Tips on Keeping Self-Storages Eco-Friendly


Here are some quick and easy steps you can take to ensure your self-storage office is doing its part for Mother Earth:

-Exchange regular light bulbs for compact fluorescent light bulbs. Add motion lighting, timers and dimmers wherever possible.
-When looking for new office equipment, check consignment stores. Not only can you find bargains, the furniture is typically barely worn.
-Upgrade to energy-efficient windows.
-When it comes time to upgrade computers, recycle. Also, use the computer’s power-save mode and turn off power strips at the end of the day to conserve electricity.
-Reduce paper use by creating electronic training manuals. Use both sides of the paper for self-storage contracts. Recycle paper or shred it and sell it to customers as packing material.
-Keep a list of charities on hand so tenants can donate items rather than throw them away
