Simple process

From request to move — stress free

We've handled the logistics so you can focus on actually moving, not hunting for boxes.

1. Request online

Pick your package, choose your dates, and add any extras. Takes two minutes.

2. We deliver

Clean, stacked 27-gallon totes show up at your door — along with any carts or dollies you need.

3. Pack and move

27-gallon totes stack perfectly, don't collapse, and hold significantly more than a standard cardboard box. Moving just got easier.

4. We pick up

Once you're settled in, we swing by and grab everything. No trips, no trips back.

About us

Built in Waukee. Built for smarter moves.

The Tote Exchange started with a simple idea: moving shouldn't mean a dozen trips hunting for cardboard boxes, a roll of tape, and a pile of crushed boxes at the end. We're a local business serving the Des Moines metro, making moves easier and greener — one 27-gallon tote at a time.

We deliver, you pack, we pick up. No waste. No hassle.
