CLEARWATER, Fla., Dec. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PODS Enterprises, LLC, the industry leader in portable moving and storage solutions, is pleased to announce it will support the Times Square Alliance and the 2022 Times Square New Year's Eve Ball Drop celebration for the twelfth consecutive year, by efficiently moving and storing all of the items used and distributed during the festivities. By having PODS containers on-site, event staff benefit from the flexibility and simplicity of built-in storage options, including transportation to and from PODS' secure Storage Center for staged operations around Times Square.

The Times Square Alliance works to improve and promote Times Square, with its largest event being the New Year's Eve celebration, which it co-organizes with Countdown Entertainment. PODS provides the organization with a custom solution solving storage and logistics challenges inherent in an event of this size, alleviating the staff's pain points of time and logistics of moving and storing the tremendous number of celebratory items distributed to attendees at the event.

"Our team is proud to partner with the Times Square Alliance, for the twelfth year, to help support its mission."

To execute the world-renowned event, all of the celebratory items are preloaded into PODS portable containers at a local PODS storage facility in Long Island, NY. This year, 19 PODS containers will be filled with hats, balloons, scarves, and mittens to be shared with revelers.

The containers are then delivered overnight to various locations around Times Square, using PODZILLA^®, PODS' level container, hydraulic lifting equipment. The containers provide easy access to items for event staff, and they prevent disruptions to traffic or local businesses. PODS containers also help ensure the celebration is executed seamlessly and enjoyed by the billions of people watching worldwide and the thousands of people expected to come to Times Square to ring in the New Year.
