There is no other local dumpster rental company that gives you the value that Dumpstermaxx gives you. Here are some ideas for a fall clean out and clean up.
During the winter, you will be spending a lot of time indoors, so you want to create more open space to avoid a claustrophobic atmosphere. Old furniture that is unused, like tables or a child’s chair that has been outgrown, should be thrown out first. Not only will this give you more space, but it will allow you to maneuver when cleaning and removing other items. Make sure to use proper lifting procedures when moving more substantial items. Two people or more is best when moving weighty furniture.
Once you have removed all unwanted items, it is time to give the inside of the house a thorough cleaning. This will require a lot of cleaning products, so make sure to factor that in when you rent a dumpster from us. Look around your house for any signs of mold or mildew, you will want to clean this first to make sure the air in your home is healthy. This is also a sign of a leaky roof, we will get to that shortly. Bleach is a surefire way to remove mold and mildew, you can apply it directly or purchase cleaning products that include bleach and allow you to spray it. Make sure to wear goggles and gloves when cleaning with bleach. Next, you will want to clean the windows in the home to allow more sunlight through in the icy winter months. Glass cleaners, with and without ammonia, work well for this task. Of course vacuuming carpet, upholstery, and curtains, plus dusting; give the whole house a fresh feeling to it.
You will want to check the exterior of the house to make sure it is ready for winter. Damaged shingles on the rooftop should be removed and thrown in your dumpster. A handyman, or roofer for larger jobs, can replace the damaged shingles. Leaving damaged shingles will most likely lead to leaks in your home. If the home has siding, make sure it is secure and undamaged; loose and damaged shingles can be repaired by a handyman. If possible measure damaged siding before ordering your rental dumpster so we can provide you with the correct size. Make sure that spigots are frost proof and that your sprinklers system is winterized.
After you have finished with the house, you will want to prepare your yard. A yard cleanup, including a back yard cleanup, is essential to get ready for cold weather. All leaves should be raked and bagged and thrown in your dumpster, or mulched with a mower. Sticks, branches, and debris should be picked up and disposed of in your roll off dumpster. Tree limbs too close to the house should be trimmed in case the weight of snow or ice causes them to fall and damage your roof. Your lawn should be mowed and the grass cut to a height of 2 inches for it to survive under a blanket of snow. All grass clippings should be bagged and disposed of with other yard waste.
