The most useful dumpster dimensions in Sarasota

Sarasota is certainly one of the most picturesque areas in Florida—and in the Sunshine State, that’s saying something. Residents of the area typically enjoy lush countryside, stunning beaches, and breathtaking sunsets. All that natural splendor deserves to be complemented with well-kept properties, so homeowners in the Sarasota region tend to be diligent cleaners. If you live in Sarasota, it’s probably safe to say you’re always on the lookout for tools and strategies you can use to keep your property well-maintained and organized. Those of you who don’t already know about residential dumpster rentals will be thrilled to learn that renting a container can solve many of your waste management issues. However, you probably have some questions about the process, involving dumpster dimensions and other logistical considerations.

Dumpster DimensionsNot to worry; help is on the way! In the following paragraphs, we’ll answer some of the most often-asked questions about renting a dumpster in the Sarasota region, covering everything from dumpster dimensions to placement and payment.

Why do Dumpster Dimensions Matter?

The dimensions of your rental container may seem like an afterthought, but should be some of the most important considerations during your search for a suitable rental. Remember, your dumpster isn’t an ethereal concept. It’s a physical object that you will have to accommodate on your property until your rental period has ended. As such, the shape and size of your container can affect many of your activities. Do not take your dumpster dimensions for granted if you want to rent a container that will provide you with good value for your money.

The following are just a few of the tasks that can be affected by your dumpster dimensions:

  1. Filling the container. If you choose a relatively small container, you should have no problem placing your materials inside. Small containers are easy to reach inside when you need to add items or rearrange them. Conversely, large containers can be taller than the people who are trying to place their materials inside, resulting in the need for lifts or other equipment. The height of large containers can complicate the process, and even pose a safety hazard for older people or those with limited movement abilities.

  2. Maneuvering around the container. Reaching your container isn’t the only thing you’ll have to think about when you choose to rent a dumpster in the Sarasota area. It’s also critical that your dumpster doesn’t block you from reaching key areas on your property, such as your garden, your terrace, or even your front door! Choosing a dumpster with smaller dimensions is an ideal way to avoid these problems since relatively compact debris boxes can normally be maneuvered around without too much effort.

  3. Parking your car in the garage. In addition to foot traffic, you’ll have to make sure that your dumpster doesn’t prevent you from being able to store your vehicle properly. Many people in Sarasota who rent large dumpsters find themselves inconvenienced when the containers block their driveways completely. If you plan on placing your rental container on your driveway during the rental (more on this in a moment), you’ll want to make sure you rent a container with dimensions that allow it to fit easily in the space without totally dominating it.

So, What Dimensions Should Your Dumpster Have?

Now that you understand why dumpster dimensions matter, you probably want to know what the most useful dimensions are for Sarasota residents. While large containers (in this case meaning 20 cubic yards in volume or above) can be used for extensive projects likely to produce vast amounts of waste, you can undertake most DIY projects with far smaller containers. We recommend that our clients rent a debris box with 12 cubic meters of volume—about three times what your average pickup truck could hold. A box of this size will allow you considerable space for items and materials without inconveniencing you by occupying a large area and preventing you from accomplishing routine tasks.

Quick Tips for Placing Your Dumpster

Some of you may be planning to rent a large container and simply place it on the street outside your home. While this option may offer you a way to keep your driveway clear while providing additional space, consider the following two points: firstly, do you really need as much room as you think? Take a moment to scan the items you plan on disposing of and ask yourself if you have enough to merit to use more than three pickup trucks worth of room. You probably don’t. Secondly, are you legally able to keep a rental dumpster on the street outside your home? The answer is no—unless you have the appropriate permit from the county’s Building Permitting and Inspections office. A permit is required whenever you plan to obstruct a public right of way, such as a road, sidewalk, pathway, park or lot. To learn more about how much it will cost to acquire a permit and how long the application process will take, visit the county’s Planning and Development Services website.

Generally, residents find it easier to rent a smaller dumpster and keep it on their properties than to rent a large one and acquire the permits required to keep it on public land. Driveways make the best spaces to keep dumpsters on most residential properties since the size and weight of the containers can damage landscapes and lawns. The most successful renters we’ve encountered have hired debris boxes of about 12 cubic yards in volume and kept them on their driveways for their entire rental period. Doing so makes dropping off and picking up the container easier for the rental company, and helps you avoid the extra fees that some companies charge if they cannot reach the filled container to collect it on the pickup date.

Further Considerations for Sarasota Dumpster Renters

Once you’ve figured out the size of your rental container and decided on a location for it (preferably one on your property), you can begin the process of choosing your rental company. When you do, make sure you think about the following points:

  • Will your rental company take the time to sort the materials in your container after they’ve collected it? Do they use eco-friendly practices, so you can know your waste materials are being treated responsibly?

  • Will your rental company charge you fairly for their equipment and service? Some companies charge based on weight, but this can cause unfair disadvantages to renters who are ridding themselves of heavier items. For best results, consider a company that charges based on space used, so that you can give yourself a discount by packing the container efficiently.

  • Does your rental company have a reputation for being friendly, polite, and prompt? You’ll want to make sure you’re renting from people who can deliver their solutions to your doorstep (or rather, your driveway) on time.

Consider More Than Your Dumpster Dimensions, and Enjoy a Successful Rental!

There are many factors to consider when you decide to rent a dumpster in Sarasota. Dimensions are one thing, but placement, service and environmental responsibility all matter too. For more information on your options, contact us and let a member of our team answer your questions.

 

Sarasota Treadmill and Exercise Machine Disposal

Are you ready to get serious about your workouts in 2013? You’ve probably already answered a resounding “Yes” to that question which is why you invested in a home treadmill or other type of exercise equipment. But look what happened? You got enthusiastic for the first couple of days and then there were distractions or simple boredom. Unless you live alone it’s hard to imagine being able to squeeze in a workout in your home when you’ve got so many other responsibilities. That’s probably the primary reason for joining a gym: You can dedicate the time for a proper workout.

In terms of the boredom issue, joining a gym will probably help with that as well. That’s because the typical gym has a lot of variety. At least that’s what you should be looking for when searching out gyms. You want a place that has all kinds of cardio machines, free weights and weight machines. But you also want to keep an eye out for a gym that offers an array of classes. Whether you take them up on that offer is another thing but at least those classes will be there when you’re ready.

Another motivating factor is the sense of community you’ll get by joining a gym. If you pick out the same workout time each week you’ll probably be running into the same folks on the same schedule. Nothing wrong with striking up a conversation and asking for some pointers. Who knows? You might even discover you new best friend at the gym!

Best of all you’ll be getting into shape. Your doctor has probably already told you to start working out to lose weight and improve your cholesterol and blood pressure. The idea is to get your heart pumping. With a steady workout you’ll be feeling better and looking better in no time!

Just to make sure you’re not given any reminders of exercise failure you should make arrangements with Junk King Sarasota to get rid of the treadmill in your garage or anything else that you’re not using. Since it took more than one person to bring that treadmill into your home it’s going to take more than one person to get rid of it. With Junk King you’ll be getting a very capable two-man crew and a big enough truck to fit that treadmill on. But you don’t have to get rid of unused exercise equipment alone.

You can take advantage of hiring Junk King Sarasota to remove all kinds of oversized items in the same appointment. This will be a terrific opportunity to take back the storage space in your home and remove all the “eyesores.” You’ll definitely want to make room for a new mirror because working out will have you looking at yourself a lot more!
