Tools for This Plan
Metal storage can with a secure lid. Use a dry, accessible storage can to protect bagged supplies and make spills easier to control. Keep the original product label and inspect the contents and storage area regularly.
Adjustable storage shelving. Keep supplies off the floor and make older stock easy to reach. Match the shelving and loading arrangement to the space, floor and manufacturer’s instructions.
