Moving to North Virginia Long Distance? A Few Tips from UNITS

Published: November 15, 2019

Packing your UNITS storage container will make whatever life event you’re having seem even more real. Maybe even overpowering.

Moving can be traumatizing. So can organizing the process. We can offer a few tips in that regard.

First, be ruthless in getting rid of whatever isn’t being stored or moved. Touch nothing twice. Your time will be better spent on the sorting and sifting if it’s done once.

Another good idea: Make lists that you can attach to boxes so that you know what is stored where. Keep a copy of all lists. Anything particularly valuable in there? Make a note.

And now, a few reminders about usage of a UNITS portable storage container.

• No hazardous materials. That includes fuels and fertilizers.
• Liquids. The containers they are in can leak and ruin everything around them. Dampness or wetness can also lead to mold.
• Anything that’s alive. Please, please, please, no people or pets. Not as a joke, a prank, or a punishment. Same goes for plants. Absent light and moisture, they will die and decay.

UNITS storage is a great way to secure your valuables while you move, renovate, or simply declutter. We can help!
