Totes10 Reasons to Rent Moving Totes (That Aren't Just Moving!)
Moving totes aren't only for moving to a new house. People rent them for renovations, flood cleanup, home staging, decluttering, college move in, office moves and estate cleanouts too. Same deal every time: we drop the totes at your door, you pack, and we pick them up when you're done.
Think moving totes are only for moving to a new house? Think again. Our reusable 27 gallon totes make all kinds of projects easier, cleaner and a whole lot less stressful. Here are ten ways people around Ocean County and Monmouth County use them.
1. Moving to a new home
The obvious one. Skip the cardboard, the tape and the box assembly. Totes stack straight, the lids snap on, and nothing caves in at the bottom of the truck. Not sure how many you need? The room by room guide breaks it down.
2. Apartment moves
Moving in, out or across town. Apartments usually mean stairs, elevators and tight hallways, which is where a stack of totes on a dolly beats carrying soggy boxes one at a time. Our Studio package is 20 totes and the 1 Bedroom package is 30, so smaller places are covered.
3. College move in or move out
Dorm moves without the box mountain. Totes fit in a car trunk, survive a rainy curb, and you don't have to find a dumpster for a pile of flattened cardboard on move out day.
4. Home renovations
Redoing a kitchen or a bathroom means everything in it has to go somewhere. Pack it into totes, stack them in another room or the garage, and your stuff stays clean and organized while the dust flies.
5. Flood or water damage cleanup
After a leak or a storm, you need to get belongings out of the way fast while repairs happen. Plastic totes with lids hold up a lot better than cardboard does around wet floors and fans running for days.
6. Home staging
Stash the clutter before you list. Buyers want clean counters and empty closets in the photos. Pack the extras into totes, stack them neatly in the garage, and you are halfway packed by the time the house sells.
7. Decluttering and organizing
Garage, closet, spare room. Done. Totes give you a keep, donate and toss system that you can actually move around, and they go back to us when the project is finished instead of living in your basement forever.
8. Temporary storage
Between homes or just rearranging. Every package is a full 2 weeks, and if you need longer, extra weeks are a flat rate per package. Just let us know before your scheduled pickup.
9. Office relocations
Files, supplies and essentials. Lids keep paperwork together and dry, and totes stack clean in a hallway so the office can keep working right up until the move.
10. Downsizing or estate cleanouts
Sort and pack without the box hunt. Whether it's a move into a smaller home or clearing out a family member's house, totes make it easy to sort as you go. Our guide to downsizing into a 55 and over community has more on deciding what makes the trip.
The best part
