Planning a major project? You may have decided that you want to try your hand at some DIY renovations on your home, or maybe your old deck needs to be removed and replaced. Maybe you’re not planning anything quite so grand, but you do need to do a total home cleanout. Maybe you’re a landlord and need to prepare a property for a new tenant or have inherited a home you need cleaned out before you can sell it. Regardless of what you’re planning, you’re going to have to deal with junk and potentially some debris.
Many people turn to junk removal services to get rid of worn-out furniture or broken appliances. Junk King will come pick up these items and get rid of them for you, but what about projects that make more trash as you go? You don’t want to call us every day. Instead, you might find that renting a dumpster is the ideal solution, It gives you a place to collect all the trash you make during your project. When you’re done, we come pick it up, and all that debris is gone.
If you’re wondering about whether or not your project could be made easier with a dumpster rental in North Houston, here are a few tasks that are perfect for a dumpster.
Summer Cleaning
If you regularly clean out your closets, basement, attic, and garage, you may not need to do a major spring cleaning that involves a dumpster. However, if you’ve gone years without purging, you may have more trash to get rid of than you can fit in your city garbage bin. Renting a dumpster can make the whole process easier, especially if you know you’ve got some old furniture stashed in the basement that you need to get rid of. Having a dumpster gives you a space to put all the junk so it doesn’t take up space in your home. This gives you more room to sort and organize.
If you own a small business, renting a dumpster for an annual cleaning can also be very useful. You might have a lot of damaged product that you cannot sell in addition to old marketing materials that you won’t be able to use again. Broken shelving and other damaged display units may also be taking up some space in your backroom. It’s time to get rid of all of that stuff. Once it’s gone, you will have more room for new products and other items that you will actually get some use out of.
Redoing Your Backyard
Thinking about a backyard renovation? Sometimes, you just need to get in there and rip out some dead bushes, take up that old paver patio, or tear down your kid’s old treehouse that they haven’t used in years. When you plan out a backyard renovation, one thing you’ll likely realize is that it’s going to create a lot of debris.
There are a lot of different components to a backyard remodel. You may want to touch nearly every inch of the space, or you may just want to redo a few things that are showing their age. As far as landscaping goes, you could take out bushes, remove or add flowerbeds, and even cut down trees. All of this yard debris can go straight into your dumpster rental.
You may also want to take down and replace some of the structures in your backyard. If your children don’t play in their playhouse or treehouse, or if they’ve outgrown their swing set, you can take it down and add it to the dumpster. Old sheds can also be dismantled and tossed alongside old decks. Paver patio stones can also go in the dumpster.
By putting all of this debris straight into the dumpster, you’re essentially cleaning as you go. Otherwise, you’re going to have a pile of debris on one side of your backyard while the other side looks great. You then have to figure out how to get rid of all that debris. Loading it up into a truck can be a pain, especially since you have all those loose branches to deal with. Having a dumpster you can use to contain this mess makes the cleanup so much easier.
Remodeling
Doing a DIY remodel? A dumpster is ideal for this type of task. You’re going to have a good amount of debris early in the project as you do demolition. You may have old cabinets and counters, bathroom vanities and tubs, and old flooring. All of that goes right into your dumpster without a second thought. But you’ll have more trash over the course of the project. You may have the packaging that your new flooring tiles come in or that was used to protect your cabinets. You’ll have remnants from cutting materials to fit, too.
Having a dumpster will, again, help you keep the mess contained. When you’re dealing with things like cut boards that may have sharp edges on them or strips of pulled-up carpet tacks, there’s a risk of injury. Being able to put these hazardous items into the dumpster where it’s less likely someone will hurt themselves is very helpful.
Preparing for a New Tenant
If you own rental properties, you may have a tenant who leaves behind a ton of junk. This is especially true if you have to evict someone. They may leave old furniture, broken appliances, trash, and much more. Some may even damage the property to the point that you have to put in new flooring and repair the walls. Even if your rental property is left in good condition, there will come a time when you have to do some maintenance and upgrades to continue attracting new tenants.
Dumpsters make doing these upgrades, renovations, and cleanouts much easier. If you know you don’t need to keep anything in the house, you can haul it all straight out to the dumpster before you start pulling up flooring or replacing the counters. Whether you own a single rental house or an apartment complex, you’ll want to reach out to Junk King to learn more about dumpster rental and junk hauling. You’ll likely find that you call us more often than you thought, especially if you have multiple properties.
Prepare Your Home for Sale
Another instance in which you may be doing some remodels and have some junk to get rid of is when you’re preparing your home for the market. You’ll want it to look great, and that may mean replacing stained carpet or dated fixtures. As you’re packing up your possessions, you may also come to realize that some of your furniture doesn’t look that great. You might decide that you need some new items to go in your new home, so the old things need to go. Everyone ends up with some trash as they move out, so even if you don’t need a dumpster, you may still need our junk hauling services.
The home you’re preparing to sell may not necessarily be your own, either. If you’ve inherited a home, or if your parents have had to move into an assisted living facility, you may need to get their house ready for the market. You may find that there’s a lot of stuff that needs to go, especially if your parents lived in that house for decades. If no one wants their furniture, you may end up getting rid of it. In fact, if that furniture is in good condition, you want to call Junk King instead of one of our competitors for one very specific reason.
We Donate and Recycle
Unlike some junk hauling services and dumpster rental companies, Junk King is dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint. To that end, we keep as much as possible out of the landfill. The first thing we do when we pick up one of our rented dumpsters in Houston North is take it to our warehouse and empty it out. If we find any furniture, appliances, or other items that are still in good condition, we donate them. We work with a number of organizations in North Houston to ensure that these items get into the hands of those who are in need.
If we can’t donate it, we will try to recycle it. We send anything obviously recyclable to a recycling center, but we will also take apart furniture and other items to get to the metal, wood, and other materials. While we may not be able to donate or recycle everything, we will do our best to keep as much as possible out of the landfill.
