Cleaning out clutter from your home often means having to dispose of lots of stuff. According to the New York Post, the average American is hoarding 23 junk items that they do not have a use for. Renting a dumpster can make decluttering projects much easier. Here's what to consider when getting a dumpster rental for home cleanup projects. Let's take a look for more information!

Determine the Right Size

Dumpster sizes range from small 10-yard containers to large 40-yard models in our experience. Think about how much debris you need to dispose of. A crowded garage or basement may need a 20 or 30-yard dumpster. However, a single-room cleanout could need just a 10-yard one. Get the right size to fit your waste without overpaying.

Pick a Convenient Drop-Off Spot

The company will drop the dumpster rental off wherever is most convenient for you to load it. Good spots are a driveway, side yard, or anywhere with a clear path out. Make sure you measure to ensure there's enough room and clearance. Also, be sure to discuss access ahead of time!

Know What's Allowed and Prohibited

Find out what you can and can't put into your dumpster rental. Most companies prohibit hazardous waste, appliances, tires, and construction debris. Sort these items out. Be prepared to load and haul them away separately if needed. Ask your provider for a complete list of guidelines for more information.

Schedule a Long Enough Rental

Make sure to give yourself enough rental time so you don't feel rushed. Decluttering inevitably takes longer than expected. A standard home cleanup may need a dumpster for different amounts of time depending on the project. Regardless, you want to be sure that you build in a buffer rather than scramble for an extension.

Renting a dumpster is an efficient, cost-effective way to handle large-scale decluttering and home cleanouts. Knowing what size you need, where to place it, what's allowed inside, and how long you'll need the dumpster prevents hassles during your project. With the right planning, a dumpster rental makes decluttering a breeze. Call us today at Haul Gone LLC to get an estimate for your dumpster rental needs.
