20ft, 40ft, high cube, modified, and refrigerated containers delivered to the St. Louis metro area, including Clayton, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, University City and Maplewood.
St. Louis is an independent city that belongs to no county at all, and it anchors a bi-state metro that runs from Lincoln and Warren counties in the north down through Jefferson County and east across the Mississippi into the Metro East counties of Illinois. Deliveries reach St. Louis County, St. Charles, Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln, Warren, Ste. Genevieve, Washington, Madison (IL), St. Clair (IL), Monroe (IL) and Clinton (IL) counties. Delivery areas include Downtown, Downtown West, Soulard, Lafayette Square, Benton Park, Cherokee Street, Gravois Park, Dutchtown, Bevo Mill, Holly Hills, Carondelet, Tower Grove South, Tower Grove East, Shaw, Botanical Heights, Compton Heights, South Grand, the Hill, Dogtown, Lindenwood Park, St. Louis Hills, Princeton Heights, Southampton, the Central West End, Forest Park Southeast, Skinker DeBaliviere, DeBaliviere Place, Midtown, Grand Center, the Ville, Fountain Park, Old North St. Louis, Hyde Park, College Hill, Penrose and Baden.
The City of St. Louis regulates land use through its own zoning code, Title 26 of the Revised Code, administered by the Zoning Section of the Building Division inside the Department of Public Safety. Building permits are issued by the Building Division's Permits Section, so allowed here and permitted to build are two separate questions with two separate answers. Because the city is independent of any county, there is no county zoning layer on a city address. Outside the city line, St. Louis County and its municipalities each have their own code, and St. Charles, Jefferson and Franklin counties are separate again.

A brick two family or bungalow on the south side, in Old North or on the near north side can sit on a narrow lot with no garage. When one of those houses gets gutted, a container in the yard or the alley holds cabinetry, flooring, salvaged millwork and tools on site for the length of the rehab rather than in a unit across town.
A crew working in the city, the county or St. Charles can use a container as the one lockable box on site. Copper, tools, appliances and specialty material stay behind a single door instead of being loaded onto a trailer at the end of every day on a street where parking is already tight.
Around Lambert and through the north county industrial corridor, fixtures, dunnage, racks and returnable packaging can outgrow the floor space. A container on the yard takes the overflow and can move when a program changes over, which a permanent building addition cannot.
Kegs, dry goods, patio furniture, festival equipment and seasonal displays for a restaurant, brewery or retailer on the Hill, in Soulard, the Grove or on South Grand do not need to sit inside the building. A container in the back lot can carry the overflow.
In Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln and Warren counties, a container can keep feed, fencing, seed, chemical and small implements dry and secure on acreage, without the footings a pole barn needs.
Both river bottoms flood. A container set on high ground gives equipment, records and seasonal inventory somewhere dry to sit when the forecast turns, and it can be relocated, which a shed on a slab cannot.
