Old homes can benefit immensely from a carefully planned renovation. It can hard, expensive, and time-consuming but the results are definitely worth it. Make sure that you get a competent contractor for the job. Discuss all the repairs and redesigns that you would like to undertake. Get everything ready for the project so that it can run as smoothly as possible. Remember that you may have to remove parts of the existing structure and fixtures in order to make way for the new ones.  Get a dumpster rental to manage all of the waste effectively. Here are some tips on using one:

 

Select the Right Size

Dumpsters come in various sizes with each one being suited for different types of projects. For example, the smallest units are great for landscaping and renovation in residential areas. Their size makes it easy to maneuver them into place despite tight corners and narrow streets - common features of cities and suburbs. It would also be easier to fit them in driveways or some other part of the private property. The larger the unit, the bigger the footprint. It might hold more volume of debris but it is tricky to find a good spot for it to rest on.

 

Keep It Close to the Site

The dumpster should be kept as close to the site being renovated as possible. The farther it is, the harder it will be to put the debris inside. Construction waste can be heavy as it may involve slabs, planks, pipes, and so on. Having to walk for even a dozen meters while carrying massive weights can be back-breaking. It is also inefficient. The workers will be wasting their time and energy going back and forth. What often happens is that the debris gets thrown on the yard where the pile builds up for the rest of the day in an unsightly mess. Only after doing the workers move everything to the faraway dumpster. If the unit was near, then such a hassle could be avoided. 

 

Get the Proper Permits

There may be cases wherein it is simply impossible to put the dumpster in the renter's private property. Perhaps they don't have a big enough driveway or yard to accommodate the unit. Maybe the truck that delivers the dumpster can't even fit into the narrow street leading to the house. If so, then there is no choice but to place it far away from the site. Perhaps a spot on a not so busy street might do. Even if you think that it might not cause that much of an inconvenience to your neighbors, it would still be ideal for you to get the proper permits since you will be taking up public space. Otherwise, this might be forced out by the authorities.

 

Don't Fill to the Brim

Every bin has a specific capacity. That said, it is not advisable to fill them up to the brim as this might cause problems during transportation. Debris might fall off to the sides and wreak havoc on the roads. Follow the instructions of the rental company. There might also be a visible line that marks the maximum height of the contents.
