These bins are great if you have a lot at one of those self storage places
. By using plastic bins for storage you can easily arrange, stack, and organize the items you are keeping safe at the location. See thru containers are great so that you can quickly and easily locate your items. I recommend investing in a few containers that have wheels so you can move them around easily.
Plastic bins are great in the workshop as well. Since most workshops have a bit of, well, grime in them, you want to have surfaces that are easy to clean. Plastic is very easy to clean off after a project is complete. They don't really accumulate thick dirt like other containers made out of other material. I like to build shelves and use smaller bins, labeled on the outside, to store my items in my workshop.
One of my favorite uses for bins is in the closet. They make storing items a breeze. And you can creative with them as well, using them for shoe organizers and a place to keep your accessories straight. In the bedroom they are perfect for under the bed storage.
The kitchen pantry and plastic storage bins are a match made in heaven. Why do you think Tupperware is such a well known brand? Again, I prefer clear containers here so you can easily see the contents. You know which sets of things or keepsakes are in which containers right away just by looking at them.
Storage bins are for more than just sticking old items into and shoving them into the attic. How many creative ideas can you come up with?
