What Can And Can’t Go In Dumpsters

When
conducting a renovation project or clean out, many homeowners rent a
dumpster in order to accommodate the large amounts of waste.
Unfortunately, many of them are under the false impression that they
can simply put anything they want in these dumpsters and it will be
collected.
While
dumpsters are an appropriate solution for most of your garbage, there
are certain items which are prohibited. In this article, the junk
removal experts at 866 We Junk It will clear up any misconceptions
about what can and can’t go in your rental dumpster.

What CAN’T Go In Your
Rental Dumpster

For the
most part, anything that is harmful to the environment can’t go in
your rental dumpster. These include toxic chemicals and other
hazardous materials. You will need to find another way to dispose of
these items safely. Prohibited items which fall under this category
include:
  • Electronics
  • Batteries
  • Paints
    and solvents
  • Asbestos
  • Chemicals
  • Medical
    waste

What CAN Go In Your
Rental Dumpster

Just
about anything not listed above is safe to go in your rental
dumpster. This includes:
  • Soil,
    dirt, and sand
  • Branches,
    shrubs, and other landscape waste
  • Concrete
  • Wood,
    tiles, dry wall, and other clean materials from construction
    projects
  • Roofing
    shingles
  • Scrap
    metals
  • Furniture
  • Paper
    products
  • General
    garbage from around the house

3 Reasons Why Winter is the Best Time to Clean Out Your Garage

Have
you been putting off cleaning your garage? Well, there is no time
like the present, and that is especially true during the winter
months. Read below to learn why the wintertime is the perfect time to
get your garage straightened out.

Protect Your Car

If you
live in a cold climate, such as New York, snow is nothing new to you.
Unfortunately, our cars don’t take too well to winter weather, as it
can cause your battery to freeze, tires to deflate, and paint to
fade. One way to avoid these problems is by storing your car in the
garage to shelter it from these harsh conditions, which you can’t do
if it is filled with junk.

It’s Winter-Friendly

Let’s
face it: there’s not a whole lot of home improvement and cleaning
projects that you can do in the winter. Luckily, cleaning your garage
doesn’t require you to go outside, so you can still do it even when
the weather outside is frightful.

Get a Head Start On
Spring Cleaning

By the
time spring rolls around, most of us have a cleaning list that is a
mile long. By being proactive and taking the time to clean out your
garage now, you will have one less thing to do when it is time to
start your spring cleaning.
If you
have a lot to clean out of your garage, you may need a dumpster to
hold all of your junk. If you live in New York City, Nassau County,
or Suffolk County, 1-866-We-Junk-It can accommodate. We offer
affordable rental dumpsters and junk removal services to Long Island
and NYC. Call 866-935-8654 for a free quote.

4 Snow Day Home Improvement Projects

Winter
came a little late to Long Island this year, but it’s definitely here
now. After a blizzard last month and a couple small storms since,
Nassau and Suffolk County residents can prepare for even more snow
this week.
Snowy
days don’t mean you should spend the whole time sitting on your
couch, though. Turn your snow day into a go day with these four home
improvement project ideas:

Paint

Painting a room can be a long, tedious job – which is why a snow
day is the perfect excuse to get it done. Just make sure to gather
your supplies a day or two ahead of time, unless you already have
extra unopened paint cans lying around.

Create

The internet is FULL of DIY craft ideas. A quick search on Google or
Pinterest can easily keep you occupied for an entire snow day, if not
several. Turn that antique in the attic into a decorative
masterpiece, or upcycle a piece of junk into something useful. The
possibilities are endless.

Clean

If you are going to be stuck inside for the entire day, don’t you at
least want to be stuck somewhere clean? Clean the bathroom, under you
bed, the hallway closet, or dust and vacuum the house like you have
been meaning to do for the past two months.

Organize

There’s a fine line between cleaning and organizing, but you can’t go
wrong with either when you are snowed in. We all have that one junk
drawer that could stand to be straightened out, or maybe you suddenly
need a map to find the food in your refrigerator. Whatever it is that
you want to organize, pick it and get going!
If you have any upcoming projects that will generate lots of garbage,
866-We-Junk-It is here to help. We offer dumpster rentals and junk
removal services to Long Island, Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and
Queens. We always arrive on time, and leave the job site cleaner than
we found it. Visit our website for a free quote, or call us at
