20ft, 40ft, high cube, modified, and refrigerated containers delivered to Newark and the surrounding Essex County towns, including East Orange, Irvington, Bloomfield, Belleville and Nutley.
Newark is the seat of Essex County, on the Passaic River where it meets Newark Bay. Deliveries reach Essex, Hudson, Union and Bergen counties. Delivery areas include the Ironbound, Forest Hill, Roseville, Vailsburg, Weequahic, Clinton Hill, University Heights and Downtown.
Newark's zoning code has two time limits for shipping containers. One counts a shipping container used for on-site storage as a portable storage unit, which must stay out of required front and side yards and be removed within 180 days (§ 41:2-2). Chapter 22 bars shipping containers left on a property for more than 30 days in residential, commercial, mixed-use and institutional zones and in redevelopment areas, unless a redevelopment plan allows them (§ 41:22-2). The two limits differ, so ask the Office of Planning and Zoning which one applies to your lot. On lots where the zoning allows container storage, such as the industrial and port districts, the Central Planning Board reviews it through site plan approval, and Chapter 22 adds a yearly Shipping Container Storage License, monthly reports, a four-container stack limit, spacing between containers and surveillance cameras (§§ 41:22-1 to 41:22-6). Ask the office whether the license applies to a business that keeps its own containers.

On an industrial lot near the port or the rail lines, 40ft containers can hold parts, tools and packaging once the city approves the site plan and confirms whether its storage license applies.
A container can hold furniture, cabinets and fixtures during a renovation that fits the time limit the zoning office sets for the lot.
A lockable 20ft container keeps tools and material on a job site, so the crew does not haul them home every night.
Shops and offices moving within the city can stage furniture and equipment in a container while the new space is fitted out.
Organizers of street fairs and park events can keep staging, tables and supplies locked near the site for the length of the event.
On an industrial lot, a 40ft high cube adds a foot of interior height for shelving and tall pallets.
