Absolutely! It’s actually quite common, our bins are used by Valley moving companies frequently, and it will save you money. You won’t have to pay inflated cardboard box prices from your moving company, or pay your movers by the hour to assemble cardboard boxes before they start packing. We’ll drop everything off before the movers arrive, allowing your movers to start packing and moving right away – saving you on the hourly labor rate.

We will make every effort to extend your rental period if needed, for a fee, as long as the bins are not already scheduled to be delivered to another customer. Please email your request and order number to info@rentgreenbin.com.

If we can bring more, we absolutely will. We have a re-delivery minimum of 5 bins at $5 each and a delivery fee may apply, depending on where you live. Please email your request and order number to info@rentgreenbin.com.

The boxes maybe free but you do not know what has been in there before. Cardboard can trap dirt, bed bugs, pet dander, chemicals or bacteria that you do not want to transfer onto your clothes, linens, or kitchen items! When preparing for treatment of bed bugs the EPA recommends eliminating all cardboard boxes (because the bugs can hide in cardboard) and replacing with plastic boxes, if you need the storage.

And do you really want to spend a full day to hassle with finding, picking-up and building boxes before packing your whole life into boxes and moving to your new place? Collecting cardboard boxes is not as easy at it sounds. Either your going to be dumpster diving in the back of grocery stores or driving to the home of a stranger you found on Craigslist. Then once you have finished with your boxes you’ll need to dispose of them.

Absolutely! Here are a few of the ways you'll save:

• Green Bins are more durable than cardboard so you'll be able to pack more in the bins without worrying about the bottom falling out. This means you'll need less bins.
• Green Bins are delivered to you ready to be packed the moment they arrive saving you hours of valuable time.
• Green Bins have attached lids which means you won't need to spend extra money on packing tape. Our bins don’t need tape.
• Green Bins neatly stack on top of another making it easy for movers to wheel them in and out of your home or into a moving truck. With movers charging an average of $50/hr per mover, even shaving one hour off the total move time will save you a significant amount of money. Green Bins pay for themselves, check out our pricing page.
