Economy Self Storage is your premier storage destination offering climate-controlled storage rentals at a reasonable price. Read our guide below to learn how to conquer common college storage mistakes this summer!

Always Avoid Clutter – Organize Your Unit With a Plan

Avoid the headache of unpacking a poorly organized storage unit when you come back from your summer break – strategically plan your unit’s layout. Consider creating an overhead map of your unit’s layout, and utilize excel to create a spreadsheet listing any items stored over break. Label any boxes or storage bins, and be sure to make use of your unit’s “vertical space” – place large storage bins at the base of your unit, and stack smaller and lighter boxes on top.

Pack your storage unit strategically. Small boxes containing textbooks or seasonal clothing items can be placed close to your storage unit’s door for easy access. In contrast, heavy larger items such as mattresses or dressers should be loaded in first and pushed flush with your unit’s back wall. Protect larger items from potential damage by wrapping them in bubble wrap, plastic wrap, or furniture blankets. Be sure to visit Economy Self Storage today for packing and moving supplies!

Always Avoid Overpacking – Donate or Sell Unneeded Items

Consider ridding yourself of any excess items prior to loading up your storage unit. That stained and sagging floral print couch in the corner, or the cumbersome tv set you were never able to use? List these items for sale on your campus’ message board, or post them on an online marketplace such as Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. They might not be worth much, but remember your goal is to free up potentially wasted storage space, so any amount made is an extra bonus. Look at it as some gas money for your trip back home.

Alternatively, if the idea of selling your items seems like too much work, you can choose to donate your unneeded items to an area thrift store or church. Regardless of your method, the end goal is the same – rid yourself of unnecessary items, and only store essential items while away on summer break.

Always Avoid Downsizing – Pick the Right Size Storage Unit

Listen, we understand; as a college student money is tight, and you’re probably considering renting the smallest storage unit to save some money over your break. Still, know this – there is nothing worse than running out of storage space mid-move. Instead, consider sizing up your storage unit to avoid a potential move-out nightmare. Moving.com helps detail the amount of space you will need in their recent article discussing summer storage tips for college students. As they note, a 5×5 size storage unit should sufficiently store a small dorm room or one-bedroom apartment; however, you should consider sizing up to a 5×10 size unit if you live in a two or three-bedroom apartment. Use their estimate as a guideline when considering storage sizes.

Equally as useful, Economy Self Storage provides a free storage calculator online. Input any items you plan to store, and the calculator will provide an estimate of your square footage needs, and subsequently the storage calculator will suggest an appropriate storage size. Avoid the mistake of renting an inferior size storage unit this summer!

Are you starting to prepare for the holidays? So is The Salvation Army. Each year, its Rescue Christmas initiative provides food, financial support, and other resources to families in need across the country. Due to the effects of the pandemic, The Salvation Army is anticipating a much larger number of people to serve this year. Economy Self Storage on Horseshoe Pike serves as a donation center for our area. So when you donate with us, your money will go to holiday assistance in the Honey Brook PA community.

Rescue Christmas’s Holiday Assistance in Honey Brook PA

With up to 155% more people expected to use The Salvation Army’s services this year, your help is needed and appreciated now more than ever. 2020 left a lot of families in financial trouble. Businesses closed, people got furloughed for months, and some got laid off completely. Economy Self Storage is raising money to support The Salvation Army’s holiday services in the Honey Brook PA area.

The Salvation Army helps families make rent, buy groceries, pay their heating bills, and more. Most of the funds for these programs are usually gathered through the red kettles outside shops. But this year with coronavirus precautions, there will be fewer red kettles and, therefore, fewer funds. The Salvation Army needs help financially supporting our neighbors in need.
