When to Rent a Dumpster for Home Projects

Many spring cleaning projects can easily be handled by your regular curbside pickup service. But for the complete overhauls of overly packed attics, basements, and living spaces, a 20-yard dumpster rental is ideal. Whether you’re preparing a home to sell, getting ready for a renovation, or simply making a change, Independent Waste is your partner in waste removal.

DIY remodels can be incredibly rewarding, but of course, they make a lot of debris. Temporary roll-off dumpsters make sense when you need a place to store and dispose of bathroom and kitchen tiles, old plumbing fixtures and materials, cabinetry, countertops, non-electronic appliances, and more. We can scale to the size of any remodeling project.

If you’re brave enough to take on roofing work on your own, you need a waste removal partner who can readily meet your needs. We always recommend 20-yard dumpsters for projects involving roofing shingles (asphalt, clay, slate, or metal), flashing, gutters, and other heavy materials. Whether you need one dumpster or multiple, trust our team to set you up for success.

20-yard dumpsters are ideal for projects involving large amounts of tree limbs, dirt, shrubs, and more that can’t be picked up by your residential waste management company. Do note that we cannot accept contaminated soils. Signs that your soil may be contaminated include patches of discolored soil, unpleasant odors, inability to grow plants or grass, multiple unexplained holes or dips in the yard, or a known presence of contaminated water.

After a fire, flood, or severe weather event, homeowners are often left with soggy building materials, tree limbs, shingles, siding, and more on their property. While your weekly trash removal service may take care of tree limbs, they often won’t accept larger items like wet carpeting, tree stumps, and more. A roll-off dumpster can help you clean up quickly and efficiently.
