It’s not always easy to be green in everything you do in a self storage facility, however if you have a choice of self storage facilities to choose from, why not look for one that strives to be green, to protect and preserve the environment for future generations

Trash Recycling

We operate several programs designed to limit the waste that goes into our landfill sites. At Bonita Storage Inn we don’t like to waste anything. Our weekly waste pick up from our trash hauler seems to get smaller and smaller all the time. We separate card board, paper, cans and bottles in separate containers both in the office and in our outside dump containers.

Cell Phone Recycling

We set up a cell phone drop off bin in the office for recycling cell phones. The average American replaces their cell phone every one to two years. Just think how that produces in excess of 100 million cell phones every year. We use FlipSwap. They repurpose the devices by giving them to charities or recycle those that can no longer be used. They also plant a tree for each device they recycle.

Box and Packaging Recycling

We have a self storage unit designated specifically for used boxes and packing material. Tenants are encouraged to return used corrugated boxes for re-use by charities or for recycling. We also accept packing peanuts for reuse. Did you know that over 70% of corrugated boxes are recycled in the United States?

Energy Saving Lighting

In an effort to limit utility use and therefore new utility plant expansion or new construction we conserve by targeting several areas. We use energy saving florescent light throughout the property. We replaced all the incandescent fixtures on the outside of the office building with florescent bulbs. We replaced all the metal halide and high pressure sodium fixtures and bulbs on the building walls with florescent fixtures and bulbs.

Air Conditioning Efficiency

We use programmable thermostats to manage the air conditioning and humidity control on the property. This helps us to conserve energy while maintaining protection for your stored things against humidity that can cause mold and mildew. Our regular scheduled maintenance program for our Air Conditioning units and the high quality air filters we use help to keep our air handlers clean and efficient.

We want to help provide a better environment for generations to come.
