Question Of The Week: What Does Level Load Mean?


Recently one of our customers asked this great question: What does it mean when you say the bin needs to be level loaded?  

Well, there is a sign on every bin that reads LEVEL LOAD ONLY.  Although it sounds like you should evenly distribute the weight of materials in the bin, which you should try to do, it actually means that you should not overload the bin above the top.  Every bin has to be tarped and driven down the road, and regulations require that nothing protrudes above the top of the dumpster.  



Knowing which size bin you will need for your project will play a key part in being able to load it appropriately. This is where our questions come in. When calling to schedule a residential friendly Bin There Dump That bin, we will ask lots of them. We want to make sure that we deliver the ideal size bin for your materials. Our knowledgable team is happy to suggest options and answer any questions you may have. 

Give us a call for your next project and experience a residential friendly, hassle-free Bin There Dump That rental! 

If you're in the area, stop by our office located on 24 Mass Ave., in Lunenburg and meet the team. 

Thanks for reading and please feel free to contact us with any questions or if you would like to schedule a rental.

Declutter Your Home Fast: Our Top Clutter Busters

Do you remember when you first moved into your home?  How spacious and empty it looked, a blank canvas full of possibilities.  Then the clutter came.  And your blank canvas became more crowded and cramped with each passing year.  Where did all that space go?
Did you know, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, 32 percent of people with two-car garages are only able to park one car inside due to clutter?  And the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) says 80 percent of what we keep we never actually use.  Crazy, right?  Well, here are some tips to help you beat these statistics.





Wonder How To Declutter Fast?
Clutter has a way of sneaking up on us, and whether you plan on making it a part of you New Year's resolution or maybe just want to get a beat on spring cleaning, a clutter free home is within reach. Here are four can't miss way to make it a reality.


Getting Started Is Half The Battle 
A cluttered home or garage can seem daunting at first, and even just taking the first step to getting started clearing it might feel terribly overwhelming.  Don't be your own roadblock.  Pick one room, break it up into sections, and work through one section at a time.  This will give you results you can actually see.
Pace yourself while you're at it.  These tips will help you declutter fast, but it's not a race.  Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was a accumulation of clutter you've built up around your home.  To improve the organization of what goes and what stays, try to keep your items separated into three categories: trash, donate, and keep.
If the trash pile turns into a bit more than you bargained for, we can help!


Sentimental Value Doesn't Make It An Automatic Keeper
The majority of us like to keep items that remind us of loved ones, significant milestones, and past treasured memories.  It's part of what makes us human.  Sorting through such items can be a difficult task.  Take a trip down memory lane and try to pare down these items one box of nostalgia at a time.


Donate Now And Donate Often To Declutter Your Home Fast
What's that old saying, "One person's clutter is another person's thrift store jackpot?" Something along those lines.  If you have a box of items ready to donate, put it in your car now. The next time you're out, you'll have a box of donations riding shotgun. It's the perfect reminder to make a quick stop at your local donation center or charitable drop-box while your out and about.


Get Paid To Reduce Clutter In Your Home
From old sporting equipment to used furniture items, and even clothing, there's a good chance pieces and parts of your clutter could make you a little money.  Internet resale sites and consignment boutiques are a great resource when it comes to relieving clutter or unwanted items around the house.  The best part is, a financial return while simultaneously cleaning house.

Using these tips as a starting points will help you on your road to a successfully decluttered home!

And for all those items that end up in the trash pile, give us a call.  We will be happy to discuss your project, and recommend the best bin size that will be ideal for getting rid of all those leftover unwanted items.

3 Ways Bin There Dump That Can Save Time And Money

So you've identified that your project, whether it's decluttering the house or a home renovation, like installing a new roof, will require a dumpster rental afterwards.  Now it's our part to provide you with the ultimate hassle-free residential friendly dumpster rental experience.

With that in mind, here are three tips to make your project as efficient and easy as possible:


Roofing Clean Up Made Easier                              

Placement of a bin can be more important than you might think.  One of the many things that sets  Bin There Dump That apart from the others is our residential friendly equipment.  We pride ourselves in being able to provide our customers with a hassle-free experience, especially when it comes to loading up our bins.  Our residential friendly equipment allows us to be able to place the bins conveniently close to your project at hand.  We are also able to fit down narrow streets and driveways.
Placement of our bins, no matter how tight the space, is vital when stripping or re-doing a roof.  By placing the bin snug up against your garage or home, you and your contracted roofer can easily discard debris collected on the roof by conveniently sweeping them into the Bin There Dump That bin below.  This makes our bins optimal for your roofing projects.  Also, once the job is done and the bin is loaded onto the truck, we will sweep up the area to make sure no stray nails are left lingering around.

Rent A Dumpster With Your Neighbors

Strive to make your bin rental experience as cost-effective as possible.  If you notice a neighbor that has collected items in their garage or is close to completing a home renovation, invite them to chip in on your bin rental.  This may spur more activity with surrounding neighbors, and you may find several neighbors who want to participate.  This is a great way for everyone to get rid of unwanted items at a shared cost.

Maximize Your Dumpster Space

No matter how big or small your project, from 4 yards to 20 yards, we have the right size bin for it. That being said, it's best to maximize your space accordingly.  Larger items should be placed snug up against the walls of the bin.  These larger items may consist of furniture and appliances.  It's advocated to be strategical in the loading of your bin.  Properly loading your dumpster rental can save you time and money in having to rent a second one.  We want to make sure, just as you do, that all those unwanted items will fit properly into our residential friendly bins and off your toss list.

With these helpful tips in mind, feel free to give us a call or contact us online with any questions you may have, or if you would like to schedule a reservation on a rental for your upcoming project!

Also, visitors are always welcome to stop in and visit us at our new office located on 24 Massachusetts Ave., in Lunenburg.  Come meet the team and lets talk about your next project!

Need A Dumpster? These 4 Spring Projects Say You Do

Ah, Spring! The time of year when you spend your freetime and weekends outdoors enjoying the beautiful weather. A time when backyard get-togethers include cookouts and laughs around a toasty evening fire.
Unfortunately, the reality is that your house and yard are probably a mess from the winter months of neglect and pure avoidance. Tackling some much needed spring cleaning inside as well as sprucing up your outdoor space become top priorities on your seemingly neverending to-do list. A dumpster is a key piece in accomplishing a well thought out plan to getting yourself organized and spring ready! Here's some inspiration...

Spring Cleaning 
Yes, this is a thing. Not just an empty phrase thrown out there to describe an imaginary precursor to the wonderful season. Before you can tackle the actual scrubbing of corners, you have to first clear out. Start with kitchen cupboards. Take each item out, give it a good hard stare and ask yourself if you really use it or ever will. Say goodbye to that oversized, dusty kitchen appliance that you had such good intentions to use. Hit the bathroom. Purge the beauty products that have gathered dust for a year. Toss out old cosmetics, broken toys, old mops, ratty rugs, the list goes on! Spring is a time to purge, purge, purge. Into the dumpster they go.

Inspect The Outside Of Your Home
Winter may have beat up on your home a bit. Time to take a walk around outside for a spring inspection. Inspect your roof for any loose, missing or damaged shingles. Check the yard for any damaged shingles that may have fallen. Inspect your wood fencing and remove any rotted or damaged portions. Check your wooden steps and decking for any cracks, rotting boards or places where nails have popped up. Clean out the debris from your gutters and make any needed repairs.

Clean Up The Yard 
Everything looks so pretty under blankets of freshly fallen snow. One of the best things about winter is the excuse to completely ignore any yard work.  Well, guess what? The snow is gone, and the time is now! Decaying leaves you never got around to raking, fallen limbs from that big storm, and trash that blew in from who knows where. Our 4yd bin is the perfect fit for a yard clean up!

Clean Out The Garage

If you're looking to use your garage this summer for housing that lawn mower or those beach toys, you'd better get going on clearing it out. What to toss? Broken outdoor toys, rusty, wobbly, old lawn furniture, or really any underused item that has been taking up space indefinitely in your garage. One thing to note: you can toss almost anything in a Bin There Dump That dumpster - except for liquids or hazardous waste. So please, no motor oil, gasoline, paint, household cleaning chemicals or pesticides.
Once you've got a good handle on what goes and what stays, it's time to organize. Utilize the walls! With the right shelves and hooks, you can actually double your storage space and have a perfectly organized garage. Being able to find what you're looking for, when you need it, is almost as great as having enough open space to actually store it.

Time To Rent A Dumpster
When you're ready to tackle your spring cleaning chores, Bin There Dump That will be ready too! (Actually, we're always ready. You're the one procrastinating.)
Our residential friendly bins snug up conveniently in your driveway so you'll only have to walk a few steps to load all of your unwanted items. And don't worry about heaving that old lawn furniture over the side of the bin. Walk right in through our easy access double doors. Not every dumpster company offers this back-saving feature. We do!
We also provide our guaranteed property protection system with every rental. Our operators place protective boards under every bin prior to placement. This helps to distribute the weight of the bin evenly while also protecting your driveway from any scratches or gouges.


Give us a call or contact us online for more information or to schedule a reservation on a bin for your next project.

Dumpster Rental Comparison: What Makes Bin There Dump That Different?






Trying to compare dumpster companies? Here are 9 ways Bin There Dump That is different from your average dumpster rental company.

1. Real People Answer The Phone- 
When you call your local Bin There Dump That to arrange a bin rental, you will speak with a local franchise operator, not an automated system.  And the professional and friendly communication continues throughout your experience.

Questions along the way? Just ask. We are always happy to answer any and all questions you may have to make your experience the best it can be.  Expect questions from us too.  A good dumpster rental company asks plenty of questions about your needs and your project to help you decide on the best size bin.

2. Easy Access Walk-In Doors-
All of our bins have double back doors that easily open and latch for convenient walk-in loading.  You won't fully appreciate this feature until you're grunting your way to your dumpster rental, lugging that old basement couch out for it's final goodbye.
Heave it up over the side of the bin? That's preposterous. Walk right in, through our easy-access double doors. Not every dumpster company offers this back-saving feature. You can count on it here!

3. No Hidden Fees-
Some companies include hidden charges that customers don't discover until it's too late. 
Bin There Dump That has no hidden fees. You'll know up front exactly what you'll pay for the service we provide. The commitment of up-front pricing is very important to Bin There Dump That. 

4. Our Bins Fit Right In-
Bin There Dump That bins are driveway friendly, and designed for homeowners. That means they tuck right up in your driveway near your house, for convenient loading and accessibility. We can fit into narrow streets and driveways with ease. Chances are, you can still park your car in your garage while the bin is there.  

5. We Sweep Up-
Your dumpster is loaded with all that unwanted clutter and the driver is ready to haul it away. Mission accomplished! But first, our drivers grab a broom and give your driveway a thorough sweep so you don't have to worry about any stray nails, glass shards or scraps of wood sneaking into your lawn, getting stuck in a tire or puncturing your barefoot. 
You'll also notice that on pick up your bin will be securely covered with a tarp to be transported for disposal, so that debris will stay safely contained within the bin until it reaches it's final destination.   

6. You're Property Is Safe With Us-
At Bin There Dump That we care about your property and there's no reason you should have any damage as a result of a dumpster rental. That's where our property protection system comes into place. Our operators place protective wooden boards down prior to placement of the dumpster. This ensures that the bin never touches the surface of your property. It helps to distribute the weight of the bin evenly and protects your driveway from any scratches or gouges. 

7. Contents Are Promptly Delivered To A Transfer Station-
When it comes time to say goodbye to your dumpster, the contents you've discarded are taken directly to a transfer station where it will be properly RECYCLED. 

8. Need A Bin Last Minute? Just Ask-
If you need a bin last minute, give us a call. If we can, we will accommodate same-day delivery requests.  But if possible, we usually ask for some notice. This way we can make sure to get you the appropriate size bin for the desired schedule to fit your project's needs.

9. Our Bins Are Practically Pretty-
You don't want a huge, rusty, smelly old dumpster in your driveway.  Bin There Dump That bins are clean and professional. And, we have clean, professional, courteous drivers to match. 

So give us a call for your next project and enjoy the Bin There Dump That hassle-free dumpster rental experience!
