There’s no stopping the all-too-Filipino trait of hoarding, no matter how hard we try. For whatever reason, we find it impossible to throw things away, instead allowing piles of junk to clutter our houses. One way to declutter and hold on to things you don’t want to dispose of is by renting a storage space—a service available throughout Metro Manila.
These services let you rent space in warehouses where you can keep your things under lock and key. It’s a good solution for messy houses and for those who might be going abroad for long periods of time. Whether it’s old memorabilia, things you don’t need, or even car parts you swear you’re going to install soon, renting storage space is a headache-saving solution to decluttering.
All of the storage services listed below offer quality solutions and enough space for a minimum of around five balikbayan boxes. All are equipped with air-conditioning, round-the-clock security, and insurance. Prices are anywhere between P1,000 to P20,000 per month depending on the size of the space and how many things you want to store.
