What if your home renovation budget is tight and you need to dig into nooks and crannies for a few extra dollars? Has the staff complained about all the garbage and leftovers and sharp boards with nails and old appliances scattered all over the yard? Renting a local dumpster, at the best possible price, is a great option. The best thing about this is that they are usually available in four different sizes, so there is no wasted space or lack of it.
If the appliances can be separated and the recyclable metals are separated for use or sale, then the old box can be thrown in the dumpster and collected when finished. On the other hand, if the appliances are in good shape, you can put them, along with entire reusable cabinets or other items, in a small dumpster and donate them to a nonprofit organization, such as the Habitat For Humanity resale store. . Online container rental sites are the best resource known to men and women, at least if they are in the construction business.
Some materials are valuable (such as copper pipes) and dumpsters come with locks to prevent theft. You need to find a website that provides you with the best price and delivery dates from a simple and short online form. If you’re a renovation newbie, say, a homeowner who does most of your kitchen renovation, these dumpster rental sites are a real bonus and time saver to help you get organized. Once you’ve ordered your dumpster, it’ll be delivered and conveniently placed in your lot, where you’ll simply fill it up and then call when it’s ready for pickup.
Dumpsters are also handy for temporary storage and often have doors at the ends, where you can put a ramp and wheel the debris up, or a top “hatch” which is really convenient for dumping things from the second floor or old roofing materials. Some rental dumpsters are divided into three sections so you can easily recycle them. Ordinary dumpsters come in ten, twenty, thirty and forty yard sizes. Even a ten yard will help a homeowner get organized, and a large project could use several smaller ones to segregate everything that is removed from the home or building.
Before you go online and to a dumpster rental site, try to estimate how much is going out of the building, so you can get the right size dumpster. If you rent one that is too small, you will have to remove it, empty it and return it. This will cost something extra. Get one that’s too big and that’s a waste of space and money. Most dumpster rental companies will do their best to help you assess your garbage and recycling load.
Some of these rental companies have portable toilets that can be helpful if you are renovating your bathroom(s), or if they are located in an out of the way location.
