KY Tote Co

Totes vs. cardboard boxes

Reusable totes cost about the same as a stack of cardboard boxes you use once, and hold up a lot better along the way, whether you are moving across Lexington or out of the county.

Cardboard on the porch, totes on the dolly. Every package includes a dolly, so a loaded tote rolls instead of being carried one armful at a time.

Before you pack

Totes arrive ready to pack: nothing to buy, nothing to assemble, and no tape. A cardboard move starts with a store run and an hour of folding boxes.

On moving day

Uniform totes stack securely on the dolly and load tight in a truck, and they are water resistant, so rain on the driveway does not end with a collapsed box.

After the move

We pick everything up when you are done. No flattening, no recycling run, and no stack of empty boxes living in the garage.
