With spring underway, now is the perfect time to think about getting rid of excess clutter in and around the home. However, if there’s a lot of debris and trash to discard, finding ways to make your project go smoothly can be helpful. Read on to learn more about the advantages of renting a roll-off dumpster and helpful tips for ensuring your spring cleaning is a success.
Benefits of Renting a Roll-Off Dumpster for Spring Cleaning
When it comes to getting rid of a considerable amount of unwanted materials at once, renting a roll-off dumpster is a fast and simple solution. After all, having someone transport your waste and other materials to the closest garbage dump or scrap yard with a roll-off dumpster rental can be easy. Here are some of the main benefits of renting a roll-off dumpster this spring.
Convenience
A roll-off dumpster provides immediate access to a large dumpster for both short and long-term cleaning projects. Since there’s no need to worry about transporting the materials, it’s easier to get a cleaning job done in a fraction of the time. Once the dumpster is full, the rental company will retrieve the unit for easy disposal that you don’t have to worry about.
Availability
Summer is the most popular time for dumpster rental services. During this time, we recommend calling to schedule a dumpster drop-off well in advance for your residential or commercial project. By renting a roll-off dumpster in the spring, more units will be available for your spring cleaning projects.
Climate
Winters in Wyoming can be harsh, making it more difficult to get your cleaning done during the colder months. Meanwhile, summer temperatures can reach the 80s or 90s by mid-July, making cleaning a little exhausting. The job will likely go faster by renting a roll-off dumpster in the spring for your renovations and remodels.
Tips for Using a Roll-Off Dumpster
While renting a roll-off dumpster is pretty straightforward, there are a few things to keep in mind about the process beforehand. Weight limits, restricted items, and drop-off location are all important considerations. Here are a few tips to remember before renting a unit
Prepare a Place for your Dumpster Ahead of Time
First, take some time to ensure there’s plenty of space set aside for the dumpster. Ideally, the location should be as close to the cleaning project as possible. In addition, roll-off dumpsters should be placed on flat, even surfaces whenever possible, such as concrete.
Watch Out for Discarding Unaccepted Items
Remember, some items are prohibited to throw away in a roll-off dumpster. These items include potentially hazardous substances, certain chemicals, and any flammable liquids. Specific items that are not accepted include:
- Biological waste
- Batteries
- Radioactive materials
- Fluorescent lights and ballasts
- Tires
- Propane Tanks
Be Aware of the Weight Limit
Roll-off dumpsters also come with a weight limit, and exceeding this weight capacity will likely come with additional fees. Whenever possible, try to ensure heavier materials are near the top of the dumpster to keep lighter materials from blowing away in the wind. It’s also important to ensure that the dumpster isn’t overflowing with debris. We recommend First Light Services and our covered dumpsters if you have lightweight waste.
