Lifecycles was launched in 2012 by Brian Gansz, who formerly worked in the information-technology industry. “I saw a need for a way for the community and businesses to dispose of electronic devices other than to throw them in a landfill,” Gansz told the source. Lifecycles disassembles the electronics so they might be reused, refurbished or recycled. The company also erases sensitive data from the devices.
In addition to picking up discarded items at the self-storage facilities, Lifecycles holds fundraisers. Last month, the company helped a girls’ softball team raise money through e-waste recycling.
Open every day, Bloomingdale Self Storage offers climate-controlled storage as well as online billpay and reservations.
In addition to its storage property in Brandon, Budget Self Storage operates 13 facilities in Bradenton, Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tampa, Fla.
