College Storage in Fairfield, ME

College Storage Rentals in Fairfield, METodd’s Self Storage is excited to now offer College Summer Break Storage! This new program is so much more than just a storage unit. We provide the student with the boxes, packing tape, labeling materials, even a marker. Bring your stuff to us and we’ll pack it away in our clean, secure facility for the summer!

The purpose of this college storage program is to have a dedicated space, set aside year-round, specifically for college student storage. We’ve purchased a facility in Oakland, Maine that is less than a 10-minute drive from both Colby College and Thomas College. We are a bit further from other Maine institutions but welcome students from those as well.

Space is limited, sign up today!

How it Works-

For one affordable price, a student can bring us their items at the end of the school year. We will store them in our clean and secure storage facility until the student returns for the fall semester. When you sign up, you will find out when and where you will get your packing materials, then we’ll schedule a date for your drop off and pick up. Easy Peezy!

We will provide each student with Heavy Duty boxes, packing tape and dispenser, labels and a marker. A “how to” description will be provided for labeling packages to ensure proper identification. Keep in mind packages need to be under 50lbs, if it’s too heavy a surcharge will apply.
