This facility is available with most moving companies that advertise for removals and storage. When you have sorted out the stuff that you will probably not need or sue for a while, give a call to a removal company and book a pick-up storage container. Normally, you can get a lot into a single container but if you are unsure about what size of container you would need, ask someone from the company to come down and survey your stuff or send them a picture of your junk online and let them decide. On a date and time of your choosing, the company will deliver you a storage built container on a trailer to your property. You can keep it for a day or a week, depending on what period of time you have agreed to with the company, and load your items into it, even including your furniture. When you are done loading and have secured the container with padlocks, the trailer will be picked up and taken back to a storage facility where it will be stored safely. Most removal companies will provide insurance that will reimburse you for any damage to them during transit and storage.
