NEW YEAR, NEW SPACE: JANUARY DECLUTTERING DRIVES SPIKE IN JUNK REMOVAL NATIONWIDE

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- As Americans embrace New Year's resolutions and fresh starts, January has become the busiest month of the year for home cleanouts, according to national junk removal provider Junk.

Industry data and consumer behavior trends show that January generates up to 30% more junk removal requests than an average month, fueled by post-holiday clutter, discarded Christmas trees, packaging overload, and long-delayed cleanout projects.

“January is when reality sets in,” said Nicole Turturici, CEO of Junk.“People are done stepping over boxes, tripping on decorations, and storing things they haven't used in years. The New Year creates a psychological reset - and clutter is often the first thing to go.”

According to the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals, 54% of Americans feel overwhelmed by clutter. At the same time, a recent consumer survey found that nearly 60% of people say they declutter as part of their New Year's reset. January also marks the official end of the holiday season for many households.

Junk reports the most commonly removed items in January include:

.Holiday decorations
.Old furniture and mattresses
.Old clothing
.Outdated or broken electronics
.Garage and storage-unit clutter
.Overflowing household waste

Beyond physical space, decluttering offers mental benefits. Studies show that organized living spaces can reduce stress and improve focus - a major reason January cleanouts often coincide with wellness-focused resolutions.

“With people spending more time at home during winter months, clutter feels heavier,” added Turturici.“January is when people finally reclaim their space.”
