No matter how much you clean up, it’s nearly impossible to completely eliminate clutter. According to the personal storage experts at Arctic Self Storage in Anchorage, AK, the accumulation of clutter is closely linked to human psychology, in which people hold onto items because they have some sort of monetary or symbolic value. Whether your garage is filled with keepsakes or your extra bedroom is piled high with folders and boxes, the good news is that you’re not alone.

Here are a few reasons why people collect clutter:

• Sentimental Value: For those of you who just can’t say goodbye to movie tickets, old photographs, and childhood toys, you’ve probably dedicated a room in your house to items with sentimental value.
• Lack Of Space: Not all people collect clutter because they feel like they can’t let go. Others simply don’t have enough personal storage space in their house for their belongings. If you feel like you’ve run out of room for everyday items like kitchen utensils, office supplies or even a boat, then this could be the source of your clutter. 
• Monetary Worth: From collectibles and antiques to family heirlooms, some objects are worth a lot of money. It would be a waste to throw these items in the trash, so the frugal-minded will stockpile these things until they get a chance to sell.

Unfortunately, clutter is a part of life, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a solution. By renting a storage space at Arctic Self Storage, you can organize your belongings and clear up some space around the house, allowing you to eliminate clutter without being forced to part with your valuables for good.
