Don’t Be Buried By Gifts This Season

This past Christmas and holiday season we are sure that you received many gifts, some small, some big. Now’s the time, the “holiday hangover” when you realize you need to do something with the gifts you received. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the number of gifts and what to do with them. Well at North Shore Mini Storage, we have one simple trick that will allow you to remain clutter-free in this new year.

Don’t Let Gifts Clutter Your Life

That one simple trick? Donate 2 things you no longer use for each item you receive. It’s not as bad as it seems, you will be surprised how much stuff you have.

Donate

That is right, you do not need all that stuff you have. If you have received something this past holiday season and you already have a duplicate, donate that duplicate. Following the 2 to 1 rule, allows you to free up clutter from 2019 while doing good for others. We are sure if you looked hard enough you will find plenty of things you haven’t used in years. Might as well get rid of some stuff and replace it with the new stuff you received.

Toss

Somethings you have may not be donate-able, well don’t worry you can always just toss it out. It’s much better to throw away things before they really begin to pile up. Some people have issues with throwing things away, if that’s you then the next section might be more your style.

Store

Of course, you have things you don’t wanna lose but you don’t have room for. So self storage comes to your rescue. You can rent a small locker for just a few things, or go big and start to fully de-clutter the house. A great 2021 new year’s resolution!

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
