Storage containers are very useful in preserving stuff, but they can also become messy if you aren’t careful. After all, if you fill your storage container with too many family memories or holiday decorations, it will soon become chaotic. While it might be difficult to organize things, if you follow these steps and ideas from UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Las Vegas, organizing a storage container will come naturally!

Create a list and gather goods

To begin, gather all of the necessary items, including totes, boxes, tape, tags, or markers to assist you in organizing your storage container. A dolly can also make transportation easier. Take your time and categorize your goods into groups so that they can be stored properly. You should also make and keep a detailed list of everything that will be kept in the container.

Large, heavy items should be placed near the rear of the unit

Large boxes and furniture should be placed at the back of the unit at the bottom. Break down your furnishings and set up your table and legs, headboards, bed frames, mattresses, dressers, and cabinets upright on their sides to make more room. Make sure you have enough vertical storage available with heavier things placed at the bottom of your boxes.

Put the things you use on a daily basis in front of the unit.

Even if you’re only going to store your belongings for a short time, place things you may require quickly at the front of the unit. Labels on boxes are essential. Consider using transparent storage containers rather than cardboard boxes for these items. You can view what’s inside a container without taking the lid off by putting clear plastic bins over cardboard boxes.
