The Ease of a Dumpster Rental for your Post-Holiday Clean-Up Operation

holiday waste pickup

Every year, as the holidays draw to the close and we head back to our normal lives during the first weeks of January, many homeowners, business owners, and individuals struggle to get their homes and businesses back into some semblance of order. According to a study done by Stanford University,

 

“Americans throw away 25 percent more trash during the Thanksgiving to New Year’s holiday period than any other time of year. The extra waste amounts to 25 million tons of garbage, or about 1 million extra tons per week!”

 

Cleaning up holiday decorations, taking down the Christmas tree, dealing with an enormous amount of boxes, wrapping paper, and other remnants of festive family get-togethers is an enormous task for anyone. The fact that many public waste management companies significantly reduce their hours of operation during the holiday season can make it even more frustrating for people who want to efficiently and effectively clean up after the holidays. In Worcester, MA, the public home recycling and trash disposal services will suspend operations on the 24th and 25th of December, and on January 1st. For some businesses and homeowners, that might significantly delay your regular trash pickup, leaving you with the unfortunate responsibility of storing those dozens of bags of trash for over a week.

 

If you are looking for a more efficient and resourceful way to clean up after the holidays, renting a dumpster from Junk King of Worcester County may very well be an option worth considering. Below, we explain why a dumpster rental from Junk King can help you deal with your excess holiday trash in a well-organized and environmentally friendly manner.

A Dumpster Rental as the Most Resourceful Way to Deal with Holiday Waste

dumpster rental services Worcester

There is nothing worse than finding torn wrapping paper, Amazon Prime boxes from Christmas gifts, broken strands of Christmas lights, and other bits and pieces of holiday waste still sitting around your home as the month of January comes to a close. If efficiently dealing with holiday waste has become an annual headache for you, renting a dumpster makes holiday clean up incredibly easy.

 

A dumpster rental can give you an efficient and hygienic way to get rid of your excess waste from the holiday season. Junk King of Worcester County offers the best priced dumper rental service in the state of Massachusetts. Not only do we have different sized dumpsters for you to choose from, but we also allow you to decide how long you need it for, and when you want us to come and pick it up. Our customer service professionals can help you determine which sized dumpster is best for your needs. We can also help you decide the best place to place the dumpster so as to be in compliance with local codes and regulations.

 

With a rental dumpster located conveniently on your property, you will have a dedicated space where everyone in the household can take their trash throughout the holiday season. Instead of emptying garbage bins 2-3 times per day and storing those bags in a corner of your garage, a dumpster rental offers convenience while also freeing up space in your home.

 

Simply give us a call whenever you are finished cleaning up after your holiday festivities, and our junk removal teams will promptly come and remove all of your holiday waste in one fell swoop.

Junk King Dumpster Rentals: An Environmentally Friendly Way to Deal with Holiday Waste

 

One recent survey of 2,000 Americans found that the average American creates 43 percent more waste during the holiday season. In terms of added “trash,” this amounts to 29 pounds of extra trash each week. Wrapping paper, gift bags, cardboard boxes, and other “gift refuse” are among the top five sources of waste during the holidays.

 

Fortunately, much of that waste can be effectively recycled, instead of simply being sent to the local landfill. Last year, the company Amazon reportedly delivered 1.5 billion holiday packages. That amounts to an enormous amount of cardboard boxes, the majority of which ended up in landfills across the country. However, cardboard and other sources of paper waste are a relatively easy to recycle material. One study estimates that recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees. Recycling those billions of Amazon Prime boxes would most likely save a decently-sized forest.

 

By renting a dumpster from Junk King of Worcester County, you can rest assured that we will go the extra mile to ensure that the vast majority of your holiday trash is properly recycled. Whereas other junk removal companies simply take your trash to the nearest landfill or incinerator, we at Junk King of Worcester are proud to say that over 60 percent of the junk and trash that we pick up gets donated or recycled. Over years of being in the junk removal industry, we have developed a huge network of relationships with donation facilities, thrift stores, and recycling operations. From finding a donation center for unwanted Christmas gifts, to saving forests by recycling your used holiday cardboard boxes, hiring a dumpster from Junk King is easily the “greenest” way to deal with your excess holiday waste.

 

We provide dumpster rental services to the following communities around Worcester County: Acton, Agawam, Arlington, Ashburnham, Belmont, Chicopee, Framingham, Grafton, Lancaster, Lexington, Oxford, Shrewsbury, Southborough, Springfield Townsend, Waltham, Westborough, and Worcester. We can also service to the Boston and Middlesex area.

 

Besides helping you with your holiday trash, we also work with individuals, homeowners, businesses, construction companies, and everyone in between, offering the most competitively priced dumpster rental service in our region. If you rent a dumpster from us, you can throw away virtually anything that isn’t classified as toxic waste, including appliances, furniture, mattresses, televisions, refrigerator/freezers, construction waste, e-waste, garbage, and more.

Top Four Tips for Dumpster Rental Worcester 

Even if you make an effort to limit the amount of trash and waste that your household or business creates, accumulating junk is almost an inevitability at some point in time. With many regions around the country approaching a serious landfill capacity crisis, reducing the amount of junk we send out to the curb is certainly an important part of developing a green lifestyle. Separating our organic wastes, making an effort to recycle, and donating used items instead of sending them to the dump are just a few of the things everyone can do to limit their “waste footprint.” However, even the most environmentally conscious person may at some time or another find themselves completely overwhelmed with an enormous amount of junk that needs to be disposed of. 

Whether you are going through a deep clean of your living space, are planning to upgrade the office furniture in the business you own, or are helping an elderly relative downsize into a smaller apartment, renting a dumpster is often the easiest and most convenient way to help you deal with your junk buildup. Junk King of Worcester, MA is the regional leader in professional junk removal services. Besides offering regular junk removal services, we also offer full-service dumpster rental. Below, we offer our top four tips for what you need to know when renting a dumpster. 

home filled with junk and debris

Tip #1: Choose a Dumpster Rental When You Need Time to Go Through Your “Stuff”

If you already know exactly what you need to get rid of, then renting a dumpster might not be the best option for you. For example, if you have an older couch that was torn apart by your pet, but don’t have a pickup truck that allows you to haul it off to the nearest donation facility, then a regular junk removal service is most likely the best way to get rid of that item. With Junk King of Worcester´s regular junk removal service, you simply have to pick a date and a two-hour window, and our junk removal professional will call you 15 minutes before arrival. We offer free, on-site price estimates, and can often take away your junk the day you call us. 

If, however, you are planning on getting rid of several items that are cluttering your home or business, then renting a dumpster is probably the best option. We have flexible time tables for our dumpster rentals, meaning that you can rent a dumpster for one day to two weeks, depending on your needs. This flexible time will allow you to take the necessary time to go through your older items and patiently determine what stays and what needs to go. 

Tip #2: Determine the Correct Size for Your Dumpster Container

Dumpsters come in several different sizes and are classified by the number of cubic yards of waste that they can hold. For example, the typical measurements for a 10 cubic yard dumpster are 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 3.5 feet high. It can hold up to 10 cubic yards of debris in volume, which is about 50-70 33-gallon trash bags. In comparison, the typical size of a 4 cubic yard dumpster is just 6 feet long, 4.5 feet wide and 4 feet high. 

The best size dumpster for your needs will be determined by the approximate amount of junk that you need to get rid of, and the available space that you have to place your dumpster. Junk King´s customer service representatives can help you determine the best size dumpster for your needs. You can text us an image of the junk you want to get rid of at 1-737-888-5865 and we can recommend the most adequate sized dumpster for that amount of junk. 

Tip #3: Take the Time to Determine the Ideal Placement and Location for Your Dumpster Rental 

Our junk removal professionals will install your rental dumpster wherever you determine is the best and most ideal location. Placing the dumpster at the end of your driveway might seem to be the most obvious location. However, it is important to think about how you are going to move your heavy, bulky junk from your home out to the dumpster location. Also, by placing your dumpster rental next to a public street, you might also find that neighbors or other people passing by will conveniently “use” your dumpster for their own trash removal needs. Lastly, some neighborhoods or homeowner´s associations may actually have ordinances that prohibit placing dumpsters on or near public streets. Again, our customer service representatives are more than happy to help you determine the best location for your dumpster rental so that getting rid of your excess junk is easy, efficient, and lawful.

Tip #4: Think about Where Your Junk is Going to End Up 

Just because you are throwing things into the dumpster doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t feel a sense of responsibility for where that junk eventually ends up. Moving beyond that “out of sight, out of mind mentality” is important if we are going to effectively deal with the environmental and ecological crises we face. By renting a dumpster from Junk King of Worcester, you can rest assured that up to 60 percent of the junk that we take away will either be recycled, sent to donation centers, repurposed, or upcycled.

Tom Indge, the proud owner of Junk King Worcester, believes that junk removal services can play an important role in helping to deal with the environmental issues we face. “My father was always re-purposing and recycling when I was growing up; he was into being green before it was popular,” Indge says. Keeping the planet clean has always been a goal for him, and Junk King of Worcester goes the extra mile to ensure that all the junk we pick up, whether from dumpster rentals or regular junk pick up services, stays out of area landfills. 

After years of working in the junk removal industry, our team has developed a huge network of relationships with donation facilities, thrift stores, and recycling operations where we can give your junk an opportunity to be reused, recycled, or repurposed. We know that furniture, appliances, hot tubs, and other bulky junk items take up a lot of space in the local landfill, and we also know that there are hundreds of families and other businesses that would be happy to renovate and put these items to use. We provide our dumpster rental Worcester services to the following communities around Worcester County: Acton, Agawam, Arlington, Ashburnham, Belmont, Chicopee, Framingham, Grafton, Lancaster, Lexington, Oxford, Shrewsbury, Southborough, Springfield Townsend, Waltham, Westborough, and Worcester. We can also offer our service to the Boston and Middlesex area.

Dumpster Rental Services in Worcester

Renting a dumpster might seem something that only large businesses need to do. Most homeowners, individuals, and small businesses have regular flows of waste can easily be handled by the normal trash collection and recycling services that we pay for. However, there are times when a dumpster would come in handy. Consider the amount of waste you have to deal with after hosting a wedding, doing major repairs or renovations to your home, or going through a deep de-clutter of your home before putting it on the market for sale. Instead of having to store mountains of junk while waiting for the garbage pickup day to come around, renting a dumpster offers a straightforward and uncomplicated solution to the problem at hand. 

Furthermore, most cities and towns have ordinances and regulations prohibiting individuals and business owners from placing bulky items on the curb for trash pickup. Old couches, sofas, beds, mattresses, and most appliances will not be picked up by regular trash service, and you might even get fined for leaving them out on the curb.  

A dumpster rental, on the other hand, can give you an efficient and hygienic way to get rid of your excess waste. Junk King of Worcester County offers the best priced dumper rental service in the state of Massachusetts. Not only do we have different sized dumpsters for you to choose from, but we also allow you to decide how long you need it for, and when you want us to come and pick it up. Below, we look at when a dumpster rental might make sense, and why Junk King of Worcester is the “greenest” way to get rid of your junk. 

When You Need a Dumpster Rental 

For homeowners and other individuals, a dumpster rental makes sense when you have a large amount of trash or waste that you plan to accumulate over a short period of time. If you simply need to get rid of a few large, bulky junk items, ordering a junk removal service from Junk King of Worcester is probably the cheapest and fastest way to get rid of your stuff.

However, if you are going through a deep de-cluttering process in your house, you probably will slowly be coming up with things you want gone over the period of several days. Having a rented dumpster placed in a convenient part of your property will allow you to simply fill up the dumpster as you slowly free up space in your home. Similarly, renting a dumpster can make it easy to clean up after a major party or event, giving you a hygienic place to “store” all the trash instead of piling up dozens of trash bags at the end of your driveway. Furthermore, dumpster rentals are also a great options for homeowners who are undergoing a major home renovation. Dumpsters give an easy place to store the construction and demolition (C&D) debris that accumulates during the renovations. 

For business owners, a dumpster rental can also be a great way to deal with excess waste streams that occur during certain times of the year. Exposed piles of debris can pose a serious risk to both your employees and your customers. For food-related businesses, excess trash that cannot be hygienically stored in bins is also unsanitary. In warehouse settings, exposed trash and waste material that is not properly stored could increase the risk of work-related injuries that can result in excessive workers compensation payments. 

Renting a dumpster, then, is also a great strategy for businesses that need to deal with excess amounts of trash during certain high-volume moments of business. 

Furthermore, businesses can benefit from renting a dumpster because there is a wide range of different types of waste that can be safely and legally disposed of in a dumpster. Construction debris, old furniture, regular trash, and other miscellaneous waste can all be piled into the same dumpster. If you rent from Junk King of Worcester, we´ll do the dirty work of sorting through your waste.

Making a Dumpster Rental Green

Renting a dumpster might not seem like it has any sort of environmental or “green” benefit. However, because dumpsters are significantly larger than the regular trash bins you use, they can help cut back on the greenhouse gas emissions associated with vehicle emissions. Because larger volumes of waste can be picked up and disposed of in one trip, this cuts down on carbon dioxide emissions from the vehicles, thus lowering individual or company’s carbon footprint.

Furthermore, renting a dumpster from Junk King of Worcester County also ensures that large amounts of your waste is either donated, upcycled, or recycled instead of ending up in a local landfill. A local article published in 2019 stated that: “In Massachusetts, the people who process our trash are facing what they call a crisis. Waste disposal capacity is down since two landfills in the state were phased out last year. On top of that, three of the state’s waste-to-energy facilities are currently shut down for maintenance.”

Diverting large amounts of trash from our already overburdened landfills is a pressing environmental priority. However, many dumpster rental companies and junk removal service companies simply take the trash they pick up directly to the nearest landfill. 

At Junk King of Worcester, we are proud to say that over 60 percent of the junk and trash that we pick up gets donated or recycled. We work with individuals, homeowners, businesses, construction companies, and everyone in between, offering the most competitively priced dumpster rental service in our region. If you rent a dumpster from us, you can throw away virtually anything that isn’t classified as toxic waste, including appliances, furniture, mattresses, televisions, refrigerator/freezers, construction waste, e-waste, garbage, and constructions waste.

5 Ways my Drop Off Dumpster Saved me Money in Worcester

Let’s face it: whenever you have more waste to deal with than what a household normally generates in a week, finding ways to rid yourself of it can be a troublesome affair. The difficulties grow with the amount of garbage, too. Whether you’re knocking down old drywall and renovating an investment property, or you’re doing a serious “deep clean” and downsizing your possessions, it’s all too easy to find yourself in a situation where you simply don’t have enough space to discard it all.

With a drop off dumpster placed on the property, your problems will be solved. It’s about more than the convenience of having a place to put bulky items or a large volume of waste, though. In fact, you’ll find that it’s an excellent way to save money too. Take a moment to consider five of the biggest ways a Worcester dumpster rental can keep more cash in your bank account where it belongs.
New Call-to-action

1. You won’t have to pay more for someone else to handle disposal

Let’s say you’re working with a contractor on a project in your home or place of business. That project will generate all kinds of debris, and it needs somewhere to go at the end of the day. If you leave things up to your contractor, chances are they’ll jump at the opportunity to charge you a “disposal fee” for removing the junk on their own. This could add up rapidly if they charge the same fee for each day that they work and generate waste. With a dumpster rental in Worcester, on the other hand, you’re only paying once, and all the charges are clear from the start.

Drop Off DumpsterEven if you’re working on your own, you’ll end up in a similar situation if you have nowhere to dispose of the garbage. You could end up facing the need to ask others to come and haul the junk away for you. That means more fees and charges that can add up quickly. When you’re working with a company that can provide a rental dumpster instead, you know what you’re paying up front — and it’s often far less than all the other associated charges.

2. No need to spend cash on garbage bags or gasoline

Perhaps instead of paying for junk removal or having a contractor do the hauling, you decide to do it yourself. It’s likely that you won’t have enough space in your home’s garbage bin to dispose of it all, especially when it comes to bulky and heavy items. You may not have the opportunity to place it on the curb for bulk trash pickup services, either. That leaves you with one option: hauling it all to the local dump yourself. That is, of course, if they’ll even accept the materials you have to discard. You can likely expect to pay the dump some disposal fees for every trip that you make there.

This is where the cost of hauling the garbage yourself really begins to increase. Aside from the disposal fees, you’ll also be paying for heavy duty garbage bags to pack it all away before transport. Then you’ll need to factor in the cost of all the gasoline you’ll burn going to and from the drop-off point. Add it all up, and it can become quite a substantial expense. Compared to the cost of renting a dumpster, this method can prove to be much pricier.

3. The right type of rental gives you financial flexibility

Depending on the type of drop off dumpster you choose to rent, you can save more money with this option as well. How? It all comes down to the ways various dumpster companies price their rentals for their local market. Sometimes, you will encounter businesses that charge based on the sizes of the different dumpsters available, the weight of the refuse you throw away, and other factors as well. This can come out to a substantial total, which at first glance might make you think a dumpster rental is actually not the option you want to choose.

However, keep in mind that other businesses don’t charge based on weight, and provide a dumpster of a reasonable size for most small to medium-sized projects. Instead of weight-based charges, it is all about the amount that you fill up the trash receptacle. In other words, if your project produces less garbage than you expect and you fill up less than half of the total dumpster volume, you won’t have to pay full price. Even a full load typically has a more competitive price than other dumpster providers that seem to want to nickel and dime customers at every turn. By choosing a more flexible option, you can save money and still accomplish the job with the same level of dependability.

4. You can dodge fines or fees for improper disposals

Maybe you decide to risk it and dump the garbage on the curb for municipal pickup anyway. What happens when it turns out that isn’t allowed? City codes may restrict the amount or location of dumping carried out by those in residential and commercial properties. You could find yourself slapped with fines as punishment for placing garbage where your locale says it is prohibited. You must be especially careful when the waste produced by your work includes some type of hazardous material, which requires special disposal. While dumpster companies typically won’t take hazardous waste either, they will accept almost everything else. Don’t run the risk of a write-up and the associated fines when you can rent a temporary dumpster and have it hauled away professionally instead.

5. Avoid costly delays that put a project behind schedule

In some cases, disposal of debris is an essential task to complete before a project can move forward. For example, in an interior demolition, you may need to clear away the trash from one stage of the project before you can proceed with the next stage. What happens if you have nowhere to put it all, or if you have to wait on someone else to come in and handle the cleanup job? Delays. Time is money, especially when contractors are on the clock and delaying a project to deal with disposal problems is almost like lighting money on fire.

With a dumpster rental, that’s not the case. As soon as the waste is generated, you or your work partners can carry it all out of the property to the conveniently located dumpster. When you throw things away as the project proceeds, you won’t run into the same types of delays you would otherwise. With the ability to call for a fresh dumpster to replace one that you’ve already filled up, you can keep downtime to a minimum and power through the hardest parts of the work. The result is a project that’s easier to keep not only on time, but on budget as well.

Find a drop off dumpster that works for you

With these reasons in mind, the benefits of opting for a drop off dumpster should be clear for all to see. Whether it is a renovation project at home or a small construction project, you’ll find there are many ways to save money when you opt for a rental over the other potential options. Plus you can enjoy knowing that the right company will do their part to keep the planet green by recycling everything that doesn’t need to go into a landfill. Take the time to evaluate all the options for your project, and then choose the one that fits your needs best.
