    Common Moving Challenges in Long Island

    Long Island moves come with a few unique hurdles that can make packing and transport more stressful than expected. Using plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes can help avoid these expected setbacks while protecting your belongings in the process.

    1. High Humidity and Sudden Rain

    Long Island’s coastal weather often brings humidity and sudden rain, which can weaken cardboard boxes. Our waterproof plastic moving boxes prevent this issue entirely, keeping clothes, electronics, and kitchenware dry and secure, no matter the weather.

    2. Tight Parking Near Apartment Buildings

    Parking can be limited near apartment complexes in Hempstead, Mineola, and other dense areas. Our rental package includes stackable boxes and dollies that simplify transporting your items safely from the curb to your unit, reducing the risk of injury or dropped items.

    3. Busy Move-In and Move-Out Days Near Universities

    College move-in day at colleges like Stony Brook University or Farmingdale State College can be chaotic, with heavy traffic and congested parking. Our durable plastic bins prevent crush damage and stack uniformly, making packing and moving more organized and less stressful for students and parents alike.

    4. Old Homes with Narrow Staircases

    Many Long Island homes, particularly in Garden City, Long Beach, and Syosset, have tight stairwells. Lifting bulky cardboard boxes can be awkward and unsafe. Our ergonomic-handled moving boxes are easier to lift, reducing strain while keeping items stable during transport up or down stairs.

    5. Long Drives Across Counties

    Moves across the county, whether from Ronkonkoma to Huntington or Commack to Freeport, can shake and shift items in standard cardboard boxes. Our secure plastic bins prevent shifting, protecting fragile items on long drives and ensuring a smoother, worry-free moving experience.

    Why Long Island Residents Prefer Reusable Plastic Moving Boxes

    More Long Island residents are opting for plastic boxes over cardboard ones because of their durability, affordability, and overall convenience. From better protection in humid weather to easier handling in tight spaces, these boxes have proven themselves to be a more reliable and stress-free way to move. Here are the top five reasons why plastic boxes are better than cardboard boxes:

    • Built for Long Island homes: Our moving boxes feature ergonomic handles and a stackable design, which makes lifting and carrying heavy items much easier. Even in older homes with narrow staircases, residents can move their belongings safely without straining themselves or risking damage.

    • Weatherproof and durable: The boxes are completely resistant to humidity and sudden rain, keeping clothing, electronics, and other fragile items safe. Unlike cardboard boxes, which can quickly weaken and collapse in Long Island’s coastal weather, our plastic bins maintain their shape and integrity.

    • Perfect for long drives: Whether you’re traveling along the LIE (I-495) or Sunrise Highway, our moving boxes stay secure and intact throughout the trip. This ensures that delicate items like glassware, electronics, and keepsakes arrive at your new home undamaged.

    • Stack securely in storage or ferries: Our boxes are designed to stack evenly, making them ideal for temporary storage units, garages, or moves involving ferries. You can organize multiple boxes efficiently without worrying about tipping or crushing. This saves you both space and time.

    • Eco-friendly and reusable: By using plastic moving boxes, you reduce the waste generated by single-use cardboard. These durable bins can be reused for multiple moves, making them a sustainable and cost-effective choice for Long Island residents who value environmental responsibility.

    Pros of Renting Moving Boxes in Long Island

    Plastic Moving Boxes vs Cardboard Boxes in Long Island

    When preparing for a move, it’s natural to first think about grabbing free moving boxes from friends, family, or local stores. The problem with using free boxes is that you can’t control the quality and quantity of boxes you would get. Another issue with this method is that it’s time-consuming and expensive since you often end up spending extra on packing tape and transportation just to get them in decent condition and hauled home.

    Renting plastic moving bins is not only more affordable but also more convenient. With most moving box rentals, including ours, you don’t have to worry about delivery and pickup since we take care of that for you. You also get durable, stackable boxes designed to protect your belongings, often at a lower overall cost once you factor in supplies and time saved. On top of that, reusable plastic boxes are an eco-friendly option, reducing cardboard waste while providing a cleaner, more reliable moving solution.

    Affordable

    Renting plastic is a similar all-in cost to cardboard boxes without the need to purchase tape.

    Efficient & Hassle-Free

    We deliver bins to your home in Long Island and pick them up post-move so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of sourcing, putting together, or discarding cardboard boxes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Got questions about moving with plastic boxes on Long Island? We’ve compiled our most common questions to help you make an informed choice. If you have a question that isn’t here, feel free to reach out, and a member of our team will be happy to help you.


    Are Plastic Moving Boxes Better Than Cardboard Boxes for Long Island Moves?

    In coastal areas like Long Island, plastic moving boxes tend to hold up better than cardboard boxes. They’re waterproof, sturdier, and less likely to collapse in humid or rainy conditions, which helps protect your belongings during the move.

    How Much Do Plastic Moving Box Rentals Cost on Long Island?

    Pricing varies based on how many boxes you need and how long you rent them. While cardboard can look cheaper at first, plastic box rentals often save you money once you factor in delivery, pickup, and avoided supply costs.

    Do You Provide Moving Supplies With the Boxes?

    Yes, we do. Each rental includes complimentary dollies and labels to help keep everything organized. This reduces the need to purchase extra supplies separately.

    How Big Are the Boxes?

    Each standard-size box is equivalent to a large cardboard box and measures 27” by 17” at the top, 24.5” by 14.5” at the bottom, and 13” tall. They’re perfect for packing all sorts of household essentials like small appliances, kitchenware (pots, pans, and dishes), and bedding.

    Do Plastic Moving Boxes Protect Items Better in Rain and Humidity?

    Unlike cardboard, plastic moving boxes don’t absorb moisture. That means your clothes, electronics, and paperwork stay dry even if you’re moving during sudden rain or high humidity.

    Are Plastic Moving Boxes Safe for Fragile Items?

    Thanks to their sturdy design and uniform size, plastic boxes reduce shifting and crushing during transport. This makes them a reliable option for dishes, glassware, pictures, and other fragile household items.

    How Many Plastic Moving Boxes Do I Need?

    The right number depends on your home size and how much stuff you are packing. Many people start with a recommended package and adjust as they pack. With the help of our moving box calculator, you can accurately estimate how many boxes you’d need for your move.

    Are Plastic Moving Boxes Eco-Friendly?

    Compared to single-use cardboard, reusable plastic boxes are a more sustainable option. They cut down on waste and reduce the need for new packing materials with every move.

    Are Reusable Plastic Moving Boxes Clean and Sanitized?

    Absolutely! We clean and sanitize ALL our boxes between rentals. This ensures you receive boxes that are hygienic, odor-free, and safe for your personal belongings.

    Are There Extra Charges for Stairs or Walk-Ups?

    We charge a $10 fee if you’d like our team to carry the boxes up or down stairs. But, if you choose to handle the stairs yourself, there’s no additional charge.


    Rent Plastic Bins for Your Move!


    Using Stack in Long Island was a game-changer for my moving day. Highly recommend!

    It was our first time using the container system for our move and we are very pleased with the entire process.  The containers help make moving much less messy and tedious, no flimsy cardboard boxes and no worrying about stacking heavier boxes on top of lighter ones. We loved everything about the company and the containers! I definitely recommend their services to everyone and we will be using them for our next move and any others after that!

    -Geannis G.

    Stack made moving stress-free and eco-friendly in Long Island. Great service!

    Using the Stack bins completely changes moving. It’s so much easier, less hassle and material. These don’t fall apart and they don’t get destroyed if it’s raining when you move. The clean up is so much easier cause there is none. I don’t know why every realtor isn’t referring these out to their clients. I wish I had these when I was doing various events at convention centers. Getting them into hotel rooms and then to the convention center would have made so many things in life so much better.

    -Mike T.

    Eco-friendly moving bins from Stack were a game-changer!

    It was so easy-prompt delivery and pickup. Moving with durable crates made moving so much easier for all involved. Many words of praise from my family, friends, and the professional movers who helped us move. Not dealing with putting the cardboard boxes together, the tape, then flattening and removing the boxes was priceless! I have had many requests for how I found you and for your name.
