How to Organize Your Storage Container Like a Pro in Ventura County

Published: December 01, 2022

To keep your storage container from becoming an unorganized disaster, try to put only one type of item in each box. If you have a box for family mementos, don’t store Christmas decorations there, too. Properly arranging your belongings is key to maintaining a tidy space.

While it may be difficult to keep things in order, follow these tips and tricks from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Ventura County to make organizing a storage container easy!

Purchase supplies and create a list

Investing in some updated materials will make your move go more smoothly. Get plastic boxes, cardboard containers, and packing tape. You’ll be glad you did when everything is labeled and organized. And trust me on this one, rent or borrow a dolly. You’ll be so grateful once you see how much easier it makes transportation!

Store large, heavy items towards the back of the unit

Before you start filling your storage container with lighter objects, make sure to put the heavier items at the back. If possible, disassemble larger furniture so that it takes up less space. And to save even more room, look for empty vertical spaces where you can stack things on top of each other instead of next to each other.

Place items that you use more frequently in the front of the unit

You should always label your storage containers, no matter how unimportant you think the items inside are. This way, they’ll be easier to find when you need them and help with organization in general! Some people prefer transparent storage containers over cardboard boxes because they are more environmentally friendly and let you see what’s inside without having to remove the lid every time.
