What Haulaway Storage Containers does

Haulaway Storage Containers is a regional portable storage container rental company founded in 1968 by Cliff Ronnenberg in Stanton, California, and currently operates as a division of CR&R, a Southern California waste management and recycling conglomerate. The company rents 14-gauge steel storage containers in five standard sizes (10', 20', 21', 26', and 40') plus roll-off and cargo variants, with proprietary features including the patented Rhino Locking System, optional metal floors for hazardous materials, ventilation/turbines, and double end doors; the company handles its own delivery, placement, and pickup.

The core product is the rental of an on-site container delivered to the customer's location, priced on a quote-based, usage-driven model (per container, per rental duration, plus delivery/pickup). Customer acquisition runs primarily through phone-based inside sales (1.800.826.9040) with online quote-request forms and blog/content marketing as supporting channels; there is no app, marketplace, or third-party reseller layer. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are quote-by-quote.

The customer base is vertically diversified across construction (primary), government, healthcare, retail, education, property management, office, plus secondary segments in agriculture, events/hospitality, and residential moves/renovations. Operations span eight western U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington) supported by 14 local yard/office locations enabling typically one-business-day delivery. The company reports 101-250 employees and has no disclosed funding, acquisitions, or recent leadership changes; its primary intangible asset is the Rhino Locking System patent and its primary structural asset is the multi-state fleet and yard footprint built over five decades.
