Storage Tips

Make it Easy! Here are a few helpful storage tips:

• Don't forget to use valuable space inside drawers and larger appliances, such as stoves and refrigerators, to store small items: towels, linens, toys, etc.
  
  
• Break down large items such as bed frames, tables, and large furniture, and don't forget to keep all parts together (screws and smaller items) by taping them to the item.
  
  
• Label boxes on all sides for easy identification.
  
  
• Make sure fragile boxes are placed on top of heavier, less delicate boxes. Be sure not to overpack boxes, as they can get heavy and dangerous.
  
  
• Place frequently accessed items toward the front of your unit.
  
  
• Use furniture covers or moving pads to keep items off the floor of the unit.
  
  
• When storing business files, leave a walkway down the center of your unit to make accessing items easier.
  
  
• Do not store food or perishable items.
