storage bins

Organizational plastic tubs

Storage bins are containers designed for organizing and holding items, typically made of plastic, fabric, or metal.

They range from small desktop organizers to large garage containers, and may be stackable, lidded, or open-topped.

I need some storage bins for the kids' toys.

The term often implies household organization rather than industrial use.
