JUNK.COM ENCOURAGES A FRESH START THIS NATIONAL PACK RAT DAY, MAY 17

DALLAS, TEXAS (April 28, 2025) - Whether it’s a garage packed with forgotten treasures or a closet overflowing with "someday" projects, clutter can quietly take over our lives. In honor of National Pack Rat Day on May 17, Junk.com is encouraging residents across the US to take a fresh look at their spaces — and embrace the freedom that comes with letting go.

National Pack Rat Day is a lighthearted reminder that we all hold onto things…sometimes long past their usefulness. But behind every overstuffed storage bin or crowded attic is a chance to clear physical space and emotional space.

"Clutter isn’t just about the stuff — it’s about what the stuff represents,” said Nicole Turturici, CEO of Junk.com. "We hold onto items for memories, security, or someday dreams. But clearing even a little can create room for new experiences, lighter living, and peace of mind.”

Junk.com is offering simple ways to get started:

• Take One Hour: Set a timer and see what you can clear without pressure.

• Photograph Memories: Snap photos of sentimental items before donating or recycling them.

• Focus on Future You: Ask if each item will serve the life you're building, not the one you're leaving behind.

For those who need help with the heavy lifting, Junk.com crews are ready to assist — removing unwanted items responsibly, with a focus on donations and sustainable disposal.

“It’s not about losing memories — it’s about gaining space for new ones," added Turturici. “National Pack Rat Day is a fun way to remember: you’re not alone, and every little step toward decluttering is a step toward a lighter life.”
