When renovating or remodeling your home, you're probably going to be dealing with quite a lot of trash, and all of that trash has to go somewhere. Instead of making repeated trips to the junkyard or hiring someone else to do so, you should consider renting a dumpster. A dumpster rental will be dropped off directly at your home and then taken away when it has been filled. Here are some of the benefits of renting a dumpster.
Clean Up Your Home Faster
Renovating and remodeling produce a large amount of trash. Carpet, tile, drywall, nails, wood - all of which have to be removed so you can place the new items. You may even be left with heavy, cumbersome items that you don't want to move far, such as old sinks or cabinets.
Rather than waiting for trash day or waiting for a contractor to come, you can toss everything in your rented dumpster immediately. Then once you're done with your remodel, everything will be hauled away at once - and you can start enjoying your new and improved home.
Clean Up Your Home Faster
One of the first things contractors learn is to keep their work area clear of debris. When working in a construction setting, anything in your work area could be a potential tripping hazard or cause other serious issues. The last thing you want is to step on a plank of wood with a nail through it, or trip on a torn out cable.
One of the easiest ways to keep your work area clear of dangerous items is to keep a dumpster in range. Keeping a dumpster close by is especially important if you have children or pets, as they can easily get into something dangerous if they are left unattended.
Save Money on Labor and Trash Fees
Taking things to the landfill isn't free. Even if you do it yourself, you're going to be charged a fee by the dump. But if you don't do it yourself, you'll need to pay someone else to haul all your trash away. So either way, you're still going to end up paying some money.
But one of the benefits of renting a dumpster is that you only have to worry about one fee. Usually, you get everything in one package (the dumpster rental and the haul off), so you don't have to guess how much everything will cost.
Avoid Neighbor and HOA Issues
It's not always possible to pile your trash in your yard and wait until big trash day. Neighbors could be concerned if you have dangerous items in your yard, especially if any of your items are a danger to children. HOAs may have their own rules regarding whether you can keep big trash out, and these rules could supersede the city's regulations.
If you have a dumpster available, you can ensure that all of your trash is neatly put away rather than being visible or intruding on your yard or the sidewalk. Keeping your trash in the dumpster leaves you with less to worry about as you remodel.
Keep Your Car Clean and Undamaged
If you're going to try to haul things to the junkyard, you may need to place a lot of trash in your car. Remodeling trash often contains dust, dirt, nails, and more. These are things that could not only stain your upholstery but potentially rip and tear it. With a dumpster, you'll be covered.
