Bin There Dump That: One Man's Trash Blog

With the weather getting better, it's getting much harder to stay inside and quarantine. Well, social distancing and a long weekend works together if you know what to do. In order to continue social distancing, we've compiled a list of things that you're able to tackle during the coming long weekend due to Victoria Day.

Because they're often primarily used for storage, garages, attics, sheds, and basements tend to accumulate lots of junk over time. Periodically cleaning out these rooms is a good way to declutter, create more space, and repurpose them for practical use. Basements can be especially useful as recreation rooms, home offices, or even spare bedrooms. Here are five tips to make a basement renovation simple and efficient.

Lately, we've all been spending a lot more time at home, but this is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of that time and tackle home projects. Keep reading for an update on how our operations are running and get ideas for projects you can do during the quarantine.

There are many different jobs and reasons to rent a dumpster or waste disposal bin at your home. Maybe you’re in the midst of a home renovation project, like a bathroom or kitchen. You might be cleaning out your garage, storage area or basement. You could be replacing or fixing your roof.

Homeowners often get a bin rental when they are decluttering before moving out of a home or even renting one when moving into a new home (my sister was left with this predicament)

Maybe you just love how that big metal box in your driveway accents those pine trees on either side of the front door! (Just kidding.)

Whatever the reason, the dumpster should be there in your driveway for as long as you need it – but not longer than you want it! Let’s face it: Once the job is complete, don’t you really just want that thing gone?

Let’s cut the pretense and just call the basement by its real name: dumping ground.

Every piece of junk and clutter we think we might need someday but we’re not quite sure what to do with ends up in the basement.

Cast-off kitchen appliances you keep in case of emergency. Those curtains that might be perfect for some window, someday. Old comic books. The dog sweater from Aunt Edna.

Clean. It. Out.

We know. We can sense your shudder from here. But it has to be done. Next up: The fun part. Once you have that nice open space, the possibilities are endless.

To learn how to increase home value on a budget check out these top five home improvement projects that not only bring a return on your investment and appeal to potential buyers but will also add joy to your life.

Many inexperienced home sellers like to make last-minute renovations to spruce up their houses for a fast sale. Unfortunately, many are unable to succeed with their redecoration goals. They fall short due to inexperience and commit many redecoration blunders. Here are some errors that you must avoid when you are thinking of renovating your home. 

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect people around the world, we all have questions about how to stay safe. Social distancing is the most common measure people are taking, but many are understandably concerned about preventing the spread of COVID-19 through their homes. No matter how much we quarantine, everyone still has to go outside or interact with other people at some point to get supplies. Here are 10 tips that you and your loved ones can follow to help keep your home sanitized.

When it comes to the waste disposal task of your home project you have several options to get rid of the trash and construction debris. However, which is the best for your needs? 

Caveat emptor (buyer beware). Read the fine print. Hidden fees.

Even the most savvy shoppers sometimes get caught by unexpected charges on their bill.

There’s nothing wrong with a company making a profit — that’s what they’re in business for. We don’t think anyone would (or could) dispute that. The question becomes how businesses go about turning that profit.

Have you ever listened to a commercial on the radio and then at the end a guy comes on and reads a disclaimer, which in the last three seconds has more words in it than the rest of the commercial did in the first 27 seconds? What is it they’re trying to hide? It’s the same concept that turns a $129 hotel room into one that really costs $159 a night.

Many companies hide charges from their customers springing fees on them after the fact. Companies might push them off as the “cost of doing business,” which while technically true, creates ill will with customers.

When it comes to bin rental costs, there are so many variables to consider. Among those costs in dumpster rental prices include:

• Length of the rental
• Cost to dispose waste at a local dumping facility
• Where you live
• What trash you decide to throw into the bin

Bin There Dump That has no hidden fees. Though our franchise operators do charge some of the dumpster rental fees described below, they are communicated ahead of time.

Here are six dumpster rental costs customers might not expect — but will definitely know about before they begin their dumpster rental.
