Ashoka Containers

Ashoka Containers is based at No. 44 on Street No. 5. It is a pretty straightforward place with lots of stacks of things everywhere you look. We spend most of our time moving stuff around and making sure everything is where it should be. The street is narrow so when the delivery trucks come, everything else has to stop for a minute. It’s just how things work in this part of town. We have a small crew and we’ve all been working together for a long time. The building itself is nothing special, just some bricks and a corrugated roof that makes a lot of noise when it rains. The gate at No. 44 squeaks every time someone opens it, but we never seem to get around to oiling it. We don't have any fancy reception area or anything like that. If you come by, you’ll probably find us in the back or near the loading area. The air gets a bit heavy with the smell of the materials, but we are used to it by now. We usually eat lunch together sitting on some of the crates if it’s a busy day. Street No. 5 has a lot of small businesses like ours, so there is always someone to chat with during a break. We just try to keep things organized so we can find what people need when they call. It is a lot of physical work and some days are longer than others, but we get it done.
