Colorado is in a rough spot right now. Not only are we adjusting to the new way of life that COVID-19 has brought us, but fires are breaking out in multiple parts of the state and affecting our communities and neighbors. The Box Portable Storage is here to help with temporary storage needs for mitigation and restoration companies, municipalities, or whoever might need it. We are prioritizing deliveries for any customers that are affected by the fires and going beyond our standard 60 mile range to provide service. Please contact us at (970) 800-3807 or request a free quote online for more information.
We believe that the people and communities affected deserve our full support and encourage everyone who can to find ways to help. The list below includes just some of the ways to donate and volunteer.

Donations to the fund are tax deductible, and they will be distributed to individuals affected by the fire through the Cameron Peak Fire Long Term Recovery Group in the coming months “and possibly year,” according to a news release.
