20ft, 40ft, high cube, modified, and refrigerated containers delivered to Greenville and the South Carolina Upstate, including Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Taylors and Travelers Rest.
Greenville is the seat of Greenville County, sitting on the Reedy River at the foot of the Blue Ridge escarpment along the Interstate 85 corridor between Atlanta and Charlotte. Deliveries reach Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Pickens, Laurens, Oconee, Cherokee, Union, Abbeville and Greenwood counties. Delivery areas include the West End, North Main, Augusta Road, Overbrook, Alta Vista, the Earle Street Historic District, Hampton-Pinckney, Pettigru Historic District, Nicholtown, Sans Souci, Southernside, Judson, Poe Mill, Haynie-Sirrine, Pleasant Valley, Viola Street, Gower Estates, Parkins Mill, Cleveland Forest and Stone Lake.
Greenville adopted a new Chapter 19, Development Code and Zoning Map, effective July 15, 2023, replacing the former Chapter 19, Land Management. The Development Code addresses shipping containers by name, in two places: an accessory outdoor storage standard that limits container storage to a short list of business and industrial districts, and a temporary use standard that prohibits using a motor vehicle, trailer or shipping container for sales, service, storage or business in all zoning districts except through named exceptions. Portable storage units are treated as a separate category with their own size, count and duration standards. Outside the city limits, unincorporated Greenville County is governed by the county's zoning ordinance, and Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Fountain Inn and Travelers Rest each administer their own.

Suppliers to BMW in Greer and the wider automotive corridor can use containers to hold tooling, packaging, racking, spare parts and staged material at the plant fence line. On industrial-zoned ground in the county and in the industrial districts inside the city, the zoning allows outdoor container storage.
Crews working across the county can keep tools, copper, fixtures and materials locked in a container on the job. Inside the city limits, construction authorized by a building permit is one of the specific exceptions written into the development code.
Turbine, industrial services and engineering businesses around Greenville work with large, weather-sensitive components. A container can provide secure ground-level storage on the yard or at the project site for rigging, spares, fixtures and calibration gear, and it can move with the project.
Distribution operations along the Interstate 85 corridor and around Inland Port Greer can use a container or a row of them for seasonal overflow at the dock.
North of the city, toward Travelers Rest, Marietta, Slater and the Dark Corner, and out across Pickens, Oconee and Laurens counties, this is working land. A container can hold feed, seed, orchard equipment, chainsaws, tractor implements and hunting gear out at the field, dry and locked. Unincorporated county land follows county zoning rather than the city development code.
Businesses along Main Street, around Falls Park and near Fluor Field have limited back-of-house space. A container can hold seasonal inventory, patio furniture, event staging and paper goods. Greenville's development code limits outdoor container storage to a short list of business and industrial districts, so a downtown restaurant should start with a call to Planning and Development.
