Renting a dumpster can be a game-changer for decluttering, renovating, or handling a big cleanup project. But are you making the most of the space inside that dumpster? A little planning and strategy can save you money, time, and stress. At Quick Help Junk Removal, we’ve helped countless Buffalo and Tonawanda residents get the most out of their dumpster rentals, and now we’re here to share our top tips with you.
Choose the Right Dumpster Size
Maximizing space starts with choosing the dumpster size that suits your needs. Renting a dumpster that’s too small leads to overflow, while an oversized one means wasted space—and money. Here’s a quick breakdown of our dumpster sizes to help you decide:
- 17 cubic yards: Perfect for small home cleanouts or yard debris.
- 20 cubic yards: Great for medium-sized renovation projects or garage cleanouts.
- 26 cubic yards: Ideal for larger cleanouts or moderate construction debris.
- 30 cubic yards: The go-to choice for major projects like full-home renovations.
Still unsure? Give us a call at (716) 292-9574, and we’ll help you pick the right size for your project.
Plan Your Loading Strategy
Sort Items Before Loading
Before you start tossing items into the dumpster, sort them into categories like recyclables, trash, and bulky items. Not only does this make loading easier, but it also helps ensure eco-friendly disposal.
Disassemble Bulky Items
Big items like furniture, appliances, or cardboard boxes take up a lot of space. Break them down into smaller pieces to fit more into your dumpster. For example:
- Remove legs from tables and chairs.
- Flatten boxes and dismantle shelves.
- Use basic tools like screwdrivers or hammers for quick disassembly.
Start with the Heaviest Items
Load heavy and bulky items, such as furniture or large appliances, at the bottom. This creates a stable base and makes stacking smaller items easier.
Fill Gaps and Stack Strategically
Use smaller items to fill gaps between larger pieces. Stack evenly to make the most of vertical space. Think of it like a game of Tetris—every inch counts!
Avoid Prohibited Items
Not everything can go into a dumpster. To stay safe and legal, avoid placing the following items inside:
- Hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, batteries).
- Certain electronics (TVs, laptops).
- Tires or large quantities of yard waste (check local regulations).
Improper disposal of these items can lead to fines or environmental harm. Need help figuring out what to do with these items? Call us at Quick Help Junk Removal, and we’ll guide you.
