Dumpster Rental in Boston: Planning your Spring Clean-up

The snow is melting, the days are getting longer, and the temperatures are rising. These signs can only mean one thing: spring is just around the corner. The arrival of a new season also means that it’s almost time for spring cleaning. Before you groan and roll your eyes, remember that spring cleaning has a slew of different benefits. Cleaning the house can eliminate allergens and make for a healthy living environment. It can declutter your life and free up space in your home, expanding your potential living space. It can even provide a fun way to sift through mementos and memories with your spouse or family members. The first step? Finding a dumpster rental in Boston.

Why You Need a Dumpster Rental

Dumpster RentalSpring cleaning doesn’t necessarily have to be about throwing a ton of stuff out. On the contrary, a minor spring cleaning year might consist of a deep clean, a pass through your closet to find items for donation, and a journey through your fridge or pantry to find expired stuff that needs tossing. However, if you are planning a more extensive spring cleanup, you are almost definitely going to want to rent a dumpster.

Here’s the thing: it’s tough to appreciate exactly how much stuff you have until you are trying to get it all cleaned up and organized. Especially if you own your own home, you probably have things stowed in your basement, in the garage, or at the back of your closet that you haven’t thought about for years. It doesn’t take very long to fill up a standard weekly pickup trash bin. In other words, unless you want your spring cleanup to grind to a screeching halt an hour or two in, you are going to want extra trash capacity.

Renting a dumpster can also give you the option to get rid of bigger items. Perhaps you have an old couch from the 1980s sitting in your basement that you’ve finally decided to replace. Alternatively, maybe you have a huge cathode ray TV that’s been sitting in the storage room collecting dust for a decade. You can’t throw those items away in a standard garbage bin, and they’re tough to fit in a car to haul away to a donation place or recycling center. Renting a dumpster can give you a spot to put these more unwieldy items right outside your door.

Finding a Dumpster Rental in Boston

Okay, so you’re on board with the whole “renting a dumpster” thing. Now, the next question is where you can get your hands on a good, affordable dumpster rental in Boston.

Boston is a major metropolitan area, so there are plenty of dumpster rental options available to you locally. These companies will offer dumpster rentals of varied sizes, for different periods of time. If you are planning to do your spring cleanup over the course of a weekend—which should be more than doable, in most cases—you probably don’t need more than a three-day rental. With that said, you can get a longer dumpster rental if you think you’ll need it.

Choosing the right dumpster size can be a bigger dilemma, and tends to be the step where most spring cleaners go awry. Generally, people tend to overestimate how much junk they have. This error is partially the fault of the dumpster rental companies themselves, which typically offer five or six bin sizes between 10 and 40 cubic yards. The range of choices tends to confuse first-time renters, leading people to rent dumpsters that are way bigger than necessary for a standard spring cleaning operation.

Why You Should Choose Junk King

If you want the best dumpster option for a spring cleanup, you’d be hard-pressed to do better than Junk King.

There are a few reasons that Junk King is ideal for spring cleaning, but the first might be simplicity. Choice is good, but when it comes to dumpster sizing, we’ve found that having half a dozen options just tends to confuse people. This point is especially true with homeowners who are handling their own spring cleaning work and maybe haven’t ever rented a dumpster before. Plain and simple, it’s not easy to visualize what a 20 or 30 cubic yard dumpster looks like until it’s sitting in your driveway.

To make things easier for renters, we offer a single self-service dumpster rental size, called the MINI. The MINI is a 12-cubic yard dumpster, which is just about perfect for most DIY projects. It’s big enough to fit larger items like appliances or furniture, but not so big that it takes up the entire driveway. Most spring cleanups—even the bigger ones—won’t require more dumpster space than the MINI provides.

There are a few other factors that make the Junk King MINI the ultimate dumpster rental for spring cleaning. First off, we offer a unique tiered pricing structure that is ideal for DIY projects. With most dumpster rental companies, you pay for the dumpster you rent, regardless of whether you fill it or not. With us, you pay only for the space you use. If you fill the dumpster less than half of the way, that’s no big deal: you won’t pay as much as you would if you filled it. If you do use the entire dumpster, that’s great: you’ll pay the price you were quoted, with no hidden charges or fees. Either way, you won’t end up wasting money.

The second facet of Junk King that makes are dumpster rentals attractive to spring cleaners is our commitment to offering a green service. Most of our customers would rather recycle than send all their junk to the landfill. Dumpster rentals are convenient, but they aren’t usually very eco-friendly. Most companies will haul your stuff to the nearest dump immediately after picking up your dumpster.

At Junk King, we take everything instead to our processing center, where we painstakingly sort through everything in your dumpster. Some of it does end up going to the landfill. However, we also pull out furniture, appliances, electronics, toys, paper, metals, or other items that can be reused, repurposed, or recycled. All told, we recycle roughly 60% of the junk we haul, making us the greenest junk removal service in America. With us, you get the peace of mind of knowing that you are being sustainable without the inconvenience of having to sort, recycle, or donate everything on your own. Particularly if you are someone who struggles to get motivated for spring cleaning every year, the added convenience should be a major perk.
