Plastic Storage Bin


What is the best way to store/organize plastic storage containers (etc. Glad containers)?

Because the lids and containers don’t stack all nice and neat.

You can label them. Good luck. Hope that helps you. Good luck.

keep them in a clear bin /tote with a lid this way they are all dust free and available when you need them

Nest what you can, and put the covers in a clear plastic bag, sorted by size. This way you can keep the bag in the cupboard or pantry on a shelf or in a drawer.
You may also wish to keep them (the bottoms) all in a larger container which you can pull out from the shelf to find just the right one!

I have a LOT of plastic containers, and it drives me nuts if they are disorganized. So I sort the containers by shape and size – they all go on a shelf. For example, all the round containers go together, small ones inside the larger ones, so that there is only 1 stack of that shape.

Then for the lids, I have large drawer that is pretty deep. I have dividers inside the drawer – cut specifically to fit the drawer, they create several compartments. So I can sort the lids according to shapes, and store them on their sides so I can see at a glance what I have… picture an office drawer with hanging files, the lids are stored straight up and down like the files.

I know it is borderline obssessive, but it works and everything stays neat without too much effort!
