Cleared Space With Cal-waste?


Galt residents love using their Handy Hauler and Bulk Item Pickup services. Here’s how to store what matters most, without letting it take over your home. If you’ve ever scheduled your Handy Hauler or Bulk Item Pickup through Cal-Waste, you’ve probably done some serious clearing out. These free services offered by the City of Galt make it easy to part with what no longer serves you, and to make room for the things that still do. But once the truck pulls away, most households are still left with valuable belongings that simply don’t fit neatly into daily life. These aren’t throwaways. These are tools, seasonal decor, heirlooms, or future-use items that deserve to be protected, not crammed into a corner of the garage. That’s where My Stuff Storage comes in. At My Stuff Storage in Galt, we help families make room to live better. Store It Because It’s Valuable, Not Because You Couldn’t Let Go The things that remain after a cleanout often fall into an important category: worth keeping, just not needed daily. Items like: Holiday decorations that bring joy once a year Furniture pieces you’re saving for a future space or growing child Seasonal outdoor gear like tents, kayaks, or fishing rods Keepsakes or heirlooms you want to preserve Tools or equipment that serve a purpose but don’t need to be underfoot Choosing to store these items isn’t about indecision. It’s about being intentional with your space and giving what you own the room it deserves. Your Garage Isn’t a Catch-All Most of our Galt customers reach out to us after they’ve done the right thing: cleaned out, sorted through, and decided what’s worth keeping. The problem? It’s hard to live fully when every cabinet, hallway, or side yard is packed to capacity. Our drive-up units offer a simple next step: Ground-level access means you can load directly from your garage Units range from small (5×10) to large (15×25) depending on your needs We’re right here in Galt, just a short drive from Higway 99 Give Yourself Margin, Not Just Space One of the best ...

College Student Storage: Keep Your Dorm Belongings Safe Over Summer


As the school year ends, many Galt families welcome college students back home, often with a car packed full of dorm essentials, storage bins, and a mini fridge or two. All those extra items can quickly take over the house, especially if their old room no longer fits their college lifestyle. A 5x10 unit at My Stuff Storage in Galt gives you the extra room to keep things safe, organized, and out of the way until it’s time for them to head back to school. Why Summer Storage Just Makes Sense College students collect a lot more than books during the school year. Instead of trying to make it all fit in your home, a 5x10 storage unit gives you around 50 square feet of secure, private space to hold: Dorm bedding and seasonal clothing Small furniture like desks or futons Kitchen gear, textbooks, and electronics Keepsakes, project materials, and athletic gear This kind of setup gives students one less thing to worry about when they return home, and it helps your household stay organized during the summer months. Stress-Free Storage That Encourages Responsibility As a parent, you want a solution that’s simple and secure. But storage can also be a great way to teach your student responsibility. Renting a storage unit for their summer items gives them a chance to manage their own belongings, make decisions about what to store, and take a small but meaningful step into adulthood. It’s an easy way to support their independence without throwing them in the deep end. At the same time, you won’t need to fill up your garage or create a maze of boxes in your living room. Everyone gets a little breathing room, and your student gets to return to college in the fall knowing exactly where everything is. Why Families Choose My Stuff Storage in Galt We’re proud to serve local families right here in Galt and surrounding areas. Here’s what makes our facility the go-to choice for college student storage: Convenient Location Our Galt facility is easy to access from ...
