Updated: 2 days ago
Moving tote rentals in Penticton, BC are the simple way to skip cardboard: Bin Ready drops clean 102L plastic moving totes and a free dolly at your door, you pack and move on your schedule, and we pick up the empty totes when you're done.

Whether you're moving from the Wiltse benches to a condo near Okanagan Lake, heading across the valley to Kelowna or West Kelowna, or coming south from Summerland, Peachland or Vernon, this guide covers how tote rental works in Penticton, which package fits your home, and a few local tips for a smoother move day.
How moving tote rental works in Penticton
Renting plastic moving boxes is a three-step job. There's nothing to assemble, no tape and no flattened cardboard to haul to the depot afterward.
Book your package. Pick a package and a drop-off date on our online booking page.
We drop off. Your 102L black totes with yellow snap lids and a two-wheel hand dolly arrive at your Penticton door, free.
Pack, move and call us. You pack and move at your own pace for 14 days. When the totes are empty, we pick them up, free.
One thing to know: Bin Ready is a moving tote rental company, not a moving company. We deliver and collect the empty totes; you (or your movers) move the full ones. The dolly is for rolling stacks between the house and your truck, van or SUV.

Why Penticton movers are switching to reusable moving boxes
Snap-on lids keep rain out
Fall in the South Okanagan can bring rain one day and wind the next. Our plastic moving totes have snap lids that keep belongings dry on the walk to the truck, which cardboard can't promise. Read our rain-ready fall moving guide for more on wet-weather moves.
They stack and roll
Every tote is the same 102L size, so stacks are square and steady on a dolly and in a truck box. That's a big help when you're working up a steep driveway on the West Bench or down a long condo hallway.
They're clean and eco-friendly
Every tote is sanitized between rentals. Because they're reused, you skip buying cardboard boxes, packing tape and the trip to recycle them, which makes them one of the easiest alternatives to moving boxes in the Okanagan.
The cost is clear
Moving supplies add up fast at the hardware store. We priced it out in our moving totes vs cardboard boxes cost comparison: we priced a 2-3 bedroom move both ways. With totes, the dolly, drop-off and pickup are included, and there's no cardboard or tape left to throw away afterward.
Penticton moving tips from our team
Plan around the lakes and the highway
Penticton sits between Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake, and Highway 97 is the main route north to Summerland, Peachland and Kelowna. If you're moving up the valley, leave extra time for traffic in summer and weekend afternoons, and load the heaviest moving crates first so the truck is balanced.
Book condo elevators early
Many lakeside condos and newer buildings downtown ask you to book the elevator and protect the walls. Our condo and apartment strata move guide walks you through it. Stackable totes on a dolly mean fewer trips and a shorter booking.
Pack one zone at a time
Start with rooms you use least: the garage, the guest room and seasonal gear. Our 14-day packing plan matches the rental period day by day, and our labelling guide makes the unpack fast.
Keep an open-first tote
Pack one tote with bedding, a kettle, phone chargers, toiletries and snacks, and load it last. It's the first lid you pop at the new place.
