Plastic Moving Bin Rental Questions
Everything people ask before booking bins for a Santa Clarita Valley move.
The product
The product
What are plastic moving bins?
They are rigid commercial-grade plastic containers with attached hinged lids, used in place of cardboard boxes while you pack and move. They arrive ready to use, stack when full and nest when empty.
Are moving bins the same as moving totes?
In this industry, yes. Some companies and customers say moving totes, others say moving bins. Both describe the same rigid plastic container with a lid.
Are moving totes the same as plastic moving boxes?
Yes. Plastic moving box, reusable moving box, moving crate and plastic moving container all point at the same rental product.
Are these cardboard boxes?
No. Nothing we deliver is cardboard. The bins are moulded plastic with attached lids.
Do I have to assemble them?
No. There is no flat-pack step — the bins arrive fully formed with the lids already attached.
Do I need packing tape?
No. The attached hinged lids close on their own, so there is no tape to buy and nothing to cut open later.
Can I rent plastic moving boxes instead of buying cardboard?
That is exactly what this service is. You rent the bins for your packing and moving window and hand them back empty instead of owning a pile of boxes afterward.

How it works
How it works
Do you move my belongings?
No. We are not a moving company. We rent and deliver empty bins and dollies. You pack, and you move your belongings yourself or with a mover you hire.
How long is the rental?
Standard rentals run seven days, measured from delivery to pickup.
Can I extend my rental?
Yes, when the bins are not already reserved for another booking. Short overruns are charged by the day and longer ones by the week.
How many bins do I need?
It depends on how much you own rather than on bedroom count. The 20-bin package suits smaller moves, 40 is popular for apartments and moderate household moves, and 60 fits larger homes. Not sure? Tell us about your move and we will help you choose.
Are dollies included?
Yes. Every package includes dollies — one with the small package, two with medium and three with large.
Can I use them for an apartment move?
Yes, and apartments are one of the most common uses. Let us know about elevators, stairs and parking so the delivery and pickup go smoothly.
Can I use them for an office move?
Yes. Offices and small commercial moves work the same way: we deliver, your team packs, and we collect the empty bins afterward.
Care and returns
Care and returns
Do I need to clean the bins?
Just return them empty and free of debris. Normal cleaning and normal wear are included at no charge.
Are the bins cleaned between customers?
Yes. Every bin is inspected and cleaned after each rental before it goes out again.
What happens if a bin is lost?
A lost or destroyed bin is charged at the published replacement fee, and a broken lid that makes a bin unusable is treated the same way. The full fee schedule is on the rental terms page.
What if my moving date changes?
Tell us as soon as you know. Reschedules depend on inventory, and the cancellation policy explains how changes close to your delivery date are handled.
