Without a real spec, I can see totes rarely being removed unless they are *very* severely damaged (i.e., lip bent outwards completely at ~75+deg, hole punched in side, massive dent)... really it'll just boil down to how sympathetic your ref/field supervisor is and what they have for spares.
As a sidenote, can I just say how fantastic it is that this is a game piece which teams will actually have a real use for at the end of the year! That said, 2014 balls and 2013 discs were actually fairly useful at the end of the year... a vast improvement over 2009 'moon rocks' anyway.
