Janna Joe-Hagiwara, a storage renter for 10 years, switched to Hawaii Self Storage recently because it now offers cardboard recycling for the boxes her pharmaceutical business discards each day.
Ecolab Pest Elimination is one of several companies that headquarters its business out of storage facilities.
New shipments from the mainland are stored until its service specialists pick up the light fixtures and non-lethal bait traps, said district manager Dave Lau. The rented space allows the company to work without the need for an office as Ecolab employees mostly operate from home and communicate via handheld devices.
"We get much more than just storage," Lau said. "I'm here every week and they know us."
