When it's time to sell a house, complete a home remodeling project, work on landscaping, or clean out your garage, you'll probably be left with piles of garbage and large, unwieldy trash. It's tempting to simply drag it all to the curb, but alternative removal options may be more cost-efficient and thorough, depending on the project. Here, we'll compare four of the most common ways to dispose of bulk garbage.

July 1st, for some this means a cottage weekend, a big barbeque with copious amounts of food and finishing the night off with fireworks. Whether you’re on the water, heading to the big city or staying home we want you to have a great Canada Day. We’ve collected a list of ways you can celebrate this nation's birthday in the amazing July weather.

You’ve rolled up your sleeves. Your somewhat unreliable brother-in-law just pulled up — on time — ready to help. In just a few short hours, that cluttered basement of yours will be empty and unbelievably spacious.

But you know what would really help? Getting your dumpster as close as possible to the door you’ll be going in and out of the most this morning. Luckily, roll-off dumpsters like those from Bin There Dump That can — and have — fit just about anywhere.

While driveways are an obvious choice for where most residential roll-off dumpsters are placed, there are, however, some places your dumpster rental should just not go. Here’s a closer look at five spots around your home that you might want to think twice about before placing the dumpster.

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.

They say size matters. And we agree — at least when it comes to the size of the Bin There Dump That bin rental needed to help you complete your next project.

Bin sizes are measured in cubic yards. In case you can’t remember your high school geometry that means measuring the length, width and height of the container and multiplying the three numbers together. For example, a bin that is 2 yards long, 2 yards wide and 1 yard tall is 4 cubic yards.

Whether you’re doing a small clean up or a major renovation, there is a bin for your job. In Canada, bins come in 4-, 9-, 12-, 14-, and 20-yard sizes. In the United States, sizes include 4-, 10, 15, and 20 yards.

Remember, our bins don’t sit directly on and won’t damage your driveway. They’re clean and fit the confines of most homeowner association regulations. The only challenge is deciding what size dumpster to get. Here is some help.

Tossing a bag of trash in a dumpster is no big deal but what happens if you have large, bulky items such as heavy furniture, appliances or even old cars to dispose of? Those certainly won't fit inside the regular trash can and the local trash pick up services don't always offer bulk pickup services. You can always load up your truck if you have one and haul your bulk refuse to the local dump, but if you don't have a truck or the time to haul things on your own, especially during a home renovation or when clearing out during a move, you will need to find another way to have the items removed from your home where they can properly dispose the waste.

We have all been there: climbing out of bed in the morning with a stiff neck, a sore back, and the distinct feeling that the previous night did nothing in the way of rest.

Many of us have been experiencing poor sleep for so long that it simply feels like second nature, being tired is a way of life for far too many people.

There are plenty of factors that affect sleep quality. Everything from leaving a light on to facing added stress at work can prevent sleep from having actual restorative effects, even if you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.

While there is no disputing that many things contribute to sleep quality, perhaps the biggest factor is sleep environment. This means sleeping somewhere that is a comfortable temperature with quality bedding and, of course, a good mattress.

If you often find yourself waking up and feeling like you have not slept at all, it may be time to invest in a new mattress. So once you have decided to update your mattress, what should you do with the old one?

It seems there is no end to human ingenuity and entrepreneurialism. We’re not sure who the first person was to decide to have a garage or yard sale, but we suspect it wasn’t long after that the phrase “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” came into being.

If you have the time and energy, garage and yard sales are a great way to make a little money while ridding your home of stuff you no longer want. But then again, there’s some stuff that nobody wants. Sometimes one man’s trash is actually just trash.

And there’s where junk removal and dumpster rental comes in.
