515Moving Totes

Moving totes and bins delivered in Des Moines, Iowa

  • Based in Polk City, about 25 minutes away
  • Free delivery and pickup

Des Moines proper is a mix of 1920s bungalows in Beaverdale and Drake, Victorian flats in Sherman Hill, downtown lofts in the East Village, and newer homes on the south side. Older houses mean narrow stairs and small landings, and lofts mean elevators and loading docks. The tote dolly handles both better than a hand truck stacked with boxes.

How does moving tote rental work?

Pick a package online and choose a delivery day. We drop a stack of clean totes, lids, labels, and a tote dolly at your current home. You pack, move, and unpack at your own pace. On your pickup day we collect everything from your new home. Delivery and pickup are included inside the Des Moines metro.

How many totes do I need?

A studio fits in about 15 totes and a one-bedroom in 20. A two-bedroom home is about 40, a three-bedroom about 60, and a four-bedroom or larger about 80. If you have a full basement or a packed garage, add a pack of 10. Totes are the same size as a large moving box, so if you have ever counted boxes, count the same way.

What is included in every package?

Delivery to your current home, pickup from your new home, a 14 day rental, one 4-wheel tote dolly, lids, labels, and zip ties. Totes are washed and sanitized between every rental.

Where do you deliver?

Free delivery and pickup anywhere within 25 miles of our Polk City base: the whole Des Moines metro from Waukee to Altoona and down to Norwalk, plus Ames, Nevada, Boone, and Perry. From 25 to 40 miles, including Indianola, Winterset, Newton, and Story City, delivery is a flat $59 per order that covers both stops, with a $169 minimum order. Enter your ZIP on the booking page and it tells you right away.

How long can I keep the totes?

Every package includes 14 days. If you need longer, add extra weeks when you book or call us during your rental. Plenty of customers keep them an extra week while they settle in.
