Beginning a large home upgrade project requires planning. First, you’ll need to set a budget to know how much money you can spend on improving the house. You’ll also need to rent a dumpster to toss all the trash into, especially if this is a large-scale project. Read through these tips on how to prepare for your dumpster rental delivery and pick-up.

Make Space for It

When you rent your dumpster, you may think, “there’s plenty of room on my driveway,” but when it arrives, the sheer size may surprise you. Prepare by checking the measurements of the dumpster you rent and comparing it with the size of your driveway. Also, make sure you move any vehicles off the driveway to ensure a clear path for the company delivering the dumpster to place it in the designated spot.

Have a Goal

You’ll only have the dumpster for a set amount of time, usually about a week. Keep yourself on a schedule, so you don’t have to pay extra to extend your rental. Ask yourself what you want to get done and how long it should take. For example, if you plan to renovate your kitchen, create a timeline for demolition and the removal of all the old appliances.

Pro Tip

Organize tasks according to priority. You should complete those time-extensive tasks first, so you don’t feel rushed later in the project.

Note Dumpster Capacity

Another thing to note when preparing for your dumpster rental delivery and pick-up is the size of the dumpster you decide to rent. This is because dumpster size impacts how much trash you can throw away. Every roll-off dumpster has a weight limit; exceeding this or overfilling the dumpster is dangerous or could result in fines. Rather than risk paying more than expected, rent the appropriately-sized dumpster from the start.

Pro Tip

As you toss items in the dumpster, remember that you cannot dispose of hazardous material. These dumpsters are for:

• Furniture
• Appliances
• Roofing and siding
• Cabinetry
• Yard debris

You can also dispose of common building materials, including brick, concrete, asphalt, lumber, and drywall. If unsure, contact the rental company for a list of items you can and cannot toss in the dumpster.

Note the Pickup Time

Once you rent the dumpster, jot down when the company will drop it off and pick it up. It’s easy to get wrapped up in a project and forget about these deadlines so write them down as a reminder.
