Dumpsters can provide a lot of convenience, and they can also help keep local environments clean. For the everyday homeowner, there are certain situations where you should definitely plan for a dumpster rental. Keeping these situations in mind will help you considerably when planning your next home renovation, apartment move-out, or storm cleaning.
 

1. Moving

Moving out of a home, apartment, or condo can be one of the most stressful days. You'll find that when you're moving, you have a lot more stuff than you initially expected! More often than not, you'll be tossing broken furniture that just never found its way out, clothing that you no longer want to wear, and doubly cleaning the entire space. Plan ahead and get a dumpster for all of this waste. That way, you're not scrambling on the day of.

2. Construction

Whether it's new construction or a remodel, having a dumpster beforehand will be so worth the time, money, and stress. Whether there are contractors or you're doing the job yourself, there will be a ton of materials to toss. Properly disposing of all construction materials will make sure you don't waste any money cleaning up afterward.

3. Home Cleaning

Even if you're not moving out, it's often recommended to clean out your home of items regularly. A dumpster will allow you to toss larger pieces of furniture. It's so much easier than strapping your old, dusty mattress to your car! Timing this annual cleanup for the spring is ideal. With milder weather, you won't be trudging through snow or sweating profusely while taking things to the dumpster.

4. Storm Cleanup

After a strong storm, you can expect all sorts of debris to be scattered. Not only is it unappealing to leave it out, but in some cases, that debris can be dangerous if not disposed of, such as broken glass and scrap metal. If a powerful storm is on its way, plan to have a dumpster on-site once it has passed.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States alone produces roughly 292 million tons of municipal solid waste per year.
