New, used & refurbished containers for sale in Anaheim

Anaheim is Southern California’s hospitality powerhouse — home to Disneyland, major convention centers, theme parks, and a vibrant events industry. Container demand is constant for event staging, pop-up retail, seasonal storage, and temporary hospitality logistics. Shipping Container Depot supplies Anaheim’s hospitality and events ecosystem with containers delivered in 3–7 business days.

Whether you’re staging equipment for a major convention, creating temporary storage for a seasonal event, launching a pop-up retail concept, or managing hospitality logistics for a theme-park-adjacent project, we deliver new and used containers suited to Orange County’s event-driven economy. Our Anaheim work includes venue coordination, placement planning around load-in schedules, and flexible short-term rental.

Every unit is lockable, wind and water tight, and fitted with a lock box. Where a container will be seen by the public we will tell you honestly which grade looks the part — one-trip units are near-new and take paint well, while used units are sound but carry dents and surface rust. Same-day quotes, and we plan delivery around your load-in window.

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.

Worked 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 Anaheim

Anaheim writes the residential rule in one sentence, and it is a narrow one. Anaheim Municipal Code §§ 18.04.030 and 18.06.030 both say the same thing about cargo containers in single-family and multi-family zones.

RuleWhat the city requires
Residential zones“Cargo containers may be permitted for the storage of construction materials only when building permits have been issued for substantial construction on the site.” Not for furniture or household items, and they must not block vehicle or pedestrian access
Industrial zoneOutdoor storage yards are permitted without a conditional use permit if all storage is screened from view; otherwise a CUP is required
Outdoor storage location (§ 18.38.200)Not in any required setback. Confined to the rear of the main structure or the rear two-thirds of the site, whichever is more restrictive
Next to a residential zoneAt least 15 feet from the property line, behind a solid masonry wall at least 8 feet high
Next to non-residentialSolid masonry wall or view-obscuring fence at least 6 feet high
Height of stored itemsEverything must sit below the height of the enclosing fence or wall
SurfaceCrushed angular rock at least 3 inches thick, or concrete or approved asphalt
Vacant parcelsNo storage on a vacant parcel

The practical read: in Anaheim, a container on a house lot is a construction-period tool, not a storage solution. On industrial land it is straightforward as long as it is screened and sits behind the front two-thirds line.

Anaheim is unusual in allowing screened outdoor storage yards by right in its industrial zone — no conditional use permit needed if the screening is there. If you are choosing between sites in Orange County and containers are part of the plan, that is worth knowing before you sign a lease.

Container delivery in Anaheim

Anaheim splits neatly into three delivery worlds, and knowing which one you are in tells you most of what you need.

  • The industrial belt north and east of the 5 — loading docks, wide aprons, level concrete. Nothing to worry about.
  • The Resort district — Anaheim has two dedicated resort zoning chapters, and the streets around them run on event schedules. Deliveries near the convention centre and the theme parks want an early morning slot, not a mid-afternoon one.
  • Older neighbourhoods west of Harbor — narrower streets, mature trees, detached garages down long driveways. The gate is usually the constraint, not the street.
  • Anaheim Hills — grade and tight cul-de-sacs. A 40ft tilt-bed frequently cannot make the turn. Send a photo and we will tell you before the truck is booked, not after.

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 priced to your address up front. Photos of the driveway and the drop spot answer more questions in ten seconds than ten minutes on the phone.

FAQ

Anaheim container questions, answered

+How far ahead should I book a container for an event or convention?
Delivery is typically 3–7 business days, so give yourself at least a week for anything with a fixed date. Load-in windows at venues are usually narrow and often outside normal hours, which matters more than the drive itself. Tell us the dates and the access window when you ask for a quote and we will schedule to them.
+Can I rent for just the run of an event or a season?
Yes, and that is how most event work goes. Rental covers the run and we deliver and collect on our own trucks, so nothing is left to dispose of afterwards. For venues and operators storing seasonal stock year after year, buying usually costs less within a couple of years — tell us the pattern and we will say which way the numbers fall.
+Can you deliver into a convention center or venue site?
Usually, with planning. Venues typically control load-in times, gate access, and where a unit may be set down, and some require a certificate of insurance or an approved vendor process before a truck comes on site. Give us the venue contact and your load-in window and we will work to their process. A tilt-bed still needs roughly 100 feet of straight clearance to unload, so the placement spot has to be agreed in advance.
+Do I need a permit to place a container for a temporary event?
Often, yes. Temporary structures at public events in Anaheim can fall under city special event permitting and fire authority review, particularly where a container is used for retail, food, or public access rather than back-of-house storage. Requirements differ between the City of Anaheim and neighbouring jurisdictions. Confirm with the relevant office, and we will supply dimensions, weights, and placement drawings for the application.
+Can a container be fitted out for pop-up retail or hospitality?
Yes, and we do the work in our own shop. Roll-up or glazed openings, personnel doors, serving hatches, lighting, power, flooring, and climate control are all standard. Exterior finish can be painted to a brand palette. Lead time depends on the spec, so bring us in early on anything tied to an event date.
+What condition should I choose if the container will be visible to the public?
One-trip units are the right call for anything customer-facing — they have been shipped once, look near-new, and take paint cleanly. Used units are structurally sound and considerably cheaper, but expect dents, patched repairs, and surface rust, which is fine behind a fence and less so on a concourse. Tell us where it will sit and we will recommend the grade rather than upselling you by default.
+How much are shipping containers in Anaheim?
Prices depend on size, condition and delivery distance. Enter your delivery ZIP code in the pricing box on this page (or send it with your quote request) and we will show current delivered pricing for new one-trip and used containers, plus monthly rental rates. Found a lower written quote? Send it to us and we will match it.
+Do you deliver to Orange, Fullerton, Buena Park and Garden Grove?
Yes — Anaheim and north Orange County, including Anaheim Hills, the Platinum Triangle, the Convention Center district, Orange, Fullerton, Buena Park, Garden Grove, Placentia, Yorba Linda, and Brea. Send the delivery ZIP and we will price it.

We also deliver to: Santa Ana, Irvine and Long Beach. We also serve buyers across the rest of the state — see every city on our shipping containers for sale in California page.
