Moving box rental questions
Where can I rent plastic moving boxes in Rochester, NY?
ROC Tote & Go rents plastic moving boxes across Rochester and all of Monroe County. Flat two-week packages start at $119 and include free delivery, free pickup, a dolly, labels and zip ties.
Is renting moving bins cheaper than buying cardboard boxes?
Usually, yes. A three-bedroom home takes roughly 90 to 110 cardboard boxes once the kitchen, closets and basement are counted. At a few dollars each, plus tape and packing paper, that is commonly $250 or more, and you still have to haul them home and get rid of them. Our 3 Bedroom package is $249 for 50 totes and two dollies, delivered and picked up.
What size are the moving crates?
Each one is 27 x 17 x 12 inches outside and 25.5 x 15.5 x 11.8 inches inside, 2.5 cubic feet or 18.75 gallons. That is about 1.7 small moving boxes, or most of a medium one. The lids are attached and fold shut, so nothing gets lost and they stack securely.
Are reusable moving boxes better for the environment?
A plastic tote gets used for hundreds of moves. Cardboard boxes typically get used once or twice before they are recycled or thrown out. Renting also means nothing is left over in your garage.
Do the bins come clean?
Every tote is washed, sanitized and dried after each rental, then inspected before it goes back out.
