Moving box rental in Dundas — reusable plastic bins
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.
Dundas is full of narrow century-home staircases where a sagging cardboard box is a genuine hazard. Rigid bins with proper handles are far easier to carry down a steep flight.
We deliver throughout the valley — King Street, Governor's Road, Pleasant Valley and up toward the Peak — for $5 per bin the first week.
$5 per bin for the first week · $1.50 per bin each extra week · delivery & pickup included.

What moving in Dundas is actually like
Dundas is a valley town of century homes, and the stairs are the story. Narrow treads, tight turns at the landing and a low ceiling at the top are common in the older streets off King and Cross. A cardboard box carried two-handed blocks your view of those stairs; a rigid bin with moulded side handles does not.
Downtown King Street has on-street parking and short driveways, so load-in tends to happen from the curb. Deliveries are timed ahead of your moving day precisely so there is no truck double-parked while you carry.
Up toward the Peak and Pleasant Valley, driveways get steeper. Loaded bins should be moved down a slope one at a time rather than stacked on a dolly.
Local packing tips for Dundas
Pack lighter bins for the stairs
In a century home, half-fill bins with books and dishes. The bin can take the weight — the staircase and your back are the limit.
Measure the turn, not the doorway
Dundas staircases usually fail at the landing turn, not the door. Our bins are sized to be carried through a standard turn by one person.
Watch the valley weather
Rain runs off the escarpment fast. Lids mean a loaded bin can sit on the porch while you open the truck.
Where else can you get moving boxes in Dundas?
Downtown Dundas has hardware and shipping outlets that carry some cardboard, but rarely 40 matched boxes at once. Most people end up in Ancaster or Hamilton for the bulk of it. Renting bins keeps the whole thing to one delivery and one pickup.
Better than U-Haul boxes
A bundle of 20 U-Haul medium cardboard boxes costs about $90.54 delivered to Dundas — 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 Dundas 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.
How much does it cost to rent moving bins in Dundas?
$5 per bin for the first week and $1.50 per bin for each extra week. Delivery and pickup in Dundas are included, and only the first week is charged at checkout.
How many moving boxes or bins do I need in Dundas?
Century semis and townhomes are common, so 20 to 40 bins covers most Dundas 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.
Which parts of Dundas do you deliver to?
We deliver across Dundas, including Downtown Dundas, King Street West, Governor's Road, Pleasant Valley, Dundas Peak side. Enter your postal code at checkout and we'll confirm instantly.
When can bins be delivered and picked up?
Deliveries and pickups run Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Choose your delivery day at checkout, then request pickup from your My Rentals page when you're finished.
Are reusable bins better than cardboard moving boxes?
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.
Is a moving bin the same as a dumpster or storage container?
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.
Will the bins fit through a century home doorway and staircase?
Yes. Each bin is roughly the size of a medium cardboard box — about 102 litres — and is designed to be carried by one person through standard doorways and up or down a typical century-home staircase, including the landing turn.
