Michael is an auto mechanic. He knows the quality of his work flows all the way to the organization of his tools and equipment. Like most mechanics he stores his tools in a wheeled, three-tier cabinet. But, Michael also uses a large plastic storage bin for used motor oil. This type of bin is in the form of a 55-gallon drum and draining the oil into this container keeps his garage stays clean, and the large plastic drum can be easily and safely moved to a disposal area. There is a company which Michael pays monthly to provide this service at a low rate, and they provide him with an empty new container to replace the full one. This method may seem like something you wouldn’t use at home, but it is.
Perhaps you don’t do your own oil changes , which is perfectly fine, you can still use a plastic storage bin to sort recyclable material like aluminum cans, bottles and newspapers. If you are handy in the garage, use a bin to store rags, or to keep tools that you do not use all that often.
Not all of these containers have to be plain, unattractive plastic. You can find a decorative plastic storage bin for softer areas of the home such as the kitchen. In Charlene’s kitchen, she has containers on her countertops for flour and sugar. There’s a matching utensil bin in the drawer for spoons, knives, and forks; and yet another bin to hold dishes while they dry after being washed. She was having an issue with her kids’ cereal boxes fitting neatly in the pantry, so she found a bin to hold certain foods as well. She found a useful unit that has four large containers with sealing, airtight lids that you put the cereal into. At the bottom there is a handle to turn, which acts as a hopper and portions the cereal into a bowl. The whole unit rotates around so you can choose the cereal you want. The extra room Charlene saved in the cupboard, she used to store holiday decorations for the kitchen which she uses throughout the year.
The stock room at Tom’s assembly company was a disaster. He noticed that his employees were always asking him to order the same boxes of hardware time and time again. It just didn’t make sense. There was enough hardware on the purchase orders to assemble 100 units, but somehow they only could find enough for half of hat. Tom installed a multi-colored plastic storage bin system to help organize his company’s hardware inventory. Being able to choose varying sizes was a huge plus, because some of the bolts were fairly big and would only fit into a larger bin. Some parts were tiny, and so he kept them in a very small bin. He saved thousands on lost equipment and parts and everything ran much more efficiently thanks to the new sense of organization in the warehouse.
