While regular local trash removal is a modern convenience that can handle most waste removal needs, there is a limit to how much waste can be effectively moved at once. There exist a few different instances when a large amount of waste and garbage can be created, in excess of what your weekly pickup can handle. At these times, you should consider renting a dumpster, which provides a way for you to collect all of your waste in a single place and then have it removed from your property when full.

Remodeling and Construction

The most common reason to rent a dumpster for garbage removal is if you are having work done on your home. Remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, or other areas of your home can create a significant amount of waste as old materials are ripped out and new ones installed, and the same goes for when you are adding on an entirely new section or addition to your home. Renting a dumpster is a great way to ensure that you do not have construction waste and materials strewn throughout the work area and the rest of your home, which can also help expedite the construction process as less time will have to be spent cleaning up.

Moving Day

Another great time to consider hiring a dumpster is when you are moving into a new home. The packing and moving process is the best time to go through all of your possessions to figure out what you still need and what is simply taking up space. A dumpster can handle the removal of all types of unwanted belongings, from clothes and books to larger pieces of furniture. Not only does this allow you to streamline your life by reducing unneeded clutter, but it can also help save money on the move itself, as fewer items and less weight will need to be transported to your new home.

Storm and Disaster Repair

If your home has experienced any sort of damage due to a weather event, such as basement flooding, tornado or hurricane damage, or falling tree branches on your property because of a particularly heavy storm, you may want to consider renting a dumpster. Waterlogged and damaged items, including building materials on the outside of your home like shingles and siding, that cannot be salvaged can be easily thrown out into a dumpster, as well as any organic debris like branches, ensuring that you are able to get your home and property back to normal again as soon as possible.
