Before You Get Here

• Inventory the items you are putting into storage.
• Label your boxes clearly.
• Defrost fridges and freezers and be sure to wipe them clean.
• Leave appliance doors slightly open to allow air flow.
• Ensure stoves, fridges, and small appliances like microwaves & toasters are clean and free of food particles.
• Break down large items if possible, for example removing the legs from tables.
• Use the space within drawers and cabinets to store small items.
• Remove the propane tanks from BBQ’s and take with you.
• Drain oil and gas from snow blowers and lawn movers.

When You Set Up

• Don’t forget to use the height in your space (with the exception of the two smallest spaces our units are a minimum of 10’ in height).
• If you are comfortable, consider placing your couch on its end.
• Stack boxes neatly and avoid using bags.
• Make a base with large, heavy items and stack smaller and lighter items on top.
• Store items you will be accessing frequently toward the front of the space.
• Place plastic (available on site) underneath all vehicles stored inside including cars, motorcycles, snow blowers, and lawn mowers.
