Three Portable Storage Container Options for Every Project in Athens, GA
One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to portable storage. Go Mini's of Athens, GA offers a variety of container size options so Athens-Clarke County customers can match their container to the actual scope of their move, renovation, or storage project. We deliver directly to your property, you load at your own pace, and we can handle pickup, storage, and redelivery based on your needs. Whether you’re clearing out one room or moving an entire house, we have a container that fits.
Our three available sizes are the 12-foot container, the 16-foot container, and the 20-foot container. Here’s what each one is built for.
The 12-foot container is the right fit for smaller projects. If you’re moving out of a dorm, decluttering a single room, or handling a minor renovation, this size gives you the space you need without paying for more. It holds the contents of a small- to medium-sized room or a studio apartment comfortably, including items like a small refrigerator, a washer/dryer combo, outdoor equipment, or a mix of boxes and miscellaneous belongings.
16-Foot Container
Step up to the 16-foot container for medium-sized moves or larger renovation projects. This size accommodates multiple rooms’ worth of furniture and appliances. If you’re moving from a moderately sized condo or apartment, the 16-foot container handles sofas, beds, dressers, dining tables, and the boxes that come with them. It’s a popular choice for homeowners clearing out living spaces during a remodel.
20-Foot Container
The 20-foot container is our largest size and the go-to for full-scale home moves, major renovations, or substantial storage needs. It holds bulky items alongside everyday belongings without forcing you to choose what gets left behind. If your project involves multiple bedrooms, large appliances, and oversized furniture all at once, this is the container for it.
How to Choose Between the 12, 16, & 20-Foot Containers
Start with volume. Walk through your home and visualize how much floor and wall space your belongings actually occupy, or measure larger furniture pieces to get a concrete sense of what you’re working with. That mental picture usually makes the size decision straightforward.
Also consider the type of items you’re storing. Bulky furniture like sectionals, bed frames, and armoires takes up space quickly and typically pushes a project toward a larger container. Smaller, stackable items like boxes and bins pack efficiently and may fit comfortably in the 12-foot or 16-foot container even when there are plenty of them.
Why Athens-Clarke County Customers Choose Go Mini's of Athens, GA
We’re a locally owned and operated business serving Athens-Clarke County, Georgia, so you’re working with people who know this community.
Ground-Level Loading & Driveway-Friendly Delivery Our containers sit at ground level for easy loading and unloading, with no ramps or lifting over a threshold. Padded wheels protect your driveway and property from damage during drop-off and pickup.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Construction Containers are built from powder-coated steel with weather-resistant features that help protect your belongings throughout your rental period. Security features are built in to help guard against unauthorized access.
Flexible Rental Periods Projects rarely follow a strict schedule, so we don’t hold you to one. Many customers keep their container for several weeks or longer, and we won’t pressure you to rush. Our team focuses on building real relationships with customers rather than processing transactions.

What Happens After You Load Your Container
Once you’ve finished loading, you have a few options. If your project is ongoing, the container can stay on-site while you continue working. When you’re ready to move, we can move the container to your new address. If you don’t need it on your property in the meantime, we can store it securely at our facility until you need it back.
Off-site storage keeps your loaded container in a secure environment using established security procedures, so your belongings stay protected and out of your way for as long as your project requires. When you’re ready, we can redeliver the container to your property. Go Mini's of Athens, GA handles pickup, long-term storage, and redelivery as a complete service, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors.

Great Experience with Go Mini's
I had a great experience with Go Mini's. From the very beginning and throughout the entire process, they were extremely responsive and easy to work with. Kaeti was especially helpful, taking the time to answer my questions, provide a quote, and help me make the storage arrangements I needed.
Before making a decision, I compared Go Mini's against several other storage options in the Athens area, and they had the best pricing I found. Their combination of competitive rates and outstanding customer service made the choice easy.
If you need temporary storage in the Athens area, I would definitely recommend Go Mini's. Five stars from me!
Brandy Jensen
Service Overall Was Excellent
Kaeti (owner) was extremely accommodating and professional. She was very responsive to my questions and needs. The service overall was excellent; in the future, if we ever need a moving service again, we will definitely call on them. Gene, the pod deliverer, was very professional, friendly, and caring; he is a great ambassador for the company as well.
Robert Goodwin
I Would Highly Recommend Katie
Everything these days is high $$. However, if it’s a high price and a good experience, it feels like it’s worth it. I enjoyed the use of the mini pad, and it was just right for what I had planned. Katie was a joy to work with, always positive, always alert and responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend Katie and the crew at mini pads for your next move.

Wonderful Experience Using Go Mini’s
Had a wonderful experience using Go Mini’s for storage during a home renovation project. Highly recommend!
Bridget Taratus
I loved my experience with Go Mini's
I loved my experience with Go Mini's! They were extremely responsive and helpful with all of the uncertainty of moving (i.e., unit size, movers, pickup flexibility). The unit arrived quickly. I requested it only 24–48 hours before needing it. I really loved that they were local and not a big chain where you and your concerns could get lost. I felt well attended to and taken care of. They have people who will unload your unit into your location. This was a MAJOR plus for me!! The movers even came the day before to scout where the unit could be parked as they unloaded it. They were professional, kind, and efficient. If I ever need another unit, I'll absolutely be using Go Mini's.
