Bulk jobs are scheduling problems. Here's how we run one, from the first call to the last collection.
Desk count, file volume, unit count, floors, and how many days the move spans. Ten minutes on the phone gets us close enough to quote. For anything above a couple of hundred bins we'd rather walk the site first than guess.
Bins arrive staged against your plan — a floor at a time, a block of units at a time, or the whole volume up front if you have somewhere to put it. This is the step that separates a bulk rental from a bulk purchase, and it's usually the reason people call.
Departments or tenants pack and label their own bins. Uniform, stackable and rigid, so they load square on a truck and nothing collapses under a box of files. Dollies come at whatever ratio the job needs.
We collect on the date in the quote, not whenever a pickup slot opens up. For turnovers that matters — the building needs the corridors clear before the next intake.
Office relocations want two to three weeks' notice for a clean schedule. Student turnover weekends in late August and early September need to be locked in by July.
Every bin is the same heavy-duty tote ToteRental.ca rents: one size, rigid sides, lid attached. Here is exactly what arrives.

| Tote | HDX 102L stackable tote (model 292015-001) |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 102 L (27 US gal) |
| Size | 28.6 × 19.6 × 15.3 in (72.5 × 49.8 × 38.8 cm), exterior at the top |
| Weight | 7.2 lb (3.3 kg) empty |
| Lid | Snap-on lid with lockable slots; black base, yellow lid |
| Stacking | Manufacturer rates the lid for at least 900 lb of distributed weight stacked on top |
A bin packed full of books is too heavy to lift safely. Put books and dishes in the bottom third, fill the rest with linens, towels or clothes, snap the lid on, and roll stacks on the dolly instead of carrying them.
