Shipping & Storage Containers
in Dayton.

Q: Do you deliver shipping containers to Dayton, Ohio?

Yes. We deliver to Montgomery County, Greene County, Miami County, Clark County, Preble County and surrounding areas. Delivered via I-75, I-70, and I-675 to the Miami Valley.

From the tech hubs near Wright-Patterson to the manufacturing floors of the Miami Valley, we provide the steel-clad storage that keeps Dayton moving.

Delivered price

What a container costs in Dayton.

$1,940 delivered to 45404 for a 20ft standard container
$2,250 delivered to 45404 for a 40ft standard container
$2,320 delivered to 45404 for a 40ft high cube

That is the container and the delivery together, with nothing added later. These prices have been in effect since October 13, 2026.

We price Dayton from 45404, the ZIP at the population center of the metro area. Your ZIP will be different from the one we price from, and delivery distance is most of what moves the number, so call and we will run yours.

Would you rather pick it up yourself?

If you would rather collect it yourself, we can do that. Pickup is priced differently from delivery and it is not the delivery fee taken back off, so here are both numbers side by side.

20ft $1,940 delivered, or $1,340 collected from a yard about 45 miles out.
40ft standard $2,250 delivered, or $1,620 collected from a yard about 45 miles out.
40ft high cube $2,320 delivered, or $1,700 collected from a yard about 45 miles out.

Which sizes are sitting at a nearby yard changes week to week, and the closest yard for one size is not always the closest yard for another. Call and we will check what is there and tell you where it is before you commit to the drive.

Renting vs owning

Do you rent portable storage containers in Dayton?

No. Steel Box Direct does not rent portable storage. We sell used Wind and Water Tight shipping containers, delivered to your property in Dayton, and we offer rent-to-own on fixed terms that end in ownership. A rented pod fits a move; an owned container fits storage that stays on your property. Our portable storage guide compares the two honestly.

Permits & zoning

Zoning and permit rules are set by your local authority and are the buyer's responsibility to confirm before you buy. Start with the offices below:

We keep a section on each of those offices, naming who to start with and listing the questions worth asking your county or municipal zoning office before you buy:
