Common Home Projects to Rent a Dumpster for this Spring

Spring is knocking on the door and for many, that means it is time for spring cleaning. There is no better time than spring to tackle projects that you have been putting off around your home.  Whether it’s cleaning out your basement or attic, overhauling your landscaping, remodeling a room in your home, or building a new patio, the time is now. To successfully complete your home project, you will need the right tools, including a dumpster. While there are no rules around when to rent a dumpster, you may be wondering; “What are some common home projects to rent a dumpster for this spring?”.

Common Home Projects to Rent a Dumpster for

Basement/Attic Clean-out

Your basement and attic may be dreaded spaces in your home because of all the items you have stored in them over the years. You probably have lots of things, including old furniture, that you thought would come in handy one day, but you have yet to find that day. Instead of letting these things sit around in your basement and attic and take up space and collect dust, spring is the perfect time for a basement/attic clean-out. Renting a dumpster will allow you to get rid of all the things you don’t need any more in one shot.

Overhauling Your Landscaping

Home projects don’t just have to be indoors, your outdoor living space is just as important, especially in the spring and summer. Redoing your landscaping is a great project to take on in the spring. You can remove branches, bushes, weeds, lawn fixtures and more and conveniently dispose of the items in a rented home dumpster.

Room Remodel

Regardless what room or rooms you decide to remodel this spring, room remodels are great for giving your home a new look and feel and increasing the value. Renting a dumpster is extremely useful for discarding debris and old fixtures. Things like old countertops and cabinets are big and bulky and hard to get rid of. With a dumpster rental, you will easily be able to throw them in the dumpster and continue you on with your project.

New Patio

Spring is the time to start spending as much time as possible outdoors and having a patio that you can enjoy may be on your project list. You may be replacing an old patio or clearing landscaping for a new patio. Renting a dumpster for this project will keep you seamlessly moving forward, by providing you with an easy way to dispose of all of your unwanted materials, so you can focus on your new outdoor living space.

How to Prepare for Home Dumpster Rental

Make and Keep a Clear Path

Create a clear path to work along and haul items by. If there will be a lot of trips to and from the dumpster, it may be beneficial to remove built in objects around your home that may get in the way. This will allow quick and easy access to all areas of the project and the dumpster.

Create a Ramp

If using a large dumpster with an opening that is not flush with the ground, use a piece of plywood and some cinder blocks to create a makeshift ramp so a wheelbarrow can easily be rolled right into the big trash bin, saving energy and time.

Plan How to Fill the Dumpster

When renting a dumpster, be sure to think ahead about the best way to use the overall space. Try keeping everything toward the back to start, filling it first and then working toward the front of the dumpster. This will allow you to not block access to the rest of the bin, which may happen if you dump heavy debris haphazardly.
