This section provides helpful information on properly using and caring for the reusable moving bins and equipment during your rental period. It also outlines cleaning expectations, packing recommendations, and prohibited items that should not be placed inside the bins.
Our reusable moving bins are designed for moving and storage use indoors. Bins should not be left outside overnight or exposed to rain, snow, excessive moisture, or harsh weather conditions.
For safety reasons, please do not place liquids, hazardous materials, flammable items, animals, kitty litter, or other potentially damaging substances inside the bins. Customers are responsible for any damage caused by prohibited items.
Bins should be emptied and reasonably clean before pickup. If needed, customers may wipe down the bins prior to pickup. Excessively dirty or heavily soiled equipment may result in additional cleaning charges.
If a lid does not close properly, the tote may be overfilled. We recommend redistributing the contents into another bin to prevent damage and allow the totes to stack safely during transport.
