Rent a Dumpster or Hire a Junk Hauler? Which is Right for Your Project? Trash, junk, and debris are a fact of life. Many of us have junk that piles up over the years, whether it’s intentional or not. We have trash that, typically, gets disposed of regularly, while debris can take longer to deal with since it’s often larger or you have more of it. Debris after a storm, for example, can include large tree limbs or even entire trees. Figuring out how to get rid of this junk or debris isn’t always easy because of these issues. When it comes to getting rid of bulk trash, you have two options: you can hire Junk King Dayton to come haul it all away, or you can contact us about dumpster rental. Both of these options can be very useful, but the right one depends on the project you have. Let’s take a look at how junk hauling and dumpster rental differ and what types of projects are right for each. Are You Cleaning Out Someone Else’s Home? If you’ve recently inherited a home, have purchased a home as-is, or have a rental property that the tenant abandoned, you may have a lot of stuff to deal with. In some cases, junk hauling is the right solution. For example, if you’ve bought a home that’s full of junk, you probably don’t want to keep any of it. You want the house cleared out so you can move in or flip it. If you have a rental property, the same is likely true—once you’ve done everything required by law to let the former tenant know you have their stuff, you just want it out so you can get a new tenant in. In those cases, junk hauling is ideal. Junk King will come in and empty out the house so you can get to work making repairs or renovating it. In other cases, though, you may need a dumpster. If you’re helping a hoarder clean out their home, there may be some items in there that they should keep. However, you’ll have a lot of stuff to sort through while you’re looking for that treasure. Being able to put the trash into the dumpster as you go will help you slowly empty out the house. The same is also true of a house you’ve inherited. You may find that there’s a lot of stuff in the attic, basement, or garage that’s trash, but there’s also a lot you want to keep. A dumpster is the best option here, too. Are You Going to Make More Debris as You Go? Some projects generate more trash as you go. Renovations, for example, usually involve making more debris as you work. Most of the trash will come from the initial demolition, of course. That’s when you’re ripping up old flooring, removing walls, demolishing cabinets, and generally destroying stuff. Once that’s done, though, you’ll still have some trash to handle as you go. First, there’s the packaging your new flooring, cabinets, and other items come wrapped in. Second, there are the remnants of flooring, molding, and other things you have to cut to fit. You might also have empty tubes of caulking, drop cloths, and other trash. Then there’s always the risk that you’ll have to demo more than you thought once you get into the walls, floors, or other parts of the house. Having a dumpster on hand for any type of DIY remodel, whether it’s an interior renovation, exterior work, or something in your yard, is a great idea. Otherwise, you may find that you have to call us out several times to pick up junk. While our prices are very competitive, that’s still going to add up. Having a dumpster is the more affordable option in this case. Businesses Can Make Use of Us, Too Businesses that are moving to a new location, expanding, or doing a major spring cleaning may need junk hauling or dumpster rental services. Again, it depends on what you have to get rid of. If you’re moving office, you may move everything you want, then call us to take what’s left at your old location. Renovating a new space, on the other hand, likely requires a dumpster. Spring cleaning or getting rid of old stock could go either way. If you know exactly what you want to trash, junk hauling is the right solution, but if you need to sort through things, having a dumpster onsite is helpful.
