STORE MORE! Self Storage

Have used this facility for several years. Very Competitive pricing, always clean, never have had any access problems regardless of time of day or night. Very secure. Staff is extremely friendly and cooperative. Best facility in Allen.

I stumbled upon this place on Earth911’s recycling search (
). This is the closest location to my parent’s house that takes unwanted CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes, and video tapes, in addition to consumer electronics like TVs, monitors, and cables. My mom had amassed quite a collection of these items, but she wasn’t sure how the drop-​off process worked. So while I was visiting, I gave Store More a call. The guy who picked up was extremely nice and explained that we’d need to fill out a short form, turn it in to the office, and walk our e-​waste over to one of the units that they keep around just to store this until they collect enough to send off for processing.
Since they’re only open till 3pm on Saturdays, we decided to wait till Monday to pay them a visit. I also found the form we’d need to fill out online, so we printed and filled it out at home (
). After a quick drive on a Monday afternoon, we arrived to find an empty parking lot. But the guy who picked up the phone a few days before was in the office and greeted us kindly. We asked for his advice on how to fill out the number of items since we didn’t sit around and count each individual disc or tape. (He recommended putting 20+ under «all other e-​waste.») Then he put on his coat and led us to the storage unit where we could drop off our two bags of e-​waste. I saw boxes of old TVs and monitors in the back of the unit that other people had brought in, which was encouraging and elevated my opinion of mankind. Maybe we won’t kill ourselves soon after all.
Thank you to Store More for being one of the few Green Spot drop-​off locations in Texas. (Most are in California.) This service is free to individuals and businesses, so take advantage of it!
The verdict: My mom found this very convenient, so she’ll definitely be returning to drop off more e-​waste as she comes across more.
