REUSABLE BINS FROM MAKE MOVING EASY! 

Rentacrate, an approved E&I vendor, provides products and services to ensure a faster and easier move process.  The Rentacrate crate is a specially designed reusable container that can be used in conjunction with a wheeled cart or alone as a tote.  Therefore, they are an excellent alternative to one-time use cardboard boxes!

Temple University has successfully used Rentacrate bins for the 2008 & 2009 dormitory move-in days.  Rentacrate can also be used by offices within the University for small or large moves.  There are several sizes for different needs, but all speed up the moving process dramatically.  With this system, it is possible to reduce moving expenses by up to 40%!
