage. Plus, having extra space to work in makes the renovation process far more manageable.

No matter the reason, using a storage unit during the summer can help keep your home organized and clutter-free. Looking for a convenient and secure storage solution? Rent a storage unit today with Big Box Storage!

Storage for San Diego Homeowners

Foreclosures and an unstable housing market in San Diego and across the country have been at the forefront of the news for the last three years. Whether it’s due to the recession, divorce, a new baby, or some other stressful occurrence, some San Diego homeowners find themselves falling behind on their monthly mortgage payments. Instead of facing the negative impact of a foreclosure, many will look into the possibility of selling their home fast so they can pay off their bank or mortgage company.

Such a turn of events often means that many of those impacted homeowners may have to downsize their living arrangements. In doing so, they will often be faced with a shortage of space in their new residence. An ideal solution to those faced with such a situation is the rental of a San Diego storage unit. Big Box Storage of San Diego can not only provide the rental of the storage unit, but also deliver and pick it up to and from the homeowner’s address.

Should you find yourself in a similar predicament, contact Big Box Storage at 800-391-4890 to schedule a delivery of one or more Big Box storage units. Deliveries are available seven days a week and can also be scheduled online.
