Renting a Roll-Off Dumpster to Make Summer Renovations Easy

The summer is a great time of year to work on your home projects. Renting a roll-off dumpster from Panhandle Dumpsters can help you get your project done quickly and efficiently.

If you’ve been looking at any part of your home and are ready to take the plunge and renovate, you may be wondering how you’ll manage all the trash that goes along with your project. Renting a large roll-off dumpster to collect all the rubbish headed for disposal is easy, efficient, and a time saver.

What Are the Advantages of Roll-Off Dumpster Rental?

If you’ve ever tackled a project, no matter the size, you probably remember how quickly rubbish accumulates.

By renting a roll-off dumpster, you can save yourself the stress of having piles of trash around. Instead, throw it all into the dumpster and keep your project mess-free. 

A dumpster rental will also save you time. Don’t spend your Saturday morning hauling trash to the landfill. Fill up your dumpster, and Panhandle Dumpsters will haul it away for you.

Piles of Trash | Roll-Off Dumpster | Panhandle Dumpsters

How Does Dumpster Rental Work?

When you need a roll-off dumpster, odds are your trash removal company has them available for rent.

At Panhandle Dumpsters, we make it easy and convenient to rent one of our roll-off dumpsters. You can choose the days you’ll need the dumpster and the times for drop off and pick up. 

If you fill up your dumpster and still have rubbish, we’ll haul away the full dumpster and bring you an empty one.

How Are Roll-Off Dumpster Rentals Priced?

For typical dumpster rentals, the cost is based partly on the size and partly on the amount of trash being disposed of.

We offer a 30-yard dumpster suitable for most home renovation projects. 

We offer a flat rental rate that includes up to three tons of trash. Then there’s a price per additional ton after that if it’s necessary.

How Much Rubbish Does a Roll-Off Dumpster Hold?

To give you an idea of what a typical dumpster holds, we can estimate it in terms of everyday waste-removal techniques you may be more familiar with.

A 30-yard roll-off dumpster can hold about 10 to 12 pickup truck loads or 180 trash bags holding around 30 gallons each.

That’s enough room for all of your old furniture, appliances, flooring materials and carpeting, busted-up drywall, and much more.

How Do I Prepare for My Roll-Off Dumpster Delivery?

You’ll need to make sure that you have a flat area large enough to fit your roll-off dumpster, like a driveway or section of the yard.

Be sure the path to where your rental will be placed is clear. On delivery day, be sure to move any vehicles a safe distance from the area to allow enough room for the dumpster to be dropped off.

Do I Need to Be On-Site When My ROll-Off Dumpster Arrives?

You don’t necessarily have to be home when your handy dumpster gets delivered to you. When you schedule your rental, you can specify where you want the dumpster parked.

How Do I Work Easily With My Dumpster When It's Here?

Once your roll-off dumpster has been successfully delivered, you can start filling it up.

One side of the dumpster should open to allow you to easily add your rubbish. To maximize your space, put items to the far end of the dumpster and work your way forward.

How Long Do I Have to Fill Up the Dumpster?

You can choose how long you have the roll-off dumpster.

For smaller projects, you may only need it for a day or two. For larger projects, you may need it for a week or longer. When scheduling your dumpster, you can give an estimate of the length of time you’ll need the dumpster.

Renting a roll-off dumpster can help make your renovation project a breeze. With easy scheduling options and spacious dumpsters, you can leave the stress of rubbish removal to the pros.

Declutter Your House in 6 Easy Steps

Cluttered Room | Declutter Your House | Panhandle Dumpsters

There’s nothing worse than walking into your home only to realize there is unwanted clutter everywhere. When it’s time to declutter, it’s all about strategy. Settle in for some great tips and tricks to declutter and get back to enjoying your space.

Get Prepared

When it’s time to declutter a tiny trash can kicked away in the corner of the room isn’t quite going to cut it.

For serious declutter, you’ll need some good tools before you start. Trash bags are a necessity and you’ll probably want to go with a stronger brand so that they don’t break when you’re tossing in heavier objects. 

Several large trash cans will come in handy as well. If you’re throwing away large items, or have a lot of trash, it may be beneficial to rent a roll-off dumpster instead. Gloves are another great tool to have on hand… pun intended, to keep your hands protected as you’re cleaning.

Trash Bags | Declutter Your House | Panhandle Dumpsters

Start With The Worst Room

Motivation can be a challenge when you start to declutter, so start with the most cluttered room first. Take the room section by section and start sorting through all your stuff.

Pick a Corner

When you’re decluttering, it’s easy to get distracted before you’re finished and move on to another area.

When tackling a room, start at one corner, and slowly work your way around the perimeter. Once you’re finished with the perimeter, work your way in towards the middle.

Three-Box System

When you’re tackling clutter, take this opportunity to decide what you want to keep and what goes.

Sort everything into three boxes; keep, sell or donate, and throw away.

Sort Through What Can Be Sold

A fun part of decluttering is finding items you no longer need and are in good condition to sell.

An easy place to start is a garage sale. Set up some tables and lay everything out with prices attached.

If a garage sale isn’t your style, plenty of online sites allow you to list your items for sale. Sites like eBay, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace are great places to start. 

For items that you don’t sell but are in good condition, donate them to your local charity or shelter. Items like old blankets or pillows that probably can’t be taken by a charity can be donated to your local animal shelter.

Get Organized

Organized Room | Declutter Your House | Panhandle Dumpsters

To maintain a clutter-free space, make sure everything in your “keep” box has a place.

Throwing things randomly back in your closet or your room can leave you in the same place you started in, so it’s important to organize. Dressers, desks, and bookshelves can be great for organizing all of your stuff.

Everyone has items they want to keep for seasonal or sentimental reasons. Grab a couple of totes and designate space in a closet or basement to stow away seasonal and sentimental items.

Taking Out The Trash

Moving on to the “throw-away” box, you’re going to need a safe and reliable way to dispose of everything.

This is where a residential roll-off dumpster can come in handy. If you have a large amount of trash or are disposing of large items, a dumpster can haul everything away in one easy trip. 

Put smaller items into trash bags before putting them in the dumpster. This makes sorting and disposing of the trash easier once the dumpster is taken to the landfill. Large items, like household appliances or desks, can be placed directly in the dumpster.

Keep the Trashman in Mind

When you declutter smaller areas of the house, you may not require a dumpster.

However, you’re inevitably going to have trash. If you find yourself with a larger amount of trash than your weekly trash service typically picks up, be sure to let them know ahead of time. Many trash service companies offer a bulk pick-up option once a month. 

Trash companies may also charge extra fees if you have excess trash outside of your trash can. Before starting a declutter project, contact your trash service company to find out the best way to dispose of your trash.

Decluttering your house is a great way to get your space back, donate to local charities, and make a little bit of money. Whether you’re tackling the whole house or a specific room, using the strategies above can make the process easier and faster.

What to Know Before Renting a Dumpster

Yellow Dumpster | Dumpster Rental | Panhandle Dumpsters

Renting a roll-off dumpster can be a fantastic way to dispose of unwanted items, yard trash, and construction debris when remodeling or relocating, or even when you’re in the middle of some intense spring cleaning. But do you know where to rent one or what to consider when deciding on a rental? Read on for some things you should consider when renting a roll-off trash container.

Why Should I Consider Renting a Dumpster?

Sometimes we have more trash or different kinds of trash than weekly garbage service handles.

Regular weekly garbage service was designed to address everyday household rubbish needs and may limit the amount of trash allowed to be collected at each pickup. There are also usually rules about what type of materials can be placed into your normal trash bins, such as construction materials or yard debris.

Whether tackling projects, remodeling, moving, or spring cleaning, renting a large waste container can help and may prove much cheaper in the long run. They can also be a great way to have whole-neighborhood clean outs with one centralized container, encouraging a clean neighborhood and creating a sense of community.

Dumpster Truck | Dumpster Rental | Panhandle Dumpsters

How Much Will Rental Cost?

Rental prices for roll-off dumpsters can vary greatly depending on the size of the container, how much trash you will be disposing of, how long you will need it, and where you need it.

Panhandle Dumpsters offers a 30-yard roll-off container that’s suited for almost all household or commercial purposes.

If you fill up your dumpster before the end of your project, we’ll bring you an empty dumpster and haul the full one away. 

What Items Are Allowed in a Roll-Off Dumpster?

Most household items such as mattresses, furniture, toys, clothes, books, rugs, etc., are okay to be discarded in your dumpster.

Most remodeling and landscaping debris, such as carpet, tile, drywall, and plaster, may also be discarded in a roll-off dumpster, but some construction materials could be considered hazardous.

What Items Shouldn't Go in a Roll-Off Dumpster?

Although it can be tempting to throw all your waste into a roll-off dumpster, some hazardous items need to be disposed of properly.


Any hazardous items, such as batteries, electronics, and automotive fluids, should never be discarded in a roll-off dumpster or regular trash can. Medical fluids, paint thinners, laquears, tires and adhesives are also prohibited items. If you are unsure how to properly dispose of an item, review the West Virginia Recycling Directory for more information.

Things To Consider

While renting a roll-off dumpster is a pretty straightforward process, there are a few things to consider to make ordering and delivery simple and to save on the rental cost.

Dumpster size

Before placing your rental order, you should consider what project you are working on and how much debris will result.

Larger projects may require multiple dumpsters or extended rental period.  Panhandle Dumpsters offers roll-off dumpster rentals that are the perfect size for most residential and commercial projects.

If you fill your dumpster up before your project is over, we’ll bring you an empty dumpster an haul your full one away.

Rental Duration​

The duration of your project can be a determining factor in the price of your rental.

It’s a good rule of thumb to have an approximate idea of how long your project will take and when you will need the dumpster.

Waiting to have your dumpster delivered until you need it is a great way to save some money. If you are unsure exactly when or how long you need the dumpster, Panhandle Dumpsters has flexible scheduling for delivery and pickup days that fit your needs.

Dumpster Placement

Another important thing to consider when renting a roll-off dumpster is where it will be placed.

You want to ensure that you have adequate space for the dumpster and that it will not be located in an area that is difficult to remove or will cause damage to your property.

You may choose your driveway, parking lot, or even a grassy location. Ensure that the area is accessible for delivery of the dumpster and is free from objects that could get in the way. You also want to make sure that there are no tree limbs or overhead lines that could potentially cause delivery problems as well.

Who to Rent a Dumpster From

Just as you are responsible for ensuring you dispose of waste properly, so is the company in which you’re renting the dumpster.

You want to make sure you use a reputable company that puts the planet over profits, invests in eco-friendly equipment and sustainable practices as much as possible, and puts their community at the forefront of everything they do.

When you might need a Dumpster

Spring Cleaning

It’s very easy, especially with kids, pets, and years in the same home, to accumulate a lot of stuff.

Many of us dedicate a time of the year to go through our homes and clean everything out, often resulting in extra household items and trash that is more than normal trash pickup can handle.

When you rent a roll-off container, you can get all your spring cleaning and home purging done efficiently and stress-free.

Packing Boxes | Dumpster Rental | Panhandle Dumpsters

Moving

Whether renting or buying a new home, moving can be a great time to downsize and get rid of unwanted or unused items.

Moving can be stressful, and dealing with the mountain of garbage or large household items you no longer need during a move can feel daunting. With a dumpster rental, you won’t have to worry about hauling off that bulky mattress or broken dresser.

Women with Boxes | Dumpster Rental | Panhandle Dumpsters

Remodeling

Clutter can pile up quickly when tackling a home remodel job, and the cost of hauling off debris from your projects can add up even quicker.

As fun as remodeling your home and seeing the fruits of your labors may be, figuring out what to do with the mess during and after renovations isn’t exactly what most people consider fun.

When you decide to rent a roll-off dumpster, you only have to focus on the important stuff, like what color you want to paint your new bathroom.

Neighborhood Clean-Up

What better way to teach children about community responsibilities while beautifying your homes and streets than a neighborhood clean-up?

More and more communities are organizing streets, parks, landscaping, and community area clean-ups, as well as the inside and outsides of homes, garages, and yards.

While neighborhood cleaning events can be excellent for creating a sense of community, it also results in a lot of rubbish. Having a centralized commercial roll-off dumpster is a perfect way to allow everyone in the neighborhood a place to discard the mess.

Renting a roll-off dumpster is an excellent way to tackle home improvement or remodeling projects, get rid of old junk while spring cleaning, discard unneeded, bulky furniture when moving, or organize a neighborhood clean-up event without the worry of removing the debris.

8 Things To Know About Waste Removal

Did you know that almost every community in the United States has some sort of waste removal service? Whether it is a municipal program or a private company, someone is responsible for getting rid of your rubbish. At Panhandle Dumpsters we proudly offer an alternative option to trash collection with eco-friendly garbage trucks that not only take away trash quieter but do so safely and efficiently. Here’s what you should know about trash removal.

Professional Waste Removal Is Important

Removing waste is the process of collecting and disposing of solid items, including garbage, refuse, and other unwanted materials.

The need for trash removal arises from the fact that solid waste can pose a health and safety hazard if it is not properly disposed of. Solid waste can also be a visual eyesore, which is why many people opt for trash removal services.

In addition to health and safety concerns, waste removal is also important for aesthetic reasons. No one wants to live in an area that is littered with trash and debris. Therefore, waste removal is essential for maintaining a clean and safe environment. By hiring a professional trash removal company, you can rest assured that your solid waste will be collected and disposed of safely and efficiently.

There Are Items You Should Never Throw in Your Trash

Many people don’t realize that certain items should never be thrown in the trash. These items can cause serious harm to the environment and public health.

Hazardous materials like oil, paint, chemicals, and batteries can leak and contaminate other items in the trash, and they can also be dangerous to waste removal workers.

Electronic waste like computers, TVs, and cell phones, should not be thrown in the trash. These devices contain harmful chemicals that can leach into the ground if they’re not disposed of properly. Finally, bulky Items including furniture, and mattresses, should also not be thrown in the trash. These items take up a lot of landfill space and can be difficult to recycle. Instead of throwing these items in the trash, you should hire a professional service to remove and dispose of them properly.

There Are Benefits to Using a Professional Waste Removal Company

Waste management is an important but often overlooked part of running a home or even a business.

Not only does it ensure that harmful materials are disposed of safely, but it also helps to keep things clean and organized. A professional waste removal service can provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of exposing loved ones or employees to hazardous materials and minimizing the spread of disease.

Additionally, a professional service can help to save time and money by optimizing waste removal procedures. In many cases, businesses are required to pay fees for disposing of waste, and professional services can often negotiate better rates. A professional service can provide peace of mind by handling all the details of waste disposal, allowing business owners to focus on more important matters.

There Are Different Types of Services

There are many different types of waste removal services available, and the most appropriate service will depend on the type and volume of waste to be removed.

For example, general trash removal companies will typically collect household waste such as food scraps, paper waste, and packaging, while construction trash removal companies will focus on larger items such as bricks and concrete.

Other specialist services include medical trash removal, which requires trained staff to handle hazardous materials, and e-waste service, which deals with electronic items that contain harmful chemicals. Ultimately, there are a variety of options available when it comes to waste removal, and the best option will depend on the specific needs of the customer.

It's Important To Read Your Contract

To make the transaction between you and the waste removal company go smoothly, you must know the ins and outs of your contract.

It’s important to understand that when you sign up for a rubbish removal service, you’re entering into an agreement. Whatever is agreed upon in the original contract must be completed, no more, no less.

Contracts can be tricky sometimes, and its best to clearly understand what duties the waste removal company will perform. For example, what days of the week will the service pick up your garbage? What time of day will they come? How much will they charge for their services? Next time you’re signing up for a rubbish removal service, make sure you take the time to read the contract first.

Find the Right Service for Your Budget

Finding the right waste removal service for your budget shouldn’t be overlooked.

There are many factors to consider, including frequency of service and type of waste. Waste removal services can vary widely in price, so it’s important to find one that fits your financial needs. Taking the time to find the right fit can save you money and hassle in the long run.

Remember that cheaper is not always better – in some cases, it may be worth paying a bit more for a quality service. Next, think about the frequency of service you need. If you produce a lot of waste, you’ll need a service that can come more often. On the other hand, if you have a small amount of waste, you may be able to get by with less frequent service.

Your Waste Can Be Disposed of in a Responsible Manner

Paper Waste | Waste Removal | Panhandle Dumpsters

Many waste removal companies are moving toward environmentally friendly practices.

These companies will come to your home or office, pick up your unwanted items, and responsibly dispose of them. This is a great way to reduce your environmental impact and declutter your space at the same time.

Check to see if your trash company recycles or takes hazardous materials. If they don’t offer additional services outside of typical trash removal, you can research local resources that will properly dispose of hazardous materials and recyclables. If you have questions about proper disposal of batteries, oil, paint, tires, or other items, review the West Virginia Recycling Directory for more information.

How To Choose Waste Removal Services

Many companies provide professional and residential trash pickup services; however, make sure you understand if a company specializes in one over the other.

Research the companies in your area to find the best service for your needs. Consider the type of waste you will need removed, additional services like recycling and bulk removal, and cost when researching companies.

It’s also important to consider a company’s reputation. Are they reliable and dependable when it comes to waste removal? Make a list of the most important items for your waste removal and find a company that aligns with what you need.

How Trash Removal Will Benefit Your Business’ Bottom Line

Trash Removal Service | | Panhandle Dumpsters

Trash removal isn’t the most glamorous part of your business, but it’s one of the most important. The effects of excess trash can be detrimental, especially if the rubbish is visible to your customers, community, and potential business partners. Fortunately, there are often great options for trash removal that can save you time, money, and energy.

Why Use a Trash Removal Service for Your Business?

Whatever the size of your business, you’re inevitably going to produce rubbish. 

Choose the Option that Suits Your Business

We understand that not all businesses are the same. Likewise, not all businesses produce the same amount of rubbish.

Having different options available to fit individual needs is just one of the ways Panhandle Dumpsters sets apart from other companies. If you run a small business that doesn’t produce a lot of waste, we have weekly trash pickup service. This inexpensive options will save you from having to pay for a commercial dumpster that would likely take you weeks to fill up completely.

Alternatively, weekly trash pickup may not be the best option if you’re a business that produces lots of trash. Instead of being subject to additional fees for excess trash, a commercial dumpster rental might be the better option. We drop off the dumpster for the time you need it and haul it away once the dumpster is filled up.

You can opt for a hybrid if you don’t typically produce a lot of trash, but will have extra due to a one off project. And we offer once a month bulk-pick up free of charge for the occasional large items. The flexibility of choosing the best option for your business’ needs allows you to save money and keep your bottom line in the green.

Reduce Legal Fees and Fines

Every business owner knows that keeping their space tidy is important, but the effect of excess trash is often underestimated by many.

Not only will trash in and around your building deter customers from coming in, which lowers your profits, but it could also pose a health hazard. You may find yourself with a fine due to health concerns if you fail to remove it from promptly. 

A trash removal service takes the stress out of disposing of your rubbish by ensuring your trash is disposed on in the proper manner according to the laws and regulations of your area. This can be particularly important for job sites that produce large amount of trash or hazardous waste. Fees, fines, and litigation can eat into your profit margin and cause damage to your business’ reputation. Something that seems small can have a big impact your bottom line.

Boost Business and the Environment

More and more people, especially those from younger generations, are becoming concerned about the environment.

For this reason, showing that you are doing all you can to reduce your business’s carbon footprint is more important than ever. Not only will this benefit the environment, but it will keep your community clean as well. After all, you don’t want the community you live and work in to deteriorate, right? The more people in your area that see you’re making an effort to take care of the community, the more they will go to your business when they need your particular services. 

At Panhandle Dumpsters, we strive to keep our community clean while being environmentally friendly. All our trucks are eco-friendly to reduce pollution when picking up trash and we’ve optimized all of our routes the limit the amount of gas we use.

We can also help you make sure that all your trash is disposed of correctly. If you’re not certain what can be recycled or where to take an item not suitable for the regular trash, you can speak to our helpful team members for tips on local resources available in our area.

Improve Efficiency and Save Money

A clean working environment improves concentration, satisfaction, and efficiency.

All of this translates to a better job done by your team members. Additionally, by partnering with a trash removal service, you free your team up to do the job you actually want to be paying them to do. A trash removal service is also largely cheaper than hauling rubbish away yourselves since it can cost up to $50 per ton of waste for disposal, depending on your area.

Take Advantage of Discounts

Some trash removal companies may offer discounts for military members, first responders, or  senior citizens.

If you or your business partner belong to one of these groups, you might be able to access trash removal services for an even lower rate. If your area has more than one trash removal service, ask around to see if you qualify for a discount.

At Panhandle Dumpsters, we support members of the military, first responders, and senior citizens by offering them a 5% discount on our services. Be sure to mention this to us when you sign up, so we can apply the discount.

There are several reasons why you should consider hiring trash removal services for your business. A good trash removal company can offer you a good price point, consistent service, and an environmentally friendly solution. By working with a trash removal service, you can show your customer base that you are putting the local and global community first. With Panhandle Dumpsters, you can choose from a weekly trash pickup or a commercial roll-off dumpster.

How Tracking Waste Can Help Your Business and Why It’s Important

Business Graph | Tracking Waste | | Panhandle Dumpsters

Waste is produced almost every time something is created. This is true in virtually every industry, including manufacturing, construction, accommodation, agriculture, food service, and entertainment. No matter what type of business you run, it’s likely that you’ll produce trash that has to be disposed of. Waste tracking is one of the best ways to minimize the impact of your rubbish and reduce the quantity over time.

Now that environmental concerns are becoming more and more urgent, everyone must work together and reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills. When you track your trash with the help of forms, digital tracking tools, and the stats from your rubbish removal company, you get a better overview of the situation. This allows you to make the necessary changes and improve your firm’s efficiency.

What Is Waste Tracking?

Every company should track the waste they produce during manufacturing, transport, and sales.

This makes it easier to manage and reduce trash. In the past, tracking waste was mainly used to determine where materials should go once they are no longer useful. But nowadays, the process is becoming more and more important because it helps companies around the country improve their energy efficiency.

When you know what type of waste is produced at which stage of your operations, you can work towards better solutions. For instance, you can buy fewer materials during slower times, donate instead of throwing items away, or fine-tune your machines so that they use your resources more effectively. This benefits you, your local community, and the wider environment.

Trash Can | Tracking Waste | Panhandle Dumpsters

What Are the Benefits of Tracking Waste?

There are various reasons why tracking waste is crucial for businesses.

You might have neglected tracking waste in the past to save costs; however, this is a false economy. Tracking waste production shows where improvements can be made, allowing you to optimize your resources and reduce costs at every step of your process.

Environmental

In recent years, it has become more and more obvious that we have to change the way we operate if we want to avoid destroying our planet.

One of the major issues is waste. When packaging materials, one-use cutlery and cups, styrofoam products, food waste clothes, electronics, and many other items are thrown away, the environment is being polluted and potentially endangering communities around the world.

What’s more, when items are produced, they use valuable resources like water, land, machinery, and time – just to name a few – that all cost money. Without properly tracking waste, not only is the environment being affected, but so is the cost of the item being produced. As more items are tossed into the landfill instead of being recycled, repurposed or reused, the cost to produce more increases.

Financial

The items you throw away might not seem to have any value but a portion of the money spent on that item is being thrown away, too.

For example, a restaurant could track its food waste to see what percentage of food gets thrown out. If they are throwing out 50% of food as waste, they are essentially throwing away half their money. In this case, the restaurant can consider ordering smaller quantities more frequently, changing recipes, or using ingredients in a different way.

No matter what your business produces, tracking waste can help you figure out how much material, and in turn money, is being thrown away. Once this number is known, strategies such as recovery or repurpose of materials and employee training can be implemented to reduce waste.

How to Best Track Waste

Now you understand why waste needs to be tracked, you might wonder how to best do this.

If you’ve never tracked your company’s waste, start small and work your way to larger parts of production. Dockets or forms, online software, and even your trash removal company can help you track waste.

Docket or Form​

Traditionally, firms used a physical docket or form to track waste from raw materials and finished products.

This can be filled out by team members and then reviewed through the proper channels to implement changes. If you don’t yet have a form set up, you can find many templates online, or you can build your own.

Some important categories to include on the form are the company name, waste origin location, classification, time collected, material weight, and disposal location. You can also add other categories specific to your industry to effectively track the waste produced. Most importantly, you should make sure your form is understood and used consistently by all team members.

Digital Tracking Tool

Lots of companies are now using digital tracking tools for their waste in an effort to reduce the amount of paper waste from a physical form.

Digital tracking tools can be filled out and shared with other employees in real-time. Even if your team members are onsite, you can oversee the waste production and disposal process from your office.

Countless software companies can help you track your materials and your trash. Most of them offer a free trial, so you can see whether their system works well for your firm.

Finding out how much waste you’re producing is only the first step.

However, many businesses implement ideas such as donating their surplus, reusing or repurposing materials, and training their employees on efficiency.

Five Tips For Yard Waste Disposal

Bag of Leaves | Yard Waste Disposal | Panhandle Dumpsters

If you are eco-conscious, you’re probably interested in reducing your carbon footprint for the planet. A great way to do this is to learn about the ways you can properly dispose of your residential yard waste. While you know about reusing and recycling household items, you may be at a loss about what to do with your yard waste. Fortunately, there are several tips and tricks you can use to help the planet by handling yard waste properly.

Use Compost Trash Bags for Yard Waste

If you need to gather your yard or garden waste for disposal, you may want to consider using compost trash bags.

Compost trash bags are usually made with organic plant material that will break down along with the waste in the bag. This is an eco-friendly option to handle big jobs. Compost trash bags can be bought online or at home improvement stores.

You may be able to find a community collection site for yard waste. Some cities and towns may have bi-weekly or monthly collection sites. Compost trash bags can be used and collection sites make for easy disposal. 

Consider a Compost Pile for Yard Waste

Instead of removing yard waste, it’s possible to reuse it in a way that will give back to the environment, like building a compost pile.

Compost piles are a good way to naturally get rid of yard waste. If you garden or want to further separate your food waste such as eggshells and coffee grounds, composing is a great option.

By adding yard waste to your compost pile, you will be able to use an effective, eco-friendly waste management method.

Compost | Yard Waste Disposal | Panhandle Dumpsters

The Best Compost Set Up

There are several ways you can set up a compost pile. The easiest and most effective is to build or purchase a large wooden crate that is at least three by three feet.

The wooden crate will hold all of your compost materials, such as grass clippings, branches, leaves, certain types of food waste, dirt, and more. Ideally, you want to set up your compost pile as far away from your house as possible, so the backyard is often a good choice.

How to Speed Up Your Compost

A compost pile works by gradually breaking down organic material into nutrient-dense soil that you can repurpose in other areas of your yard or garden.

In general, it usually takes about six to 12 months for any waste put into a compost pile to break down sufficiently. You can speed up your compost pile by ensuring that the pile is kept moist. Diversifying your compost can also speed up the process, as food waste will all cause faster decomposition.

Try Safe Burning

You may also want to try safe, controlled burning as permitted by your county.

Burning yard waste can be a convenient method of removal if you don’t have a compost pile and can’t arrange for a bulk pickup. 

If you’re trying the safe burning method, be sure to look up the best way as to minimize your impact on the environment.

The ash from burned yard waste will have essential nutrients that can benefit any plants you have in your yard. You can add the ash to a compost pile,  spread it through your garden, or mix it into the soil for indoor plants.

Leave Grass Clippings Alone

One of the biggest activities that generate a large amount of yard waste is grass clippings from mowing your lawn.

Many lawn mowers are built with an automatic collector, such as a bag attached to the lawnmower. This may not be the best way to handle your grass clippings. Grass clippings are a good source of natural nutrients, such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide. 

You can use the nutrients that come from the decomposition of your grass clippings to encourage the growth of new grass. For optimal results, taller grass should be mowed over twice and clumps of grass should be raked over to reduce damage to your lawn.

Reuse Yard Waste

If composting isn’t your thing, you can also think about reusing certain types of yard waste.

In particular, there are two ways that you can reuse wood. You can use a wood chipper to create mulch for your garden, flower beds, or children’s play areas.

Larger pieces of wood can be reused as firewood for your fireplace or bonfire. You can even use small to medium size branches as kindling.

Panhandle Pick-Up Rules

It’s important to know the rules of your residential waste service.

Using compost trash bags may only be an option if your residential pickup service offers the removal of yard waste. If your residential pickup service does not offer this option, then you may need a different solution for handling waste from your yard.

Why Roll-Off Dumpsters Are a Good Idea

At Panhandle Dumpsters, our regular trash pickup does not support the removal of yard waste and it is against the policy of the trash collection service to throw yard waste away with regular trash.

That said, one of the best options to remove yard waste from your home is to rent a roll-off dumpster, or schedule a bulk pickup.

Both of these options are a good way to get rid of large amounts of waste at one time. You can even organize a neighborhood cleanup project to remove waste from the neighborhood and make the most of your roll-off dumpster. This can be a good option to use after storms or the winter, which is typically when larger amounts of yard waste are produced.

Getting rid of yard waste is a little more complicated than sorting other types of rubbish. While it’s easy to separate food waste from recyclables, getting rid of yard waste often has special rules from your residential trash pickup service. Some ways you may handle yard waste can include creating a compost pile, finding a community collection site, or reusing your yard waste for your garden.

Choose the Best Trash Bag for Your Needs

Trash Bags | West Virginia Trash Service | Panhandle Dumpsters

A trash bag is a trash bag, right? Not so fast. Although trash bags may all seem alike, different types of trash bags are designed for different types of trash. The best questions to ask when choosing a trash bag: What type of trash are you throwing away? Check out the best trash bags to use for your daily trash, yard waste, recycling, and more to streamline your trash collection routine.

Women Throwing Trash Away | West Virginia Trash Service | Panhandle Dumpsters

Chances are, you probably haven’t thought much about the type of trash bags you use for your everyday household waste.

The fact of the matter is that there are dozens of trash bags that are used for specific trash purposes. Color, thickness, stretchiness, odor control, and price are just some of the factors to consider when choosing your trash bag.

It’s important to use the correct trash bag in many circumstances, such as regular household waste versus collecting yard waste. This will help your local residential trash pick-up service correctly sort garbage.

The Regular Trash Bag

Regular trash bags are commonly used in the kitchen and tend to be between 10 and 20 gallons in size. They are sold in a variety of colors including white, black, grey, and clear. For the most part, regular trash bags can take care of most of your household needs.

Regular trash bags are likely the type you have been buying already. With these bags, you’ll be able to choose between drawstring, flap, or twist tie. You also have other options depending on the brand you buy. Some options include trash bags with stretch technology to prevent tearing and odor control .

The Heavy Duty Trash Bag

Heavy duty trash bags are typically sold in the color back used for heavy-duty and liquid waste. 

Heavier trash may break the thinner texture of regular trash bags. These trash bags are designed to manage large, heavy amounts of trash and are commonly used at construction sites and commercial kitchens. 

Heavy duty trash bags can also be used for residential use. Some may not realize that most liquid waste, like oil and grease, used oil, or hazardous liquids are supposed to be disposed in a heavy duty trash bag. Yard is also commonly disposed in heavy duty trash bags. Waste isn’t the only reason to use heavy duty trash bags. These can also be used for items that need to be kept clean in storage or for donation items during transport.

Recycling Trash Bag

Recycling trash bags are often seen in office or commercial settings, but can be used at home too. In general, there are two types of recycling trash bags that are used: green bags and blue bags. Green trash bags are most often used for paper recycling goods, including cardboard. Blue trash bags are typically used for glass and metal.

Depending on the rules of your residential trash pick-up service, it may be a good idea to separate your recyclable waste into different colored bags. This will help to ease the trash sorting process. Many people find that recycling trash bags are more convenient. They can help to sort recyclables along the way and keep your recycling trash cans clean.

Compost Trash Bag

Compost trash bags are commonly used in residential settings. These trash bags are typically green and made of compostable materials. This allows the trash to break down without adding pollution to the environment. If your home collects a lot of yard waste, then having compost trash bags is often a good idea.

Yard and kitchen waste, such as coffee grounds, peels or fruits and vegetables, and other compostable food waste can be added to a compost trash bag. Be sure to check with your residential trash pick-up service about adding food waste to your compost trash bags.

The Paper Trash Bag

Paper trash bags are also a good option for people who recycle often.

These trash bags are usually most appropriate for lightweight recyclable goods and some types of cardboard. However, these trash bags are not as durable as plastic and may be harder to come across. Be sure to check with your residential trash pickup company as some may not support the use of paper trash bags.

Small Trash Bags

Small trash bags may also be appropriate for your needs, especially for an at home office or bathrooms.

These trash bags are typically between two and six gallons and come in a variety of colors, scents, and closure types. Contrary to popular belief, you can usually throw small trash bags away individually as part of your residential trash pickup.

Odorless and Scented Trash Bags

Odorless and scented trash bags are additional options for regular trash bags. They are often a preference for many people to control odor.

An odorless trash bag will block any odors from escaping your trash can, which can be very helpful for bathroom and kitchen waste. You may also opt for scented trash bags to make trash collection a bit more pleasant. Usually, odorless and scented trash bags are accepted by residential trash pick-up services without any issues.

Where Should You Put Your Trash?

Yellow Trash Can | Trash Pickup Trash Service | Panhandle Dumpsters

Regardless of the type of trash bag used, you should always try to fit all trash into your trash can for pick-up.

Most residential trash cans are large enough to hold one to two weeks of garbage per household. If you have a compost or recyclable trash can, you should sort your trash into the correct can for residential pick-up.

Special Residential Trash Rules

Your residential trash pick-up service may have special rules that you need to follow if you have more trash than expected.

Your trash pick-up service may have additional charges for the collection of any bags that do not fit in their designated trash cans. This means you can set out several trash bags on your curb for trash pick-up, but you will likely be billed for the number of additional bags you have.

When To Not Use Trash Bags

There may be times when you are not allowed to use trash bags.

If you have rented a roll-away dumpster, there are special rules for these dumpsters that do not allow you to use any trash bags unless otherwise specified. By not using trash bags, you will simplify the sorting process for your trash pick-up service and avoid additional charges.

When it comes to selecting the best trash bag for your needs, pick the trash bag based on the type of waste you have. Most residential trash pick-up services appreciate proper garbage sorting, which means using the correct bags for certain trash. Recyclable bags should be used for recycling, heavy-duty trash bags should be used for heavy items and liquids, and regular trash bags should be used for everyday household waste.

Renting a Dumpster to Make Spring Cleaning Easy

Spring Cleaning Sign | Renting a Dumpster | Eastern Panhandle WV | Panhandle Dumpsters

The urge to spring clean comes on us all when the weather warms up.

If you’ve started an ambitious spring cleaning project, you might soon find that your regular trash removal service isn’t the best option to remove large amounts of waste and other junk. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there! Fortunately, you have the option of renting a roll-off dumpster to make your spring cleaning and other projects easier.

Renting a dumpster for your rubbish is one of many methods that can make spring projects easy. Along with taking the Marie Kondo approach to cleaning out your house, using a larger dumpster to haul away your unwanted items and other waste can be an excellent way to save time as you clean out your property, remove junk, and address other projects during the spring.

Why rent a dumpster?

Cardboard Trash | Renting a Dumpster | Eastern Panhandle WV | Panhandle Dumpsters

Versatility

One of the biggest benefits of renting a dumpster is the ability to throw away just about anything.

Regular rubbish removal services typically have several restrictions on the type of items that you can throw away. However, with a roll-off dumpster, you can throw away just about anything, including your yard junk, landscaping debris and cleanup, large items and appliances, and more.

Motivation

Renting a dumpster to remove unwanted items from your property can also serve as good motivation.

A roll-off dumpster is much larger than the typical trash can. With all the additional space, you may find motivation to tackle multiple projects that you may not have otherwise been able to complete.

For example, cleaning out several spaces in your home can be much easier to accomplish when all of your unwanted junk can be taken away at once. You may even be able to motivate your husband to clean out the garage.

Convenience

The convenience of renting a dumpster also means that you can take your time with your spring cleaning project.

With a roll-off dumpster from Panhandle Dumpsters, you can schedule your preferred pickup time and date so that you can complete your project on your schedule. This can take the pressure off of your spring cleaning goals and allows for more flexibility in all of your cleanup projects.

Budget-Friendly

Renting a dumpster can be budget-friendly, especially if you have a lot of extra rubbish.

Instead of spending money on additional trash cans you may not need again, fees for special item pickups, or even junk removal services, a dumpster can be a good way to save money. You can even go in on the price of a dumpster with neighbors so everyone can complete their projects together. Panhandle’s roll-off dumpsters start at $550 and includes up to three tons of rubbish. 

What Can You Throw Away?

There are several items that you can throw away during your spring cleaning with a roll-off dumpster. For example, if you come across clothing items that are not fit for being donated or sold to a thrift shop, you can use the roll-off dumpster. Other items you can throw away include:

House Items

Many of your everyday house items can be thrown away in a roll-off dumpster.

This includes appliances such as refrigerators, large-scale freezers, televisions, and other electronics. You can throw away virtually any of your household items, like plates and Christmas decorations, as part of junk removal and downsizing. That said, your regular trash, like food waste, should still be separated into your weekly trash cans.

Yard Waste

Yard waste is a good addition to your roll-off dumpster. You can throw away tree trimmings, bush trimmings, and other parts of your landscaping with a roll-off dumpster

You may even be able to get rid of storm debris and cleanups that have been neglected over the winter. If there are several large branches in your yard that you are unable to get rid of, a roll-off dumpster can take these items away.

Other yard waste you may want to consider can include clean-up from your neighborhood. While you have a roll-off dumpster, it may be a good idea to organize neighborhood-wide spring cleaning to address any pollution that may be around. For these items, you should be sure to individually bag this waste before adding it to the dumpster.

Remodeling Waste

If you are remodeling your home, chances are there will be a lot of debris related to the remodeling that will need to be removed.

Old furniture, drywall, and other building materials that are removed during a remodel can be thrown away in the roll-off dumpster. Many people like to start small renovation projects during spring cleaning as part of a house-wide overhaul.

What Are Good Rules to Follow?

There are a few rules that you should follow anytime you discard trash.

Small items should always be bagged individually before being thrown in the dumpster. This ensures that all items are accounted for so they can be properly disposed of. Place glass items inside of cardboard boxes and any unused cardboard boxes should be broken down. 

Why Is a Renting a Dumpster Better Than Regular Trash Pick-Up?

Renting a dumpster is often a better strategy than your regular trash pickup for large projects.

You can get rid of a lot more trash at one time by using a roll-off dumpster. Although your regular trash pickup will be able to address most of your weekly trash needs, if you are spring cleaning, renovating, or moving then you likely are going to have a significant amount of rubbish and other waste to remove at one time. Other benefits include:

Fewer Restrictions

There are several restrictions related to your regular trash pickup in terms of items that you are not allowed to put in your regular trash can.

Your weekly trash service may not pick up large items, or have a limit on large item pick up. Your weekly trash is also restricted on yard waste, construction and building debris, and household appliances. If your spring cleaning happens to include some of these items, then a dumpster can be a superior method of removing these items since there are significantly fewer restrictions with a dumpster.

Fewer Additional Charges

Your regular trash pickup is meant to contain all of your weekly trash in a 96-gallon can.

If your trash is more than what a 96-gallon can contain, then you do have the option of setting out additional kitchen bags of waste, as well as additional cans. However, additional trash bags or trash cans also have additional charges, so it may be a smarter investment in your time and money to rent a dumpster instead.

What Dumpster Sizes Are Available?

Panhandle Dumpsters offers a roll-off dumpster that is 30 yards. 

How Long Can You Rent a Dumpster?

You can rent a roll-off dumpster anywhere from a day to several weeks.

With a roll-off dumpster, you can schedule your pickup at a time that is convenient for you and your project.

Best Occasions to Rent a Dumpster

Girl Holding Trash Bag | West Virginia Roll-Off Dumpster | Panhandle Dumpsters

Dumpster rental is a great option for homeowners and businesses alike. There are so many occasions when it makes sense to rent a dumpster, and we will discuss some of the best ones here. 

Cardboard Trash | Renting a Dumpster | Eastern Panhandle WV | Panhandle Dumpsters

A Dumpster for Spring Cleaning

As the warmer months approach, we’re all gearing up to get our spring cleaning started!

One of the best occasions to rent a dumpster is when you plan to do some spring cleaning. This usually involves deep cleaning all of your surfaces, decluttering your closets, and getting rid of excess around your home or office. Spring cleaning is a great way to get rid of the winter blues and prepare for the summer ahead.

You can bet you’ll have a lot of extra waste to get rid of, and having someone else haul away the trash is the easiest way to do it. You can simply throw all of your extra waste into the dumpster and forget about it!

Better yet, coordinate a weekend that works with a few of your neighbors and have a community clean-out day where you can split the rental costs!

Moving Day

If you’re in the process of moving, renting a dumpster can be a huge help.

You can use it to dispose of large or bulky items that you don’t want to move and aren’t fit for donation, like furniture or appliances. You can also use it to get rid of any packing materials or debris from the move.

When you’re moving, there are a lot of things to think about: what will your new neighbors be like, the never-ending checklist of accounts that need turned off or setup, how will you get a whole house of stuff moved. It can be a lot of work, and sometimes it’s easy to forget about the little things – like how to efficiently handle all the rubbish. That’s where renting a dumpster comes in handy. As rooms are packed up, trash starts to accumulate and it can be daunting to see the bags of trash pile up. Instead of dealing with this yourself,  rent a dumpster and all that trash will be hauled away for you.

The Holidays

The holiday season can already be a source of stress as we prep for gatherings and special moments, so don’t let the extra waste stack up in the garage.

You can use a roll-off dumpster to get rid of old holiday decorations as you start decorating or wrapping paper and packaging materials after opening presents. If the whole family came by for Thanksgiving week, you may be dealing with having double, triple (maybe quadruple?) the usual trash at your house.

You can also use our bins to clean out your closets and get rid of all the clothes that you don’t want anymore (or have just replaced with great new gifts!)

A Dumpster Home Renovation Projects

Renovating your home is a big job, and it can generate a lot of waste. 

Renting a dumpster will make the process much easier and ensure that your waste is disposed of properly. It also helps ensure your wife doesn’t go crazy keeping up with all the debris!

Renovation debris like drywall, wood, metal, plastic, and insulation – plus nails, screws, and other metal hardware can create a serious safety hazard if they’re not disposed of properly.

Keep your home and family safe by having a dedicated disposal dumpster on-site. We’ll even rotate it out as needed to make sure you don’t run out of space!

Yard Sale Prep

Hosting a yard sale is a great way to get rid of unwanted items and make some extra cash. But before you can start selling, you need to get your inventory ready. 

This includes cleaning, organizing, and pricing your items. You’ll also definitely find some things that you don’t want to try to sell: with a dumpster from us in the yard, you can just throw them out!

Once the sale is over, you’ll definitely have a little mess to clean up. This may include packing up all of your unsold items and taking them back inside, or deciding to trash them. A rented dumpster will make this whole process much easier and allow you to simply be rid of anything you couldn’t sell and don’t want to donate.

Yard Sale | Dumpster Rental | Panhandle Dumpsters

Garage & Attic Cleanouts

If you’re like most people, the garage and attic space of your house becomes the “I don’t want to get rid of it, but I also don’t want to look at it anymore” zone.  

One of the best occasions to rent a dumpster is when you’re doing a garage or attic clean-out. If you have a lot of old junk that you need to get rid of, a dumpster is a perfect solution. You can easily throw all your clutter and have it hauled away without any hassle for you.

Imagine how great it would be to have a clean, empty garage where you could park your car or let your little one zoom around on their big-wheel. Maybe you can finally get around to putting up some pegboard walls and organizing all of your tools- making good use of that workbench you can never get to. With a roll-off dumpster, you can easily get rid of all the junk in your garage and make some much-needed space.

Attics can also be cluttered and full of junk. But with a dumpster, you can easily clean out and organize some extra storage space. You can throw away all the old junk and make room for new items or just reclaim the space to use for anything else.

Landscaping Work and Tree Removal

Bulky tree limbs, bags of yard waste and other landscaping materials can turn a 4-hour job into a whole weekend.

Another great occasion to rent a roll-off dumpster is when you are doing landscaping work. This includes removing trees, shrubs, and other plants from your yard. A dumpster makes it easy to dispose of the debris quickly and efficiently.

What to Think About Before Renting a Dumpster

What’s the best time to rent a dumpster?

Some people might think that any time is a good time to rent a dumpster, but that’s not always the case. In some instances, you might be better off waiting until a specific time or stage of your proejct.

For example, if you’re planning a large-scale home renovation project, it’s usually best to wait until the project is mostly complete before renting. You don’t want to have to pay for extra days when you’re not generating waste or aren’t yet ready to fill up the dumpster.

What type of waste and what size dumpster do you need?

Before you rent your big yellow dumpster, it’s important to ask yourself a few questions. For instance, what type of waste will you be putting in the dumpster? And how much space do you need?

Knowing the answers to these questions will help you choose the right size and ensure that you’re not overpaying for services you don’t need or rushing to rent another dumpster because you don’t have enough room.

 

When it comes to large projects, renting a roll-off dumpster can help speed clean up time, reduce trips to the local dump, and save you money.
