Rental questions
What does STORVA provide?
Clean, empty 27-gallon black totes with yellow snap-on lids. You pack and handle your own belongings. We collect the empty equipment afterward. Totes can also be used for a remodel or room-by-room project at your current address.
How long is the included rental?
Dorm / Studio: 1 week · 1 Bedroom: 2 weeks · 2–3 Bedrooms: 2 weeks · 4+ Bedrooms: 2 weeks. Choose drop-off and empty-tote pickup dates when booking.
Is renting totes better than buying bins?
It depends on how long you need them. Renting suits a project measured in days or weeks, with nothing to keep afterward. Buying may make sense if you need containers for many months or want to keep them.
Are dollies included?
Black 4-wheel dollies are included in the 1 Bedroom and larger packages. Dorm / Studio does not include a dolly.
When are totes delivered and collected?
Empty totes are delivered on your selected date by 10 PM. Next-day delivery and pickup are free. On pickup day: totes out by 8 AM. Deliveries are contactless, so no one needs to be home.

Three ways to get packing containers
Most households choose one of three routes. The first is delivered tote rental: a company drops off empty plastic totes at your address and picks them up after you unpack. The second is pick-up-and-return rental: you collect totes from a location, transport them yourself and bring them back when you finish. The third is buying your own plastic bins from a store and keeping them afterward.
Each route can work. The right one depends on how much time you have, whether you have a vehicle that can carry dozens of empty totes, and whether you want to keep containers after the project ends.
What STORVA's delivered rental includes
STORVA rents 27-gallon black totes with yellow snap-on lids, sanitized between rentals, with black 4-wheel dollies included in the one-bedroom and larger packages. Free next-day delivery & pickup. Totes arrive by 10 PM on your drop-off date, deliveries are contactless, and on pickup day the empty totes go out by 8:00 AM. Prices are listed on the pricing page and charged as shown at checkout.
Because we bring the totes and take them back, there are no trips to a store or rental counter, and nothing to keep or find space for afterward. You handle your own belongings; we handle the empty equipment.
When another option may fit better
If you live outside Dallas–Fort Worth, a delivered rental from STORVA is not available, so a pick-up-and-return rental or buying bins makes more sense. If you need containers for many months, buying your own bins may cost less over time than renting by the week. If you already have a truck and pass a rental location on your way, picking up totes yourself can work well.
Questions to ask any provider
Before you book any tote rental, ask: How large are the totes, and do the lids attach or snap on? How long is the included rental, and what does an extension cost? Is delivery and pickup included at your address, and do you need to be home? Are dollies included or extra? Are the totes cleaned between rentals? What happens if a tote is missing at pickup? Getting those answers in writing makes it easy to compare total cost and effort side by side.
