What if the budget for the house renovation is tight and you need to dig in nooks and crannies for an extra few dollars? Have the staff been complaining about all of the trash and leftovers and sharp boards with nails and ancient appliances strewn all over the yard? Renting a local dumpster, at the best possible price, is a wonderful option.
The best thing about it is -- they are usually available in four different sizes so there's no waste of space, or lack of it! If appliances can be parted out and the recyclable metals separated for use or sale, then the old box can be thrown into the dumpster and it'll get picked up when you're done.
On the other hand, if appliances are in decent shape then you can place those, plus any other reusable whole cabinets or other items in a small dumpster and donated them to a non-profit, such as Habitat For Humanity's resale store.
Online dumpster rental sites are the best resource known to man and woman, at least, if they're in the construction business.
Some material is valuable (like copper tubing), and dumpsters come with locks which will prevent theft.
You need to look at a website which will quote you the best price and delivery dates from a simple, and short, online form.
If you are a rookie at renovation -- a homeowner taking on most of your kitchen renovation for instance, these dumpster rental sites are a real plus and a time saver which will help you get organized.
Once you have ordered up your dumpster, they will deliver it and place it conveniently on your lot, where you simply fill it up then call when you're ready for pick up.
Dumpsters are also handy for temporary storage and they often have doors on the end, where you can place a ramp and wheel up your debris, or a top "hatchway" which is really convenient for throwing second floor stuff into, or old roofing materials.
Some rental dumpsters are divided into three sections so you can recycle easily.
Ordinary dumpsters come in ten, twenty, thirty, and forty yard sizes.
Even a ten yard one will help a homeowner get organized, and a large project could use several small ones to segregate everything being removed from the house or building.
Before you go online and to a dumpster rental site, try and do a rough calculation on how much is coming out of the building, so that you can get the right-sized dumpster.
If you rent one that's too small you will have to have it taken away, emptied, then brought back.
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 evaluate your trash and recycle load.
Some of these rental companies have portable toilets which can come in handy if your are either renovating the bathroom or bathrooms, or are located in an out of the way place!
