On the way back from picking up parts we finally stopped by since we drive past it a lot. Solid spot — the guy working was super helpful and got us in and out quick with the container we needed. Prices seemed fair compared to what everyone else charges online.
A Google UserWorked over a weekend to get us a modified shipping container ahead of schedule at a reasonable price. This company is the best!

Where you can put a container in Burbank
Burbank has no container ordinance — we read Title 10 Chapter 1, Articles 5, 6, 9 and 11 and none of them regulate containers by name. What Burbank does have is the clearest street permit of any city we deliver to, and it names moving containers explicitly.
| Rule | What the city requires |
|---|---|
| Container-specific zoning rule | None found in the Burbank Municipal Code |
| Open storage in commercial and industrial zones (§ 10-1-1108) | Opaque masonry wall at least 6 feet high around the storage area, with stored material kept below the top of the wall |
| On a residential lot | Evaluated as an accessory structure under the general standards for detached garages, sheds and workshops |
| Street Use Permit | Public Works permit covering “cranes, roll-off trash bins, moving containers and vehicles, scaffolding, construction purposes” |
| Street Use fee — single family | $56.00 for a standard week, $175.50 for two weeks |
| Street Use fee — multi-family or commercial | $106.00 for a week, $244.75 for two weeks. Two-week renewal $100.00 |
| Who to call | Public Works, (818) 238-3950 |
The only place Burbank’s code acknowledges this kind of thing at all is a definitions clause excluding “temporary structures, storage pods, or trailers used for ancillary storage only” from usable floor area — which tells you the city expects them to exist without setting a rule for them.
Burbank has over 1,000 media-related companies employing more than 33,000 people, and the code carves out a dedicated Media District Overlay Zone. Set, prop and production storage is a large share of what goes into containers here. Production timelines are short, so the two-week street permit at $175.50 is often the right instrument rather than a long placement on private land.
Container delivery in Burbank
Burbank is flat, gridded and easy to drive a truck through. Most of the friction here is scheduling and street access rather than geometry.
- Media District and studio-adjacent lots — wide streets built for production traffic, but gate access and security check-in take time. Give us the gate contact before delivery day.
- Residential grids — standard driveways with detached rear garages down long, narrow drives. The drive width, not the street, is the constraint.
- Street placement — if it is going in the roadway you need the Street Use Permit above. Same-day permits exist but require same-day notification of an inspector.
- Airport-adjacent industrial — level, wide, easy.
- Overhead lines and mature street trees — Burbank’s older residential streets have heavy canopy. Trim before delivery day, not while a driver waits.
You need roughly 60 feet of straight clear run for a 20ft and 100–120 feet for a 40ft, plus 14 feet of overhead clearance the whole way in. Our full container delivery guide covers site prep, the three ways a container comes off a truck, and the eight things that most often go wrong on the day.
Delivery is quoted to your address before you commit. A photo from the street looking in tells us which truck to send.
