Our Self Storage Checklist

Drive-up or Drive-in?  Climate-controlled?  Energy-efficient? 24/7 access? There are a lot of choices to make when choosing a self-storage unit.  No two people are the same, and their storage needs aren’t the same either.  There’s only one unit that’s right for you, and we are confident that Green Storage has that unit.  We offer a variety of storage options at out flagship facility. 

So what is on your checklist for the perfect storage unit?

Climate-control: While Ajax has seen a beautiful summer, the seasons are quickly changing.  The need for long-term storage in Canada always comes with the need for climate-control.  Our location is completely indoor.  This means no frozen locks or doors.  We also control the temperature of our units to ensure your belongings are protected all winter long (Sorry, we can only store your things all winter – you still have to go out in the cold.) 

Energy-efficient: Can a unit be climate-controlled AND energy-efficient? Of course!  We are committed to providing as many energy-efficient services to our customers. Our Ajax location is the one that started it all.  When we opened our doors here in 1986 we became the first fully eco-friendly storage company in Canada.  That is still our mission today.

Security:  With 24/7 access you can be confident that your storage unit is available to you whenever you need.  But, we only want YOU to access your unit.  We do daily walk-throughs of the site and have CCTV cameras to ensure the safety and security of your belongings.  Each unit is equipped with its own sprinkler system and we offer a competitive insurance policy, you know, just in case.

Drive-in or Drive-up:  Green Storage is excited to announce the newest development to our ever-growing Ajax facility.  This fall we are adding a 4-story self-storage structure with a drive-in.  Now customers can choose both drive-in AND drive-up units.  This means even more storage space for the people of Ajax, ON.  The drive-in addition hosts a variety of unit sizes that are all easily accessed 24/7.  You can drive your moving truck right up to our drive-up units. If opting for a drive-in unit, our state-of-the-art palette moving system will easily move your things into one of the units in the 4-story structure.

Customers know what they like, and they have committed to Green Storage for over 20 years.  We are thankful and always growing and looking for more ways to serve our community better. 

What’s on your self-storage check list?
