Houston is a true port market โ€” supply flows directly from Port Houston's Bayport and Barbours Cut container terminals, so empty containers collect locally instead of arriving by a long rail haul. That keeps Houston delivered prices at the low end of the national range: an October 2026 national price index put Houston's used 20ft depot price at $1,274, among the cheapest in the country. Local yards cluster east and north of the city โ€” near the Ship Channel, Baytown and Cypress โ€” close to where the boxes come off the ships.

Delivery Notes for Houston

Most Houston deliveries are tilt-bed drops that need about 80 to 100 ft of straight run for a 20ft and about 120 ft for a 40ft, plus 12 to 14 ft of width and 14 to 16 ft of overhead clearance. Set the box on level, firm ground โ€” concrete, compacted gravel, or solid blocking under the corners โ€” and pick a spot that does not hold standing water: Houston's heavy Gulf rain and flat ground find a low site fast, and standing water rusts floors and binds doors. Decide the exact spot and door direction before delivery day, because moving a set container takes another truck.
