When it comes to spring cleaning, there are a few things you need to do. One of the biggest is planning a way to get the trash off of your property without taking 20 trips to the dumpster. The best way to do this is with rolloff dumpsters, but it’s important to know what size you need before you have it delivered. The following questions will help you make the best decision.
How Big Is Your Home?
Most average-sized homes will do fine with a 10-yard dumpster, as these can typically hold up about 60 33-gallon trash bags. Some homes, though, will need more.
For example, if you’re cleaning out a two-floor home that has six bedrooms full of items, a 10-yard dumpster might not be enough. Additionally, if you have recently bought or inherited a home “as-is” that is full of the prior owner’s items, you’re likely going to be throwing out more items. In cases such as these or if you’re throwing out old appliances, you might need a 20-yard or 30-yard dumpster.
Are You Donating Items?
The amount of space you’ll need on your dumpster will also depend on whether you’re trashing everything or donating, too. If you’re planning to donate, you might still be good with a 10-yard rolloff dumpster.
How Many Spaces Are You Planning to Clean Out?
You also have to consider how many spaces you will be cleaning out. If, for instance, you’re cleaning out your house, a garage, and your yard, you should likely consider a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster to ensure you have enough space.
