How to Pick the Right Size

Start with Large Items

Measure couches, mattresses, appliances, cabinets, equipment, or vehicles before choosing a unit.

Plan for Access

Leave a small walkway if you will need to access items regularly. Stacking everything tight can make later visits difficult.

Use Matching Totes

Uniform totes stack cleaner and use vertical space better than mixed boxes.

Common Recommendations

Tip: When in doubt, go one size up. The difference in cost is smaller than the frustration of a unit that is too tight to work in.
