Home renovations are often exciting. You get to remake a section of your home to realize your vision. You have the power and design to bring a new look to an otherwise plain or tired space.
For weeks, you have been budgeting, planning, researching, and purchasing everything you need to get started. However, have you considered what you need to do to remove all the waste that happens as a result of such a large project?
Let’s face it; garbage bags alone just won’t cut it. Fortunately, a dumpster rental has many benefits and can help the renovations go much smoother.
It is easy to get so engrossed in what you are working on that time slips away. Suddenly, you find yourself cornered by debris and garbage, and you’re not sure how to get out.
A dumpster on-site is the perfect way to dispose of your garbage as you work. With scheduled pick-ups and swaps of dumpsters for the larger, longer projects, all of this can be prearranged, and it’s one less thing to think about.
If the project is short and should only take a few days or weeks, then knowing when the dumpster will be picked up helps to keep you on track and reduces procrastination.
When it comes to home renovations, you’re likely more focused on getting the project done rather than on any health and safety issues.
In addition to common injury risks, such as mixing water and electricity, debris and rubble accumulation pose a serious tripping hazard that is often overlooked.
You should keep the floor and workspace free from things that can trip you up, such as material packaging, rubble, tools, etc. Such items all need to be removed and placed elsewhere as you work.
Place all your tools on a work surface. Also, large pails that you can find at your local hardware store are great for gathering all the debris, thus making it easier to transport it to the dumpster outside. Remember, a clear space is a safer space.
Another advantage of a dumpster rental for your project is staying within the budget. A dumpster bin is a one-stop solution to garbage disposal that eliminates the need for frequent trips to the landfill.
This also reduces wear and tear on your vehicle, and having to fill up with gas often. While it may only cost between $16 and $35 each trip, this soon adds up. Then, there is the time spent making these trips, which is time away from the renovation, thus slowing down your progress.
A dumpster rental may seem more expensive in the beginning, but within just a few days of the project starting, it will have paid for itself.
Home renovations usually involve a wide range of waste products suitable for the dumpster or landfill. With a dumpster rental, you can save time as you won’t have to sort through the debris and worry about where it goes for disposal. This is all done for you by the dumpster rental company when the bin is collected.
Items for recycling are sorted and then taken to recycling facilities. Reusable items may go to a reuse centre, and the rest are taken to the landfill. With so many environmentally conscious action plans in place, extra care will be taken once the bin is removed.
Dumpster bin rentals come in a variety of sizes, all of which are designed to contain a certain amount of waste.
A 10-ft. long, 7-ft. wide, and 4-ft. high bin— also referred to as a 10-yard bin—is typically used for small home renovation projects. It can hold all the debris created and is compact enough to fit into a driveway. If your home renovation is looking larger than your average project, then you can have the bin removed once full and replaced with another one to allow you to finish.
Or, you can go for the next size up: the 14-yard bin. As this bin is much larger, it will take up more space on your property, so you may want to let the neighbours know, and also contact your local government about leaving it on the road.
Whatever you need, talking to your bin rental company about your plans, space availability, and estimated length of the project will allow them to accurately determine the bin size you need.
This will not only save you time and trips to the dumpster bin, but will also save you money. Renting a bin that is too small or too large will have financial repercussions, so working with the experts is a must.
