How Charleston Customers Use Our Containers

  • Home renovations: keep furniture dry and secure while older homes are remodeled.
  • Construction sites: lockable tool and material storage on growing job sites.
  • Businesses and retail: overflow inventory, fixtures, and seasonal stock.
  • Moves and relocations: stage belongings between homes.
  • Hurricane season: protect contents during storm repairs. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30.

Before Your Container Arrives

  • Pick a firm, level spot: concrete, asphalt, gravel, or packed ground. Soft or low-lying ground may need extra support.
  • Leave room for the truck: about 50 feet of straight clearance for a 20′ and 80 feet for a 40′, with no low wires or branches. Live oaks and narrow streets can limit access, so tell us about them.
  • Check local rules: HOA covenants may limit containers. In the City of Charleston, a POD or container in the street or sidewalk needs a right-of-way obstruction permit; elsewhere, placement in a public street needs approval from whoever maintains the road: another city or town, Charleston County, or SCDOT.
  • Bring a lock: every container has a steel lockbox; the lock is not included.
