The latest announcement is out from WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings ( (WSC) ).

On December 18, 2025, WillScot Holdings Corporation’s board approved a multi-year Network Optimization Plan following its 2024 integration of modular and storage field operations and a detailed review of its real estate footprint and rental fleet. Under the restructuring, the company will exit about 725 acres of leased real estate over the next four years, covering 115 branch and drop lot locations—roughly a quarter of its leased acreage—and abandon rental fleet units with a net book value of up to $315 million, primarily long idle, non-standard or high-repair modular and storage units, while maintaining market coverage and sufficient idle fleet. The plan triggered around $41 million of incremental depreciation on equipment identified for disposal during the eleven months ended November 30, 2025, and will include approximately $303 million of non-cash accelerated depreciation recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025 and an estimated $40 million to $50 million of cash disposal costs through 2029, with about $20 million of net cash costs expected in 2026; management expects the initiative to curb annual real estate cost increases by $25 million to $30 million and to be accretive to profitability from 2027 onward, with all related charges reported as restructuring costs in other operating expenses.
