Separation members are described herein that prevent two stacked storage containers from sticking to each other. In some embodiments, the separation member can have a slot in a first body portion configured to receive a handle of one storage container and have a second body portion that is configured to rest on a top edge of a another storage container. Thus, the separation member is readily positioned between two storage containers to limit the distance that the top storage container can descend into the bottom storage container to prevent a detrimental suction forming between the two storage containers. The separation member can be integrated with a storage container during the manufacturing process or can retrofit existing storage containers.
