How To Select The Right Dumpster For Your Renovation Project

Renting a dumpster for a home renovation project is an important part of the renovation process. If you have a large project underway, there's likely to be a lot of waste to dispose of. You will need to carefully consider all the things you'll need to put in the dumpster. It can be hard to make a great choice when it comes to getting a dumpster. These tips can help.

Know Your Waste

Understanding exactly how much waste you need to dispose of is critical. You should consult with your contractor to establish just how much waste you will have from your project. However, if possible, wait until demolition has taken place. You can then gather all your waste in one spot. You will then have a more accurate idea of the size of the dumpster you will need. Your dumpster will also have a weight limit so bear this in mind. This is why you need to know how much weight you are dealing with.

Placement of Dumpsters

You need to decide where you want to place the dumpster. Depending on the size of the dumpster you will probably need to consider if there are any obstructions in the way of your dumpster. Overhanging wires can present a problem especially if the dumpster is very large. To avoid causing any damage always rent a dumpster that is small enough not to interfere with these wires.

Overhanging wires are not the only thing to consider with placement. If you choose to put your dumpster in your yard you will not have many problems. However, if you choose to place your dumpster in the street you are going to need a permit to do so. You need to contact the relevant authorities to seek permission.

Loading the Dumpster

You should consider how you plan to load the dumpster. This is an important part of the whole process. You will not be allowed to throw items that are considered toxic in the dumpster.

When you are loading your dumpster try not to load it too high. You should break all materials up into the smallest pieces possible before loading them into your dumpster. 

If you have boxes, try to flatten them. This will cause them to take up less space. Additionally, if you have bulky items, load these at the bottom of the dumpster and then load the lighter items on the top.

Select Your Dumpster

All you need to select the right dumpster is to make sure that you carefully consider all the points listed here. Once you do that your selection process will be easy.
