Mini Storage St. Petersburg, FL Offers ‘Green’ Storage Units; Saving Space, Planet

In order to set themselves apart from the other self storage facilities around the country and in their area, a Mini Storage St. Petersburg, FL may go ‘green’ to help with environmental issues that plague the planet in addition to attracting those eco-friendly consumers who like to deal with environmentally conscious businesses.

Some of the earth-saving green features could include motion detection lighting to save on electricity – they only go on when there are people moving about the building and then go off when there is no one inside to conserve the electricity. Others include roof-top solar panels to help heat and cool various areas of a self-storage St. Petersburg, FL facility and several climate controlled units for those people who need specially designed storage facilities for important papers and older documents, computer parts, photography equipment or photographs, rare books or a self employed person with a company that needs to store inventory like makeup, Tupperware or candles that can not take extreme heat or cold temperatures.

Furthermore, if a self-storage facility is able to keep their prices low or inline with traditional mini storage units, they will bring in the more eco-friendly crowd because they are not above spending more money to save the planet. However in these economic hard times, they do, like everyone else, like to save money. And just because a self storage facility has gone ‘green’ does not mean their prices require a lot of green, they typically cost about the same, maybe a little higher than the average mini storage units in the same vicinity.

Green self storage facilities also help with the ‘little things’ such as biodegradable packing peanuts and an alternative to those pesky little ‘nuts’ and bubble wrap – shredded paper. Many of the green mini storage facilities have clean, reusable boxes for packing away items in addition to a ‘freecycle’ or charity room in which people may place items that are still in good, workable condition that others may be able to use instead of them ending up in the landfill or going to a local charity. 

Nearly all of the self storage facilities now feature either on-site security or closed circuit video monitoring for your valuables and other stored items; after all, what is stored in your storage space may be valuable to you if not monetarily, it is most likely sentimental.
