Perfect for Manhattan Moves of All Types
Whether you’re moving into a new apartment, relocating your office, or packing up for college, our reusable plastic bins are versatile enough to meet your moving needs.
Residential Moves
You may have thought about sourcing free moving boxes or considered cheap moving boxes to save money. But have you considered renting your moving boxes instead? Plastic boxes protect everyday household items better than cardboard and don’t fall apart when packed with heavier belongings. For apartment buildings and walk-ups, their uniform size keeps moves organized and hallways clear. Plus, when the move is done, there’s no waste to dispose of, making your moving process 100% waste-free and easier
Office Moves
One of the factors to consider when relocating a business is the cost. Business owners can significantly lower their moving expenses by choosing to rent moving boxes instead of purchasing them. The boxes arrive preassembled, allowing teams to pack, move, and get back to work faster. Their stackable and sturdy design also makes it easier for them to stack efficiently in elevators and protect electronics, files, and office supplies during transport.
College & Student Moves
College moves are time-sensitive, especially during busy periods like college move-in and move-out day when supplies sell out quickly. Renting moving boxes ensures you get high-quality, sturdy bins delivered on time for move-in day. Their durable design also prevents them from collapsing under the weight of school supplies and dorm essentials. And once everything is unpacked, the boxes are picked up for you, making the move significantly easier and less stressful for both students and parents.

Moving with cardboard boxes is a pain. Get pre-assembled bins delivered in Manhattan to your door and move hassle-free with Stack!
Stack eliminates the need for you to source, break down, or fill up your trash can with cardboard boxes.
Here’s Why Reusable Boxes Are Better Than Cardboard
The type of boxes you use can either make the move smoother or add unnecessary stress. Here’s a clear breakdown of how reusable plastic moving bins compare to traditional cardboard boxes in a city move.
Cardboard Boxes
Cardboard boxes need to be taped and reinforced, which adds time before packing even begins. Also, in rainy or humid NYC weather, cardboard can get soggy and lose strength, putting your belongings at risk. They’re also more prone to pests, which is a common concern in densely populated urban environments. Even when packed carefully, cardboard boxes can collapse, making stacking and transport less reliable during a Manhattan move.
Reusable Bins
Cardboard boxes can make even a simple move stressful because of their tendency to collapse and create clutter in shared spaces. Fortunately, plastic bins solve these problems, giving you a stronger, cleaner, and more organized way to pack and move in since:
- They come pre-assembled: you can start packing right away without dealing with tape or folding.
- They stack neatly in elevators: their uniform, stackable shape makes them easy to line up in elevators and maneuver through narrow hallways without tipping or collapsing.
- They’re water-resistant: these bins don’t absorb water or weaken in the rain, which is a big deal during NYC moves.
- They have attached lids: no need to worry about missing tops or spilled contents.
- They keep hallways clean: unlike cardboard, reusable bins don’t leave scraps, tape, or debris in shared spaces.
- They don’t require special NYC recycling rules: NYC sanitation doesn’t require any special handling for reusable bins because there’s nothing to dispose or break down
| Feature | Reusable Bins | Cardboard Boxes |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly | Pre-assembled | Must be assembled and taped |
| Weather | Don’t collapse in rain | Get soggy on rainy NYC days |
| Space | Stack neatly in elevators | Fill trash rooms instantly |
| Cleanliness | No mess in hallways | Prone to pests |
| Durability | Strong, attached lids | Collapse under weight |
| NYC Rules | No special recycling rules needed | Must follow NYC recycling guidelines |

Moving in Manhattan means co-ops, prewar walk-ups, and doorman buildings with a freight elevator you have to book.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
If you don’t see your question here or want a more detailed explanation, you are welcome to book a free consultation to get personalized guidance for your situation.
Moving boxes in Manhattan
-
Most Manhattan co-ops and doorman buildings require a certificate of insurance and a booked freight elevator before move day. Stack delivers the bins, so reserve your elevator window with the building and we drop off inside it. Ask the board or management for their COI rules about a week ahead.
-
Plenty of moves here happen in an older walk-up with a narrow, winding stair and no elevator. The bins are sized to clear tight stairwells and stack on a dolly, so a fourth or fifth-floor unit moves in fewer trips. Tell us the floor so the driver comes ready.
-
Better than cardboard. A box left on a salted stoop or a slushy sidewalk goes soft and splits; the sealed bins latch shut and shrug it off. Humid summers soften cardboard too, so the plastic holds up either way.
-
There’s rarely a driveway, so a clear stretch of curb near the entrance makes drop-off quick. We deliver bins rather than run a full moving truck, so no street permit is needed for the drop; just hold a spot near the door when you can.
-
A studio or one-bedroom usually fits our Studio or 1-Bedroom bundle. A larger prewar apartment on the Upper West Side needs more. Between sizes? Size up. Returning a few empty bins beats running short mid-move.
-
You can rent moving boxes from companies like Stack Moves. We’re a U.S.-based moving company that has supported hundreds of residential, corporate, and college moves, and we can’t wait to be of service to you.
-
Yes, in most cases someone 18 or older must be present to receive and sign for the boxes. If you won’t be available, let us know ahead of time. We may be able to arrange a contactless delivery if there’s a safe, accessible place to leave the boxes.
-
Our pricing, which ranges from $149 to $299 per week, depends on the number of boxes you need. Plus, we offer discounted rates to users who would like to rent boxes for longer than a week. For example, renting 15 boxes for one week costs $149, and keeping them for a second week costs just $60 more, which is less than half the initial weekly rate.
-
The number of boxes needed for a move largely depends on the size of the move. We recommend using our moving box calculator to estimate how many boxes you’ll need based on your home or office size and belongings.
-
Yes, we do. Every rental comes with complimentary packing materials like labels and dollies to help you to make tracking and transporting your boxes easier. It’s a simple way to save money on supplies you’d normally have to buy separately.
-
Our standard boxes are about the size of a large cardboard moving box. They measure 27” x 17” at the top, 24.5” x 14.5” at the bottom, and are 13” tall. This size is easy to carry and works well for apartments and walk-ups common in Manhattan.
-
It depends on your priorities. Buying cardboard boxes can be convenient, but costs add up and most boxes are used once and discarded. Renting reusable plastic moving boxes is often more cost-effective and better for the environment.
-
Yes, you can. Just contact our Manhattan team before your scheduled pickup date and let us know how long you need the extension for. Please note, you’ll be charged an additional weekly rate for the extra time.
-
Plans change, and we understand that. You can cancel for free up to 12 hours before your scheduled delivery. Cancellations made within 12 hours are subject to a $25 convenience fee. If the boxes have already been delivered, you can still cancel, but a $99 restocking fee applies.
-
Delivery and pick-up fees depend on your location and order size. There are no surprise charges after booking, so any applicable fees will be clearly shown during checkout before you finalize your order.
-
No, we do not. Stack is a door-to-door delivery service, and we only deliver to the closest accessible point outside your home or apartment, such as the front door, garage, or curbside.
-
Not a problem. We give movers the option to either handle these themselves or call us for assistance. Please note there’s an extra $10 charge for this service.
-
Absolutely! Each bin is professionally cleaned and sanitized after use to ensure they remain in good condition.
-
Since the boxes are reusable, there’s no breaking down or recycling involved. Just empty them out and have them ready at pickup, and we’ll handle the rest.
