Cottage blocks near downtown, winding lanes up in the trees, and big houses that took decades to fill: Lake Oswego moves have character, and every one of them gets free tote delivery. Flat packages from $97.

Share your move date; the south-metro route runs all week.
Bin There, Tote That! brings cleaned, sanitized moving totes to any Lake Oswego address at no charge, whether that is a First Addition cottage a few blocks from downtown or a house tucked up a wooded lane above the lake. A hand truck rides along, the rental runs a full two weeks, and when the unpacking ends we collect everything free from wherever you landed. Four flat packages, $97 to $257, and that is the whole bill.
Letting a big house go? A lot of Lake Oswego moves are the long-planned kind: owners trading a four-bedroom on the hill for something smaller and easier. Totes suit that project. They hold a sorting pile honestly, stack without collapsing, and leave with us at the end instead of haunting the new garage.
Buying in? The other classic is a family arriving for the schools and the lake, often out of a Portland rental. We deliver to the old address, you unpack at the new one, and the empties disappear on our schedule, not yours. Call or text (971) 402-0969 with your dates.
Three local realities, and cardboard loses to all of them.
The streets above the lake wind, narrow, and occasionally dead-end into a shared private drive with room for exactly one vehicle. We deliver up those lanes all the time; tell us about yours when you book and we will plan the drop accordingly. Once the totes are at the door, the included hand truck handles the sloped driveway so your back does not have to.
Long carry from street to door? Say so up front and we will stage the stack where it helps most.
A house that has held one family since the kids were small does not pack in a weekend. Totes make the sort manageable: keep, donate, and sell each get their own stack, lids snap shut on decisions already made, and nothing sits in a sagging box while you work through the next room. Seventy-five totes at $257 covers even the well-lived-in houses.
Working with an estate or a family member's house? The two-week window can be extended; just ask.
Lake Oswego sits under a lot of canopy, and the firs keep dripping long after the sky has technically stopped. A cardboard box parked on the walk during a driveway shuttle soaks it all up. Sealed tote lids do not care, so the wool coats and the photo albums cross the wet in the same condition they left the closet.
Moving in the dry months instead? End-of-month weekends still go first. Book the window early.
The same four moves from how it works, with a south-metro accent.
Cottage, condo, or hillside house, plus the move date. Mention shared drives, gates, or anywhere a van should not block; it takes two minutes by form, call, or text.
We arrive in the agreed window with sanitized totes and the hand truck, brought to the door or the garage, wherever the packing starts.
Take the full window. Downsizing sorts and family packs both fit inside fourteen days without the mid-move scramble.
New condo in town, house across the river, or an address anywhere else in the metro; we collect the empties free.
Worth knowing: the local calendar follows the housing market more than the lease cycle. When listings go up in spring, closings stack through summer, and the delivery windows around those closing dates go quickly. Downsizing moves add a second, quieter season in fall, once the family decisions get made over the holidays and acted on after. If your date is set by a sale, book the totes the week the paperwork firms up; midweek slots are the easiest to get, and rescheduling costs nothing if escrow wobbles.
The house did its job; now it is someone else's turn. Totes keep a room-by-room sort orderly, and free pickup means the smaller place never fills with flattened cardboard.
Buyers arriving for the schools usually move on a closing date that cannot slip. Totes show up on schedule, need zero assembly, and vanish once the new house feels like home.
Downtown-adjacent buildings and First Addition cottages share a trait: not much staging room. Uniform totes stack in a corner instead of colonizing the whole living room.
The neighbors, each with a page and a delivery route of its own.
Lake Oswego sits between the city and the rest of the south metro: Portland up the highway to the north, West Linn across the river, Tigard over the hill to the west, and Oregon City a short run downriver. Moves connecting any two of those addresses are one rental at one flat price, with the free delivery at the start and the free pickup at the end both included. That covers the classic local patterns too: the downsize into a Portland condo, the family arriving out of a city rental, and the sideways move to a bigger lot one suburb over.
Short version: cardboard becomes a second project after the move, weeks of flattening and hauling in a town with no shortage of better things to do. Totes leave when we do, and the new place starts clean. The full comparison does the arithmetic on cost, time, and drizzle.
| Cardboard | Our Totes | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting them | Shop, haul, assemble | Delivered free |
| In the rain | Soggy, collapsing | Sealed and dry |
| Dolly | Buy your own | Included free |
| Afterward | A pile to get rid of | We pick them up |
Four flat rates, metro-wide. A downtown condo might take ten totes at $97; the big house on the hill probably wants seventy-five at $257. The pricing page has the middle sizes too.
All packages: 2-week rental, free delivery & pickup, standard dolly included.
Totes delivered free, collected free, hand truck included. From $97.
Yes, every Lake Oswego address, free. That includes the First Addition blocks near downtown, the wooded streets above the lake, the condo buildings, and the larger properties out toward the edges of town. Narrow shared lanes and gated drives are fine; just describe the access when you book so we plan the drop correctly. The flat package price is the entire cost, hillside or not.
Usually, yes. The seventy-five-tote package at $257 handles most well-filled family houses, and totes are genuinely better for the sorting stage: each stack is a decision already made, with a lid on it. If you get mid-pack and want more, extra totes are a simple add-on. Call and we bring them.
Almost certainly. We deliver on shared drives and narrow hillside lanes across Lake Oswego regularly. Tell us where a van can pause and where it should not, and we will bring the totes the rest of the way to your door. The same plan works in reverse for pickup.
The same flat rates as everywhere we serve: $97 for ten totes, $127 for twenty-five, $197 for fifty, and $257 for seventy-five. Delivery, the hand truck, and pickup from your new address are all inside that number. There is no separate delivery fee anywhere in the metro.
Yes. Free pickup applies at your new address anywhere in our Portland and Vancouver service area, not just inside Lake Oswego. Moves to West Linn, Tigard, Portland, and the rest of the metro are the bread and butter of our schedule. Book once and both ends are covered.
Tell us about your move and we'll take it from there. Totes and a hand truck, delivered free, picked up free.
