How Many Moving Bins Do I Need?

Bedroom count is a weak predictor. Volume of belongings is the real one.

There is no honest formula that turns a bedroom count into a bin count. Two identical three-bedroom homes can differ by dozens of bins depending on how long the household has lived there and how much is in the garage.

What actually drives the number

  • How many years of belongings have accumulated
  • Kitchen contents, which are dense and bin-hungry
  • Books, tools, hobby gear and garage storage
  • Closets and linens, which are bulky but light
  • How much you plan to donate or sell before the move

If you are between sizes

Going one size up usually costs less than an extra delivery trip later. Extra bins can also be added in blocks if inventory allows. When you request availability, describe the home and we will tell you what we would send.
