Whether you are doing a major home cleanup or are tossing out a huge number of items from your home, you probably need a dumpster rental. A dumpster allows you to remove all the junk and garbage fast and with efficiency, without needing to make multiple trips to the local dump or dispose of things a few items at a time in your usual weekly city garbage pick up.
Rent a Dumpster
When you call the dumpster company (like Purple Dumpster) to set up a weekly rental, it important to ask what the rental terms are – how it is rented?
Rental Term: Is it rented by the day or the week? This will let you know how much time you have to use the dumpster. And you will understand what you need to do to prepare to fill the dumpster. If you are ready to receive the dumpster, you will save money by using it only as long as along need it.
Loading the Dumpster
When you load the dumpster, it is important to break down items as much as you can. If you have a hack saw cut up metal pieces and detach arms and legs of furniture. Or saw bulky items into pieces. Put bulkier and softer junk towards the bottom of the bin, and then place trash around these items to fill in any extra space. When you discard foam, cardboard, or smaller flatter garbage, you always start by placing these on the bottom of the dumpster in a flat layer. They will be compressed by the weight of the items on top of them, as well. This will make more space as these items get flattened.
Fill Gaps in the Garbage Bin
Look for empty areas in the bin as you fill it and put in smaller furniture or other mid-sized items that you are discarding with other garbage or discarded items. Plug the holes as you go and slide pieces into lots and gaps.
Following these tips and tricks will allow you to fill the bin to its maximum without requiring a second week or load. This saves time, money and effort.
