Step One -- What Will Go Into The Container?

Large Plastic Storage Containers For Food The first step in selecting storage containers is to determine what you will be putting into them. The type of items, when you will most often use them, and where they need to be located are all important information to put on your organizing and storage solutions plan but, what will be in them is priority. If the item will be storing anything you or your pet will be consuming (food, medication, topical and oral applications, etc.) you will want to ensure the plastic is safe. Keep in mind 'plastic' is created by man made processes and it is important to watch for 'non-toxic' types of plastics when using them for food or for your child's toys. Step One: What Will Go Into The Container? Make a list of what you will be putting into your organizing containers and label the items which would require containers for food (and the other items listed above).

Step Two -- Where Will They Be Kept?
Large Plastic Storage Containers Sets
Large Plastic Storage Containers Sets I believe the first time I saw a storage containers set was on a kitchen counter. Inside the four piece set were coffee, sugar, flour, and tea. It makes sense to store items where you have easy access to them. If you use them every day then the place you put them is going to be closer to the workspace. If you use something once a week then a bit away from the central place where you will need access is ok, but, be sure it is easy enough to reach for it will not temp you to go buy another one instead. Then of course the items you use less often (once a month, once a year, or seasonally) are going to do well out of sight (but mark the containers so you can see what is inside without opening them all). Step Two: Where Do They Need To Be Kept? Where will the containers be kept and is there a size limitation or odd shape in that space? Where you want the containers to be located (as outlined above) depends on when and how often you use them.

Large Plastic Storage Containers With Wheels The top reason to have storage containers with wheels is so you can move them. Think about this option for seasonal items (moving from garage to dressing room or decorating for holidays) and also think about it for storage containers in rooms where you need to dust and vacuum (when you don't have room in the garage or an unused closet... you might find yourself cleaning about this storage container). If you can move it easily over a bit out of the way so you can clean around it... you are going to welcome having a bit of storage here and there.
