Real Time Solar Report

  • As part of Barbur Storage's sustainability goals, our New Solar Panels help  make clean renewable and sustainable energy a reality while also powering our facility. Our 108 rooftop solar panels produce up to 23.8kw/hour at full capacity. Barbur Storage has a "net metering" system which sells power back to the grid when production exceeds our needs. By providing solar power we are striving to limit our carbon footprint and reduce greenhouse gas emmissions. See our "real-time" production by clicking on the link Real Time Solar Report above.
  • We support Portland General Electric's "Clean Wind Renewable Future" power program for clean, renewable, sustainable power. With this program, all of the power we pay for is 100 % wind from the Klondike II wind farm in Oregon.
  • We have a "Box Exchange" where customers can store used moving boxes in good condition. We offer them free of charge to customers needing boxes, extending boxes' lives before recycling.
  • We are frequent contributors to our local schools. We support Markham and Stephenson Elementary School's annual fund raising auctions. We donate to Wilson High School and Burlingame Pre-School.
  • We also donate to Tigard Breakfast Rotary Foundation, Animal Aid, Amercian Cancer Society, Doctors Without Borders, Heifer International, Emanuel & Doernbecher Children's Hospitals, and Nature Conservancy.
  • Recycling of all types of paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, aluminum, and tin containers is also available to customers.
  • Annual no cost Shredding Event in the Fall.
  • We partnered with Neighborhood House to sponser a Holiday Food Drive December 2009.

  • Barbur Storage was a Portland BlueWorks Business recognized by the City of Portland for going beyond recycling. We are certified in the current program Recycle At Work. We are proud to do our part to create a healthy future for Portland. BlueWorks businesses demonstrate excellence in waste reduction, recycling and buying environmentally preferred products.
