What Size Bin Do I Need For My Project?

They say size matters.  And we agree! At least when it comes to the size of the Bin There Dump That dumpster rental needed to help you complete your next project.  Bin sizes are measured in cubic yards.  Whether you're doing a small clean up, or a major renovation, there is a bin for your job.  The various sizes include 4, 10, 15, and 20 yards.
And remember, with a Bin There Dump That rental you are not only provided with a clean, well maintained, extremely functional, residential friendly bin, but the peace of mind that your property won't be damaged thanks to our property protection guarantee. Our skilled operators place protective boards under every bin to ensure that your driveway is safe from any gouges or marks. We also sweep up once the job is done!

The only real challenge is to decide what size bin to get.  Here is some help:

4 Yard Bin

Small Projects For A 4 Yard Bin
The 4 yard bin is the perfect fit for small jobs such as clearing out last year's failed garden, leftover construction debris, or a small renovation. If a yard clean up is on your to-do list, this bin should be too!

10 Yard Bin 

Medium Projects For 10 & 15 Yard Bins 
The 10 yard bin is probably the most commonly requested bin. It can serve almost any household job (except perhaps a major renovation).  If you're clearing out a garage, or a basement, remodeling a small bathroom, removing some decking, or even getting a new roof, a mid-sized dumpster is likely a good fit for your project.



Large Projects For 15 & 20 Yard Bins 
Do you have a project that means business? Well we have the bin for you.  If you're adding an addition to your home, or clearing out grandma's attic, our larger bins might be the right fit for you. Or now that the kids are out of the house, and you're ready to downsize, it might be the perfect time to finally sort through those decades of toys, furniture, and other stuff you may no longer need.

15 Yard Bin

20 Yard Bin

Still Not Sure What You Need?
If you're still not sure and need help deciding what size bin you need, give us a call at Bin There Dump That, and we will gladly take the time to understand what your project's needs are so you can best accomplish your task at hand.

The statistics of clutter

[INFORMATION] ON HOW HOUSEHOLD CLUTTER AFFECTS YOUR HOME LIFE

    

We can all agree how frustrating this is....

Winter comes and you've worked hard your entire life to afford a two-car garage in which you can park the cars in said garage during the winter but the garage is filled with household clutter. In fact, if this adequately describes your current situation, you'd be part of the 25% of Americans who cannot park their cars in their two-car garage because it's filled with clutter. 

We can promise you that in this info-graphic you'll discover household clutter statistics that will make you think about the items you'll keep around the house. Going forward you'll be more likely to do yearly household de-cluttering, perhaps with a Bin There Dump That dumpster. 

Check out the infographic below to discover how less clutter in your house can lead to paying your bills on time, eliminating the need for costly storage units and eliminate a significant percentage of your routine household chores. 

So, I bet you are more inclined to declutter now, right? Leave a comment on which stat had the greatest impact on you and your strategy to combatting clutter going forward.

Question of the week: Does my driveway have to be completely flat for placement?

While driveways are an obvious choice for where most residential roll-off dumpsters are placed, there are however, some places your dumpster rental should just not go. 

Sloped Surfaces

It’s all fine and dandy to put an empty bin on a slope, but things can change quickly once you start loading it up with junk. As the dumpster takes on more and more weight from whatever you’re tossing in it, the potential of the dumpster sliding or skating down a slope increases.

This is particularly important to keep in mind during winter, early spring, or late fall conditions when the threat of frost and freezing is present.

A lot of our roofing customers have experienced skating on a steep driveway. Think about all the roofing materials and scrap getting tossed into a dumpster rental from the roof — that slamming and compacting action onto the bin actually can cause it to skate right down into the street.

That said, sloped surfaces aren’t entirely off limits and getting a second opinion from your local Bin There Dump That franchise operator is a great idea. Thanks to our residentially-friendly roll-off dumpsters, our Delivery Experts are more than willing to work with your sloped driveway — positioning the dumpster in a secure and easily accessible location.

Question of the week: How much space do I need for a dumpster rental to fit on my property?

It can be hard to visualize a dumpster rental based simply on the dimensions and measurements. Our dumpsters have the footprint of a minivan and fit into a standard size parking spot. All of our equiptment is built to be residential friendly. This means that our dumpster and our trucks can fit snug up to your property, into tighter spots, and close to your project at hand. So if you have a narrow street or driveway, no need to worry! Don't be afraid to ask questions if you don’t know something — We will answer anything you throw at us.

Please give us a call or contact us online and we can discuss your project needs.

The Bagster vs. Dumpster Rental - Which Should I Use?

Paper or plastic? Dogs or cats? The correct answers depend on what you need, want or prefer.

Similarly, dumpsters and the Bagster also have their own sets of pros and cons. So before you use one or the other, make sure to do your homework to see which one is best for you and your project.

Here are five things to consider when it comes to choosing between Waste Management's (WM) Bagster vs. dumpster rental from a local provider like Bin There Dump That.

Container Size And Materials Accepted

The main determining factor for you might be what you can fit in the dumpster or Bagster.

Dumpsters come in a variety of sizes from 4 to 40 yard bins and hold both small and large items, including boxes, furniture, landscape and home renovation materials, appliances, clothes, trash and clutter. You can talk with the dumpster operator to see which size they would recommend for your project.

The Bagster is designed to handle smaller jobs like garage, attic or yard clean outs and is 2 1/2 feet high, 4 feet wide and 8 feet long. It has a 3-cubic-yard capacity and can hold up to 3,300 pounds of debris or waste. The Bagster is available in one size.

They both do not accept hazardous waste. 

Durability

While both can help you clear your home of clutter and unwanted items, they have different levels of durability.

The Bagster is a tarp-like material with handles. When you put items in the bag, you'll need to start filling it at the edges to help the bag keep its rectangular shape. You should also lay items down flat and not pile debris above the edges.

A dumpster is heavy-duty, allowing you to throw or carry items into the bin. So there's no need to lay items flat, as the dumpster is a hard metal and won't lose its shape.

Placement

You can put dumpsters and the Bagster on your driveway or yard (with some exceptions). If you want to put them on the street, you'll need to check with the city and ask about local regulations.

You can have the dumpster operator leave the rental in a convenient location on your property. Just avoid putting it on sloped surfaces, a neighbor's yard or soft ground. The operator will put boards under the bin to keep it from damaging your yard or driveway.

Since the Bagster is picked up by a crane on the WM truck, there are some placement requirements. The bag must be 5 feet away from structures or vehicles, have at least 18 feet of vertical clearance and be clear of overhead wires, trees or structures. You should also avoid putting it on sloped surfaces.

Turnaround Time

Another difference between the two disposal methods is the pickup schedule.

With a dumpster rental, you can schedule an exact date and time for the operator to pick up the bin. You don't have to be home when they come.

Waste Management will pick the Bagster up within three business days from when you call to schedule the pickup. Their collections are made Monday to Friday from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Bottom Line

You need to know what your project will require — from the amount of material you'll have to how quickly you want it picked up — before deciding between the Bagster vs. dumpster rental.

If you don't have much to throw out and you plan to work on the project for an extended or an unknown amount of time, the Bagster might be the best choice since the price is the same no matter how long you keep it (you pay for the Bagster and then for its pickup).

On the other hand, if you have a lot of items to dispose of and want a set pickup date, you'll need a dumpster to hold all of the materials. You also won't have to worry about not being able to fit all of your items in the bin if you end up with more than first expected.

If you decide a dumpster rental makes the most sense for your next project, contact your local franchise operator, and they'll get everything set up for you.

Need to get rid of your old mattress?

Do you ever see mattresses discarded on a street corner or dumped by the side of the road? Why do people do this?  Probably because they can be difficult to dispose of, sometimes costly, or people are just not sure what to do with them. Some states even have laws preventing them from ending up in landfills.

                                           

With up to 20 million mattresses and box springs disposed of each year there is a need to deter them from landfills and to recycle them.  Each mattress/box spring has over 80% of recyclable materials, there is not much that can’t be recycled. These are:

• Fabric - Is sometimes already made of recycled material and can be recycled again for mattresses or other industries (clothing, insulation).
• Springs and metal - Can be melted and recycled for numerous applications.
• Foam - Is chopped up and used in padding (floor, sound, etc)
• Wood - Is recycled in pulp for paper, fuel, mulch, boxes, and much much more.

Now you are asking how do I get rid of this darn thing!  Well, there are a couple of options:

• The company you bought your new mattress through will sometimes dispose of your old one for free or a small fee.
• Dispose of it yourself.  Call your local city hall or transfer station to see if they accept them or if they recycle them.  Cost should run anywhere from $10 to $30 per mattress/box spring.
• Sell it on Craigslist, Letgo, a Facebook sale site, or any other outlet.
• Donate it. This probably will take a lot of time, but call around to organizations who might have a need for something like this.  Some ideas:  Goodwill, Salvation Army, halfway houses, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and  thrift/consignment stores.  Some states have laws against resale of used mattress.
• Some areas have companies that deal only will mattress recycling. Try Googling mattress recycler.
• A majority of junk removal companies will remove and dispose of it (or any other junk).  The pros are you don't have to do much physical labor, but the con is that it will cost you approximately $100 to dispose off.
• Rent a dumpster.  If you have a bunch of other debris to dispose of this would be the economical way, but make sure you check first with the company to see if they will take them and if so is there any additional charge.
• Check out Earth911.com. This is a site where you can type in your zip code and find resources for disposing of certain items locally.
