How many moving bins do I need?
Short answer: plan on about 20 bins for a studio, 40 for a one- or two-bedroom apartment, 60 for a two- or three-bedroom house and 80 for a larger home. Add 10 to 20 bins for a full garage, home office or big book collection.

- Home office with paper files: add 5 to 10.
- Kids' toys: add 5 to 10 per child.
