Bin There Dump That: One Man's Trash Blog

The warmer weather can leave you itching to get outside to work on your landscape.

But there’s a lot you can — and should — do inside your home, too. There’s a reason it’s called spring cleaning: it’s the perfect time to complete all of your projects and make your home look its best.

Here are four indoor home renovation projects you should tackle this spring.

Working on a residential site has its own set of demands and requirements.

As the general contractor, you need to keep the site clean, have the right skills for the job, understand the space limitation and be reachable for clients.

Not only do homeowners expect all of that, but you should also look for the same things when choosing a dumpster rental company for the project.

Here are four reasons general contractors should consider using roll-off dumpster for residential projects.

There are a lot of planning and logistics that go into a move, from packing to closing dates. But what about after you’re in your new house?

You’ll have to start sorting through boxes, fixing up things and cleaning out any unwanted items. And there’s one thing that can help with all of that: a dumpster rental.

Here are five reasons to rent a dumpster when you move, plus some green tips along the way.

The thing we’ve all been waiting for is finally here: Spring. As temperatures continue to rise, so will the urge to get outdoors.

Spring is the perfect time to work on a variety of landscape projects, like trimming bushes, pulling dead foliage and renovating your patio area. And with your hard work will come piles of scraps and debris. Those lawn bags can only hold so much and it’s all gotta go somewhere.

But can you put those in your dumpster rental?

Finding out something doesn’t fit — whether it’s clothes, a new appliance or furniture — can drive you crazy, especially when you already purchased it. No matter how many times you pull out the tape measure, some things just don’t work in certain spaces.

So, how can you tell if a residential roll-off dumpster rental will fit in your driveway? Luckily, it’s easy to figure out. And even better, it almost always does.

We know how good it feels to get rid of unwanted junk around the house. But some items are a little trickier to dispose of than you may think. And that’s the case when it comes to old tires.

Tires can help take you from one place to the next. But when they’ve seen their last days on the road, you’ll be left with several bulky wheels and questions about where to take them. Do you know what to do with old tires?

Before you think about chucking them, here are five things you should know about disposing of tires.

If you’re like me, it’s easy to get lost in all of those home renovation shows on HGTV and DIY Network. The kitchens are sleek and modern; the budgets are ridiculous; wall demolition looks unbelievably therapeutic; and the open floor plans are something on everyone’s must-have list.  

And while everyone doesn’t have the budget for an entirely new kitchen, it’s a safe bet there’s at least one wall standing in the way of you and that spacious, open floor plan you’ve always wanted. One interior wall that almost always gets the ax is the dividing wall between the kitchen and the dining room or family room. Another renovation trend is to remove the dividing wall between your bathroom and master bedroom.

By removing a wall, you’re creating an entirely new and flexible living space in your home, something most new home buyers are seeking these days

Now that we’re in the thick of tax season — and on the heels of spring, too — this time of year serves as a good reminder of the benefits of decluttering. In today’s post, I’m talking about one benefit in particular — donating household goods to a qualified organization for a tax deduction.

And while it’s too late to donate items now for a tax deduction on your 2014 tax return, there’s no reason you have to wait until December to do the legwork. Get a jump on your 2015 return by following five simple steps:

In my opinion, winter can be the best time of the year to really get things done — on the inside of your home. Thanks to snow on the ground and chilly temperatures in the air, winter does a nice job putting our outdoor distractions — yard work, washing the car, golf — on hold for a few months.

So why not spend that time stuck in your house working on your house? Feel productive this winter, instead of trapped. Here are my five favorite winter home improvement projects that will immediately enhance the look and feel of your home — without breaking the bank or your back.

“Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”

It’s okay to not like Murphy’s Law. Honestly, I don’t know anyone who does. That’s because it makes us think about the worst case scenario. And no one ever really wants to think about worst case scenarios — especially when home renovations are involved. It just sounds costly and dangerous.

For some peace of mind, Bin There Dump That likes to inform our customers that we’re a licensed, bonded and insured dumpster rental company. And anytime you invite a skilled laborer onto your property — roofers, plumbers, electricians, etc. — it’s wise to hire only those that are licensed, bonded and insured, as well.
