There are several ways to cut holes in plastic totes. The easiest way is to use a utility knife or box cutter. You can also use an electric drill with a hole saw attachment. To make the job easier, place the lid on top of the container so that you don’t have to worry about cutting through it as well.

If you’re using a utility knife, hold the knife at a 90-degree angle and slice through the plastic without pushing down too hard. It may take several passes before you completely cut through it. If you’re using a box cutter, place the blade into one of the holes and push down gently until it cuts through completely.
