Our story

We've packed up a home or two ourselves.

Bin & Co. started the way most good ideas do: while surrounded by moving boxes, wondering why this had to be so hard.

How it started

From a driveway full of soggy boxes to a better way to move

After one too many moves with collapsing cardboard, packing tape stuck to everything but the box, and a driveway full of soaked, torn boxes after a surprise rainstorm, we knew there had to be a better way.

So we built it: a fleet of sturdy, attached-lid crates you can rent for exactly as long as you need them. Snap them shut, stack them, move them — and hand them right back when you're settled in. No trip to the recycling center. No basement full of flattened boxes you'll never use again.

We're moms who've done this ourselves, with toddlers underfoot and moving trucks on the clock. Bin & Co. is the service we wished existed back then — and now it's here for you.

Christie is a co-founder of Bin & Co. and a successful local realtor who's helped countless families move into — and out of — homes over the years.

Co-Founder

Rubyna is a co-founder of Bin & Co., a mom of four, and a self-described full-time champagne supplier who knows exactly how busy life gets. The idea for Bin & Co. came from her own move — reusable plastic bins were a lifesaver, no cardboard, no tape, no boxes falling apart. Together with another busy mom, she built Bin & Co. so other families could move the same easy way. Moving is stressful. Your boxes don't have to be.
