Self Storage Myths Busted

Green Storage is sweeping Southern Ontario.  We have convenient locations in Ajax, Orillia, Toronto and more.  Are you still wondering if self-storage is right for you?  There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about self storage.  Today we are going to put those myths to bed.


Self Storage is always in the middle of nowhere.
It’s true that self storage has a history of favoring rural areas. But Green Storage is changing with the times and offer convenient locations across Ontario.  Whether you’re using our facilities for industrial or residential storage, we believe convenience is key.  If you live in the city, our newest self storage location in Toronto is located just off the Don Valley Parkway and easily accessed from the downtown core.

Self Storage is like putting my things in a dingy garage.
Maybe you’ve had a traumatic storage unit experience with a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling, as you try to find your skis from last winter.  We’ve heard this before.  But Green Storage is here to change the way you think of self storage.  Our units are equipped with LED lighting and kept clean with measures in place to protect your belongings from anything that would try to get in – including weather elements.  Come see our fully renovated units and rethink self storage.

My belongings won’t be safe.
We know how important security and peace of mind are.  At Green Storage we offer 24/7 CCTV security and do full facility walk-throughs daily.  We also know that some threats come from nature – that’s why each unit is equipped with a sprinkler system and fire extinguishers nearby.

You must commit at least six months.
Abandon your fear of commitment.  Our minimum rental time is just 4 weeks! Offering true flexibility for our customers.

You can keep anything you want in your unit.
This is ALMOST true.  Aside from hazardous waste, illegal substances, explosives and food, you can store what you like.  From boats to bikes to baby strollers, our units are equipped to store what you need.  Our units range in size from 5’ x 5’ for small boxes and files to 10’ x 30’ for a 4-bedroom house.  We offer a wide range of options for you to store anything you need (except explosives.)

You can’t access you stuff when you need it.
Green Storage offers 24-hour access to your belongings.  Each unit has its own security code and many have drive up access.  There is no need to call ahead, just let yourself into your unit and lock up when you’re done.
