Burlington moving supplies
First, to be clear: these are reusable plastic moving bins with secure lids — hand-carried moving boxes that hold 102 litres each, not dumpsters or portable storage containers.
Buying cardboard for a Burlington move means a store run, a roll of tape and a pile of flattened boxes at the end. Binsley drops off reusable moving bins for $5 each the first week and takes them away when you're done.
Whether you're leaving a lakeshore condo or a family home in Millcroft, the bins stack loaded, snap shut with a lid and travel dry even if moving day turns wet.
$5 per bin for the first week · $1.50 per bin each extra week · delivery & pickup included.

Burlington's condo towers and 3-bedroom subdivisions split roughly between 20-bin condo moves and 40-to-60-bin family moves.

Burlington splits neatly into two kinds of move. South of the QEW you have lakeshore condo towers and older Roseland streets, where the constraint is the loading dock and the elevator booking. North of Dundas — Millcroft, Alton Village, The Orchard — you have 3 and 4 bedroom subdivisions with double driveways and no access problem at all, just volume.
The condo buildings along Lakeshore and Brant are the fussiest part of any Burlington move. Most require a certificate of insurance from your mover, a booked freight elevator and a specific loading entrance. Bins help here because they stack four high on a dolly and go up in far fewer elevator trips than loose boxes.
Alton Village and The Orchard are newer builds with finished basements and deep garages. In practice that means the bin count runs higher than people first guess, and the last load is always sports gear and seasonal storage.
Lakeshore and Brant Street buildings usually restrict moving hours and require the freight elevator to be reserved. Set your bin delivery for a day or two before that window.
In the north-end subdivisions, load bins onto a dolly in the garage and roll them out. Lids mean a light rain does not force you to stop.
Millcroft and Headon Forest homes almost all have a finished lower level. It is routinely 15 to 20 bins on its own.
Big-box and storage retailers along the QEW and Fairview sell flat-pack cardboard, and there is a steady supply of free used boxes locally. The trade-off is time: sourcing, assembling and taping enough boxes for a 3 bedroom Burlington home is most of an evening, and you still have to flatten and recycle every one of them afterwards.
Better than U-Haul boxes
A bundle of 20 U-Haul medium cardboard boxes costs about $90.54 delivered to Burlington — and you still buy tape, get less space per box, and recycle everything afterwards. Twenty of our 102 L reusable bins are $113 all in, with free labels and a dolly included.
You can buy cardboard at hardware and storage stores or collect used boxes for free. The simpler option in Burlington is renting reusable plastic moving bins from Binsley — they arrive at your door for $5 per bin the first week and we pick them up when you're unpacked.
$5 per bin for the first week and $1.50 per bin for each extra week. Delivery and pickup in Burlington are included, and only the first week is charged at checkout.
Burlington's condo towers and 3-bedroom subdivisions split roughly between 20-bin condo moves and 40-to-60-bin family moves. As a rule of thumb, about 20 bins suits a 1 bedroom, 40 a 2 to 3 bedroom, and 60 or more a larger home. Each bin holds 102 litres, roughly a medium moving box.
We deliver across Burlington, including Downtown Burlington, Aldershot, Roseland, Tyandaga, Millcroft. Enter your postal code at checkout and we'll confirm instantly.

For most moves, yes. One bin is reused for hundreds of moves and washed between each one, it won't collapse under weight, and the lid keeps everything dry — no tape, no assembly and nothing to recycle afterwards.
No. Our moving bins are reusable plastic moving boxes with secure lids — each one holds 102 litres and is carried by hand, about the size of a medium cardboard box. They are not waste dumpsters or portable storage containers.
Yes. We deliver to the building entrance or loading area you specify, including the towers along Lakeshore Road and Brant Street. Tell us the access details in the order notes, and check whether your building needs the freight elevator booked for the delivery itself.
Bins from $5 each for the first week, delivered across Burlington on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
