Renting a dumpster during the winter can be a great way to tackle home cleanouts, renovations, or post-holiday junk removal. However, the colder months come with their own unique challenges and considerations.
\r\n\r\nIf you're planning a winter cleanup, here are our five biggest tips to make renting a dumpster in the winter a breeze...
\r\n\r\nWinter weather can make placement a little tricky. Snow and ice can cover driveways and other areas where the dumpster might go. Before your dumpster is delivered, clear a flat, stable area for it. Your driveway is often the best spot because it’s easy to access, but no matter where you're placing your dumpster, make sure the area is cleared of snow and de-iced to prevent any slips or accidents when loading the dumpster.
\r\n\r\nWinter storms can impact your cleanup plans and the timing of your dumpster delivery or pickup. If heavy snow or icy conditions are expected, communicate with your rental company to coordinate the best schedule. Planning around the weather ensures a smoother process and avoids delays caused by hazardous conditions.
\r\n\r\nIn winter, items like cardboard, wood, or fabrics can get wet, making them heavier and at greater risk of freezing to the dumpster. To avoid this, try to keep the items dry before and after tossing them into your dumpster. Keep your dumpster covered with a tarp when it’s not in use, especially if snow or freezing rain is in the forecast. This small step can prevent your dumpster from exceeding the included weight limit, saving you money in the long run.
\r\n\r\nWinter cleanups often involve getting rid of bulky items like old furniture, holiday decorations, or leftover debris from remodels or other projects. Think carefully about the dumpster size you’ll need and confirm with the companies you speak to that you are renting the best dumpster size for your specific needs. It’s better to rent one that’s slightly larger than to risk running out of space in the middle of your project. The rental company can help you decide which size is best based on your cleanup goals.
\r\n\r\nEveryone knows that winter brings its own hazards and safety challenges, and winter dumpster rental is no different. Wear proper footwear to avoid slipping on ice, shovel snow away from the area where you’ll be walking or carrying items, and use gloves to protect your hands while loading. In addition, be sure to move slowly and watch where you're walking. Taking these precautions will help you complete your project safely, even in slippery conditions.

\r\n\tSchedule Delivery: Choose a day and time for the dumpster to be dropped off at your location.
\r\n\tLoad It Up: Fill the dumpster with your junk or debris, keeping an eye on the weather and safety tips.
\r\n\tPickup: Once your project is done, the rental company will haul the dumpster away and handle disposal for you.
\r\n\tRenting a dumpster in winter is an effective way to handle cleanouts or renovations while avoiding the busier spring season. By planning ahead and keeping these winter-specific tips in mind, you can make the process hassle-free.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere are several different styles and sizes of dumpsters available for temporary rent for both tenants and property owners.
\r\n
At Hometown, we specialize in helping people learn more about large disposal solutions and how to get the best price in their area.
\r\n\r\nThere are several different dumpster styles available to accommodate all different types of disposal needs.
\r\n\r\nThe main dumpster styles on the market are:
\r\n\r\nThe most common type of temporary dumpster rental is a roll-off container, which is literally rolled off the back of a dumpster truck and placed on your driveway, parking lot, in the street, etc.
\r\n\r\nThese heavy-duty containers feature an open top and swinging side door(s) that make loading the dumpster very easy.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe convenience of being able to walk your heavy or bulky items into a roll-off container rather than having to lift it over the sides makes it the preferred dumpster style for those getting rid of furniture, appliances, equipment, concrete debris, etc.
\r\n
Trailer dumpsters are a handy alternative to roll-off dumpsters that also feature an open top, but its most attractive feature is the fact that it sits on rubber wheels.
\r\n\r\nA trailer dumpster's rubber wheels and compact design make it easy to move or reposition as needed throughout the duration of your rental as long as you have a vehicle with a hitch.
\r\n\r\nIf you live in a rental unit that requires your dumpster rental to sit in a public street, you may be able to avoid having to get a dumpster permit by renting a trailer dumpster instead of a roll-off container, which can only be moved with the dumpster company's commercial vehicle.
\r\n\r\nYou will likely need to move the trailer dumpster daily in order to avoid needing to get a permit from your city or township.
\r\n\r\nThe local dumpster companies you speak with will know about the permit requirements where you live and will likely get the dumpster permit for you if necessary.
\r\n\r\nBag dumpsters are large, soft bags that can hold up to 3 yards worth of material and up to 3,300 lbs.
\r\n\r\nBag dumpsters are convenient if you live in an apartment or condo that does not allow you to rent a regular size dumpster, but if you're renting a home or business with the parking space to rent a roll-off or trailer dumpster, you can get rid of at least 3x as much material for a comparable price.
\r\n\r\nDumpster bags aren't the most cost-efficient, but they are great when your space is limited.
\r\n\r\nFinally, commercial dumpsters are rented from business tenants and are there long-term with weekly or bi-weekly emptying services.
\r\n\r\nCommercial dumpsters are rarely ever rented as a temporary disposal solution, but some companies may allow this if you have specific sizing requirements or they have a surplus of commercial dumpster containers and limited roll-off options.
\r\n\r\nContinue reading: The Different Types of Dumpster Styles
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTemporary dumpsters are sized by how many cubic yards they can hold.
\r\n\r\nThe most popular size temporary rentals are 10 yard and 20 yard dumpsters, but they can come in a wide variety of sizes.
\r\n\r\nThere are dumpster rentals that fall in between 10 and 20 yarders, like 12 yard and 15 yard containers.
\r\n\r\nMini dumpsters are sometimes offered and come in 2-9 yard sizes, and 30 and 40 dumpsters are available for the largest size projects.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf your rental is relatively small and your cleanup project is moderate, a 10 yard dumpster is usually a sufficient size.
\r\n
20 yard dumpsters are better for entire home cleanouts for multiple bed and bathroom properties or small to medium commercial rentals.
\r\n\r\n30 and 40 yard containers are used for larger projects, like construction/demolition, hoarding cleanups, commercial projects, etc.
\r\n\r\nDumpster bags come with a 3 yard capacity, and commercial dumpsters typically range from 2 yard to 10 yard sizes.
\r\n\r\nA cubic yard measures 1 yard L x 1 yard W x 1 yard H.
\r\n\r\n1 yard is 3 feet, so 1 cubic yard is 27 cubic feet.
\r\n\r\nChoosing the wrong size dumpster can cost you additional money than the quote you were initially give, which is why it's important to provide detailed, accurate information when you speak with different dumpster rental companies.
\r\n\r\nReputable dumpster rental companies are experts at recommending the perfect size container for your particular project.

\r\nThere are basic rules that all dumpster rental customers have to follow, regardless if they are the property owners or a renter.
\r\n\r\nSome of these common dumpster rental rules include not being able to throw prohibited or illegal material into the container, filling the container past the fill line, and ensuring you have the proper permits displayed if your container is placed in a public right-of-way or if your particular area requires a permit for your driveway or yard.
\r\n\r\nTenants must make sure from the property manager or owner of the property they're renting what, if any, their rules are regarding tenant dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen looking for dumpster rentals in your area, keep in mind that local waste companies tend to charge less than their larger competitors that service many areas.
\r\n\r\nFinding local dumpster providers is easy with Hometown.
\r\n\r\nWe publish locally-owned and operated dumpster rental and junk removal companies throughout the U.S., and we personally verify that each provider is licensed, insured, and reputable for your peace of mind.
\r\n\r\nBy entering your zip code and answering a few short questions about your dumpster needs, you'll be shown a list of qualified companies that service your area.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, you can read more about each company and the services they offer, read real customer reviews, and request as many free quotes as you'd like!
\r\n\r\nIt's always best practice to get at least 2-3 different quotes to not only compare pricing, but to make sure you're getting the dumpster size you need on a timeline that works for you.
\r\n\r\nGetting multiple quotes before renting a dumpster also helps you compare the quality of customer service you can expect from each company, which is often just as important as cost.

\r\n
Most dumpster rentals come with a set weight allowance, and going over it can lead to unexpected overage fees that quickly add up. Whether you’re tackling a home cleanout, renovation, or construction project, having a good estimate of your dumpster load’s weight can help you stay within budget and avoid surprises on your final bill.
\r\n\r\nIn this guide, we’ll break down how to estimate the weight of different types of debris, how much weight common dumpster sizes can hold, and tips to avoid exceeding your limit.
\r\n\r\n![\"Estimated](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/estimated-weight-of-debris-infographic_1.png\")
\r\nAn overage charge is an additional fee that is added to the final bill if the weight of a dumpster load exceeds its weight allowance. Overage fees vary by company but typically range from $50 per ton to $100+ per ton.
\r\n\r\nLet's say you contact a dumpster company and they quote you $400 to rent a 20 yard dumpster with an included 2-ton (4,000 lb) weight allowance. The dumpster rental company states there is a $50 per ton charge for going over your 2-ton weight limit. After filling the dumpster and having it hauled away, the dumpster rental company weighs the load at the landfill and finds it is 1,000 lbs over the weight allowance. In this scenario, you will incur a $50 additional charge on your bill, so your total bill is now $450.
\r\n\r\nNote that the overage doesn’t have to be a full 2,000 lbs (1 ton) over the weight allowance in order to be charged the full amount ($50 in this example). Many dumpster rental companies charge overage fees this way, while others offer prorated overage fees.
\r\n\r\nAs previously mentioned, weight allowances vary by dumpster rental provider. Reach out to them directly to get the most accurate and up-to-date cost info.
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\nThe weight of dumpster loads can vary a great deal. For instance, a 10 yard dumpster filled to the top with cabinets and linoleum flooring will weigh far less than a 10 yard dumpster filled with stone or masonry debris.
\r\n\r\nThe estimated weights in the chart below are per cubic yard.
\r\n\r\nIt may be helpful to keep in mind that one cubic yard measures 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft in size, which is roughly the same dimensions as a standard kitchen stove.

Reminder: These are averages, and the exact weight of your debris may be more less.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It's important to remember that volume does not necessarily dictate the weight of a load. For example, a 10 yard dumpster filled to the top with household furniture will likely weigh less than a 10 yard dumpster filled one-fifth of the way full of concrete debris. Wet debris weighs significantly more than dry wastes, which is why we advise covering the dumpster with a tarp during rainstorms to avoid saturating the load.
\r\n\r\nEstimating the weight of your junk or debris can be particularly tricky if multiple types of waste are disposed of in the dumpster.
\r\n\r\nUsing this formula to help keep a running estimate of what enters the dumpster is a useful strategy to keep the load under the weight allowance:
\r\n\r\n(Weight of 1 yard of a particular waste) x (Number of square yards) = Total weight
\r\n\r\nMake sure to calculate for each type of waste and then add each together to get the total load weight. Knowing what and approximately how much debris is put in the dumpster—along with using the chart above—can help you estimate a load's weight and be sure you stay within your weight limit.

\r\nExamples: Clothing, furniture, toys, boxes, non-construction-related clutter
\r\n\r\nAverage Weight per Cubic Yard: 100-250 lbs
\r\n\r\nHousehold trash is relatively lightweight. Even if you fill a large dumpster, you likely won’t go over the weight limit unless you're disposing of heavier items like books, old appliances, or solid wood furniture.
\r\n\r\nTake a look at the table below to get an idea for how much a dumpster will weigh when it's full of household junk.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Estimated Weight of Household Junk by Dumpster Size
\r\n\r\n| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tVolume (yd³) | \r\n\t\t\tWeight Range | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t10 | \r\n\t\t\t0.5-1.25 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 15 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t15 | \r\n\t\t\t0.75-1.9 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 20 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t20 | \r\n\t\t\t1-2.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 30 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t30 | \r\n\t\t\t1.5-3.75 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 40 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t40 | \r\n\t\t\t2-5 tons | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
Examples: Drywall, wood, tile, flooring, concrete, general remodeling waste
\r\n\r\nAverage Weight per Cubic Yard: 250-1,000+ lbs (heavily depends on materials)
\r\n\r\nConstruction waste can get heavy fast. Materials like tile, concrete, bricks, or plaster are dense and can add up quickly even if the dumpster isn’t full. If you are tossing heavy debris, a smaller dumpster is typically recommended so you avoid exceeding truck hauling limits.
\r\n\r\nIn the table below, you can see how much a dumpster will weigh when it's full of construction or demolition debris.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Estimated Weight of C&D Debris by Dumpster Size
\r\n\r\n| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tVolume (yd³) | \r\n\t\t\tWeight Range | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t10 | \r\n\t\t\t1.25-5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 15 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t15 | \r\n\t\t\t1.9-7.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 20 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t20 | \r\n\t\t\t2.5-10 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 30 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t30 | \r\n\t\t\t3.75-15 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 40 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t40 | \r\n\t\t\t5-20 tons | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
Examples: Asphalt shingles (most common), felt, underlayment
\r\n\r\nAverage Weight per Square (100 sq ft): 250-300 lbs
\r\n\r\nRoughly 3-4 bundles of shingles = 1 square
\r\n\r\nRoofing shingles are surprisingly heavy. The weight adds up quickly, especially with multiple layers being torn off. Some rental companies may restrict shingle disposal to smaller sizes to avoid overweight loads.
\r\n\r\nTake a look at the table below to see how much a dumpster will weigh when it's full of roofing shingles.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Estimated Weight of Roofing Debris by Dumpster Size
\r\n\r\n| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tVolume (yd³) | \r\n\t\t\tWeight Range | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t10 | \r\n\t\t\t3-3.75 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 15 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t15 | \r\n\t\t\t4.5-5.25 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 20 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t20 | \r\n\t\t\t6-7.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 30 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t30 | \r\n\t\t\t9-10.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 40 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t40 | \r\n\t\t\t12-13.5 tons | \r\n\t\t

Use the dumpster rental company’s expertise to your advantage. Experienced dumpster rental providers are the best source for getting a rough estimate of how much a dumpster load will weigh based on the type of debris and size of the project. They also understand local landfill fees, permit requirements, and of course, the cost of overage charges. They are the experts; use their expertise to get a better understanding of which size dumpster to choose and how high you can fill the container without incurring overage fees.

\r\nThe best way to get the best dumpster deal in your area is by renting from a local provider. Nationwide haulers tend to have less flexibility when it comes to pricing and available containers. Plus, small local companies are typically owner-operated, which tends to mean better customer service.
\r\n\r\nFinding reputable dumpster companies is easy with Hometown. You can locate locally-owned providers and request free quotes to compare pricing. The more quotes you get, the more likely you are to find the right size dumpster at the best price.

\r\n\r\nHowever, there are many common misconceptions about renting a dumpster, and Hometown is here to debunk them.
\r\n\r\n![\"Common](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/misconceptions-dumpster-info_0.png\")
\r\nWhile dumpsters are commonly utilized by companies and contractors, temporary dumpster rentals are an option for anyone who needs one.
\r\n\r\nThere are many different types of dumpsters. The commercial dumpsters you see behind businesses are for long-term rentals and are typically only offered to commercial clients.
\r\n\r\nThere are some companies that will rent this type of dumpster to residential clients temporarily when they have a low inventory of other dumpsters or the customer has special circumstances that require a specific size container.
\r\n\r\nThe majority of dumpsters that are rented out to residential customers for days or weeks at a time are roll-off containers and trailer dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nBoth of these dumpster styles feature an open top (different from commercial dumpsters) and come in a variety of sizes to accommodate all different size projects.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is true in some cases, not all.
\r\n\r\nIf your situation requires that you have to place your dumpster rental blocking any part of a public right-of-way, a permit is required.
\r\n\r\nThis includes streets, sidewalks, parking lots, and alleyways.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPlacing a dumpster rental on your personal property, like your driveway or yard, typically does not require a permit.
\r\n
There are some areas that require a permit regardless of where the dumpster is placed, like in certain zip codes of Chicago or New York City.
\r\n\r\nIt is up to your local municipality whether a permit is required or not for temporary dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\nA reputable dumpster rental company that services your area will know if a permit is necessary in your case or not, and if they are, they will typically obtain the permit on your behalf.
\r\n\r\nRead on: The Process of Obtaining a Dumpster Rental Permit
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMost residential dumpsters are designed to be able to fit in single-car driveway.
\r\n\r\nUnless your driveway isn't designed for an average size vehicle, finding a dumpster that fits in your driveway shouldn't be a problem.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRenting the correct dumpster size is important to make sure you don't spend more than necessary.

Renting a 15 yard dumpster when you only have 8 yards worth of debris will cost you more than renting a more appropriately sized 10 yard dumpster.
\r\n\r\nOn the contrary, renting the smallest dumpster size because it has the lowest price may require renting a second dumpster if you underestimate the amount of debris, trash, and junk you have to throw away.
\r\n\r\nUnderestimating the amount of trash you have is a common mistake that new dumpster rental customers often make that can result in them spending 2x the amount they initially intended on spending.
\r\n\r\nDumpster companies are great at helping you choose the right dumpster size for your disposal project, which is why being as descriptive about your project as possible is important when speaking with different dumpster pros.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHeavy roll-off containers can damage a structural weak driveway, but it is rare and there are many ways to prevent driveway damage when renting a dumpster:
\r\n\r\nThe average cost of a dumpster rental in the U.S. falls between $250-$550.
\r\n\r\nIf you rent the dumpster for a standard 7 day rental period, that's only about $36-$79 per pay to get rid of hundreds of pounds of trash.
\r\n\r\nWhen you look at the amount of trash and debris you can eliminate with a single dumpster, the cost ends up being comparable or less than the price you pay for your weekly municipal trash service.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's no secret that the commercial dumpsters that sit at apartment complexes or behind restaurants can smell awful, especially during warm weather.
\r\n\r\nWhen you rent a residential dumpster from a reputable company, however, they are disinfected and power washed between uses so that you're presented with a clean, well-kept container.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you're worried about your neighbors being annoyed with a dumpster sitting in your driveway for a few days, consider how much better your property will look once all the trash/junk/debris is cleared from your yard or home.
\r\n\r\nEveryone has house projects from time to time and there are plenty of dumpster rental companies who take pride in making sure their containers look professional and presentable.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEvery dumpster company has a list of items that are not allowed in their containers.
\r\n\r\nIt's important to thoroughly read through your dumpster agreement and make sure you understand the terms and conditions so that you aren't fined or charged any additional fees.
\r\n\r\nA list of commonly banned items in landfills, and therefore most dumpsters, include but are not limited to:

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDumpsters are heavy duty, sturdy containers, but the trucks that carry them have limitations.
\r\n\r\nDumpster trucks can only safely lift and maneuver so much weight, which is why companies limit the amount of weight that can go inside each dumpster.
\r\n\r\nAdditionally, dumpster companies are charged a fee at the landfill that is based on the weight of the items in the container.
\r\n\r\nSo, going over the included weight limit will cut into the dumpster company's profits and you'll be sent a bill to compensate them for the cost of your additional weight.

\r\nMore often than not, a dumpster permit is not required if you're having it placed on your personal residential property.
\r\n\r\nThroughout residential areas in Houston, dumpsters can usually be placed on the street as long as it doesn't go against any HOA bylaws, obstruct traffic, or interfere with your neighbors' properties.
\r\n\r\nYour HOA may not require a permit but may require written permission and ample notice if you plan on having a dumpster rental placed on your personal property.
\r\n\r\nThere are some areas of Houston that do require a permit that blocks part or all of public right-of-ways, like sidewalks, streets, parking lots, etc.
\r\n\r\nIf you are renting a dumpster for your business or commercial property and plan on having the dumpster on-site for longer than 60 days, you must apply for a dumpster permit regardless of the container size.
\r\n\r\nDumpsters rented for commercial jobs will also require a permit if they are to be placed on a street and they cannot obstruct sidewalks or building exits.
\r\n\r\nThe best way to know for sure is to speak with your local municipality to be completely certain of all requirements for your specific situation.
\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself needing to apply for a dumpster rental permit in Houston, you'll need to fill out an application as well as an affidavit that needs to be notarized.

\r\n\r\nTemporary residential dumpster rentals typically come in two forms:
\r\n\r\nThe most commonly available dumpsters are roll-off containers and the most common sizes offered are 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard capacities.
\r\n\r\nRoll-off dumpsters have an open top and a swinging side door(s) that allow you to walk bulky and heavy items into the container.
\r\n\r\nRoll-off dumpsters are great for large renovation or demolition projects, home cleanouts, hoarding cleanups, yard waste cleanups, and more.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLike roll-off containers, trailer dumpsters feature an open top that makes throwing in trash and debris a simple and straightforward process.
\r\n\r\nThe major difference between trailer dumpsters and roll-off containers is the presence of rubber wheels.
\r\n\r\nTrailer dumpsters have rubber wheels that greatly minimize the potential for driveway damage while also providing easier, more precise navigation and maneuvering when being placed on your property.
\r\n\r\nThe most common sizes for trailer dumpsters are 10 yard, 15 yard, and 20 yard sizes - all great loading capacities for a number of residential projects.
\r\n\r\nRead on:
\r\n\r\nIn compliance with federal law, dumpster rental companies in the city of Houston do not allow the disposal of hazardous material in their containers.
\r\n\r\nThis includes, but is not limited to: tires, car batteries and liquids, paints and lacquers, pesticides, and other combustible materials.
\r\n\r\nBeyond that universal rule, no two dumpster rental companies are the same.
\r\n\r\nEach company has their own rules regarding what is accepted in their dumpsters and what isn't, which is why you should be as specific as possible when describing your disposal needs to a potential rental company.
\r\n\r\nSome companies allow all types of material, like household junk, construction and demolition debris, yard waste, recyclables, and more.
\r\n\r\nIt is not uncommon for dumpster companies to require that certain materials are clean loaded.
\r\n\r\n\"Clean loading\" a dumpster involves loading only one type of debris into a dumpster so that it can be reused or recycled.
\r\n\r\nCommon materials that can be clean loaded include concrete, brick, roofing shingles, cardboard, aluminum, wood, yard waste, and more.

\r\nThe standard length of a dumpster rental is one week but most companies offer flexible scheduling to accommodate each individual's needs.
\r\n\r\nProjects that require longer rental lengths can oftentimes be rented out for weeks or months at a time, all dependant on a company's available stock and policies.
\r\n\r\nIt's also common practice for dumpster companies to offer 3-day rentals, but you'll usually still be charged the same amount as you would for a standard 7-day rental.
\r\n\r\nThat's largely due to the fact that the biggest factor that determines dumpster rental pricing is the weight of the material, so don't expect to pay significantly less just because you only need the dumpster for a day or two.
\r\n\r\nThat being said, it never hurts to ask! Some companies may consider giving you a small discount if you have a quick turnaround time during their busy season.
\r\n\r\nUltimately, you'll get the most accurate answer regarding dumpster rental lengths by asking each provider you speak with what their policy is.

Once the snow melts and plants start to grow back, it's time to give your yard a thorough cleanup to get you prepped and ready for the upcoming season.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCleaning up your yard and getting it ready for continued maintenance throughout the spring and summer season is a great way to boost your home's curb appeal and get fresh air and exercise while you're at it.
\r\n
Learn where to start and how to make your yard cleanup as efficient as possible in this quick guide.
\r\n\r\n![\"Spring](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/spring-cleanup-yard-info.jpg\")
\r\nOne of the very first things you should do if you haven't already is remove any seasonal decor that is still left in your yard or on the outside of your home. Any Christmas or Valentine's Day decor should be packed up and stored away for next year. If you love decorating your yard and home for different seasons, consider replacing your winter decor with spring-inspired decor. Tulips and other bright-colored flowers make beautiful front door wreaths, and patio string lights can replace the holiday-colored string lights people use during the winter months. Before you start putting out Easter decorations or patio furniture, be sure to complete the following yard cleanup steps.
\r\n\r\nMake sure that your entire yard is free from clutter and debris. This includes old play sets your children have outgrown, broken and worn bird baths, above ground pools, scrap metal, old bikes, rubber tires, stockpiled wood, or anything else that should otherwise be thrown away or recycled. Lawns should not be used for storage or to start your own backyard \"landfill.\" Allowing garbage and junk to pile up on your lawn will not only kill your grass, but it will collect sitting water that attracts bugs and other pests in search of shelter, not to mention unhappy neighbors if they have to look at your mess, too. Treating your yard like a scrap yard is a danger to any person or pet that steps foot on your property, and it's a huge liability for you as the homeowner.
\r\n\r\nWhen you purchase, inherit, or otherwise acquire a home with a completely unmaintained lawn full of junk and other yard scraps that need to be hauled away and disposed of, it's best to hire a professional yard cleanup company, or at the very least, rent a dumpster for safe and efficient disposal. A 10 or 20 yard dumpster rental will cost you around $250-$550 on average and typically includes 5-7 days of rental. Renting a dumpster is an affordable way to clean up and get rid of any junk in your yard that has been sitting, rotting, and devaluing your property.
\r\n\r\nIf you're unable or unwilling to do all of the heavy lifting and dirty work yourself, hiring a junk removal company to clear away all the waste in your yard is one of the easiest ways to do so. While a little bit more expensive than renting a dumpster, spring yard cleanup services with a professional junk removal company have an average cost of $500-$1,000, but the convenience of not having to lift a finger and not putting yourself at risk of harm or injury cannot be overstated.
\r\n\r\nRenting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal to help you clear out your yard of wanted items is a great way to instantly up your curb appeal and increase the value of your home. Finding a quality yard cleanup service in your area who is reliable and competitively priced is easy with Hometown. You can fill out our quote request form and receive up to three project quotes, completely free of charge, with the click of a button. Compare the multiple quotes you receive to determine who the best company is for the job and get started on your yard cleanup today.

\r\n\r\nAfter you make sure that your yard is clear of junk and scraps, the first thing you should do to prepare your yard for spring is go over it with a rake and remove all of the leftover dead debris that was trapped in place during the winter. If you have dogs, first do a yard sweep to pick up all their droppings so that it doesn't get mixed in with your yard waste.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, remove any fallen tree branches, sticks, or other large debris that can't be easily raked up. You can place these sticks and twigs into a bucket and later use them for kindling to start those sought-after summer bonfires. Also pick up any large rocks or stones that could damage your lawn mower. Having larger items out of the way will make raking your yard much easier.
\r\n\r\nThen, rake up any remaining dead leaves and weeds leftover from the fall. It's important to rake up as much loose debris as possible for the best results for a healthy lawn. The more material you have scattered across your lawn, the harder it will be for your lawn to get the water, nutrients, and sunshine needed to grow into a luscious, healthy lawn. After you've done this type of \"deep cleaning\" with a rake through your lawn, make it a habit to do this around once a month throughout the warmer seasons.
\r\n\r\nThese piles of dead leaves and other organic material can be conveniently composted or bagged in lawn waste bags approved by your city. Be sure not to place them in plastic bags and do not mix them in with your regular trash. Some municipalities will fine you for doing so. If you don't have an easy to way to compost your leaf pile and are unsure of what to do with it, research your weekly trash service to find out how they handle this type of waste.
\r\n\r\nIf you live in a cold climate and your yard is looking old, tired, and quite frankly, dead, consider starting a fertilizer schedule to jumpstart your lawn's regrowth. Fertilizer supplies your grass with nutrients needed to grow that depleted during the winter.
\r\n\r\nThere are plenty of different options available that make fertilizing your lawn straight forward and range from DIY options like Sunday to full-service options like TruGreen. Many experts believe that fertilizer should be applied at least twice a year, with the first fertilization typically planned for April or May. This will vary, however, based on the type of grass you have, your climate, soil nutrients, etc. Lawn care experts in your area will be able to tell you what will work best for your particular situation. For example, \"cool season\" grasses, like bluegrass and ryegrass, are typically fertilized in the early spring and beginning of fall, while other \"warm season\" grasses are typically fertilized in the spring and then again later in the summer.
\r\n\r\nUnderstanding your particular lawn's nutrient needs will help guide you on the best path for optimal lawn regrowth. It's also important to start mowing your lawn once it has grown to about 2.5-3 inches tall. Many people suggest mowing your lawn every 5 days once it has started to grow in the spring, and then slowing down to once a week during peak summer. When it's the warmest, you can allow your grass to grow longer, around 3.5-4 inches tall, to provide more shade and safety for the grass. Cutting your grass too short midsummer can result in scorched lawns that are a sight for sore eyes (and feet!).
\r\n\r\nAnother important aspect of a healthy lawn is not only removing weeds once they've shown up, but doing your best to prevent the start and spread of their growth before they can even be spotted. This is especially important if you noticed that weeds in your yard were very prevalent during the previous year. If weeds tend to be a problem in your yard, consider using a pre-emergent herbicide, or \"weed killer.\" Pre-emergent weed killers can be applied early in the spring where it will sit in the soil and destroy weed seed while it's germinating. If it's too late and weeds have already begun to sprout, using a post-emergent weed killer will work just as well, but will require more pruning and removal after the herbicide has taken affect.
\r\n\r\nOnce your lawn has been cleared of all debris and has been set up for success with fertilizer and pre-emergent weed killers, it's time to start giving your shrubs and trees some much needed attention. Remove any shrub shelters in place and make sure they're dry and dusted off. If there isn't any obvious damage to them, store them away so that they can be reused again in the fall.
\r\n\r\nThe goal of spring pruning is to remove any dead, damaged wood that is unpleasant to look at or could hinder the future growth of your plants. The trick of spring pruning, however, is to be careful to not prevent the growth of any buds or blooms. Making sure you know what to look for and properly timing out your trimming and pruning schedule is critical if you want to be successful. One of the more obvious things that you can feel confident in when you're trimming back shrubs is that if you can clearly see where the green part of the plant ends and a brown, dead spot of the plant begins, it is safe to remove and will instantly make your plant look more healthy and attractive.
\r\n\r\nIf you're someone who wants to trim your plant into a specific shape or length for aesthetic purposes, there are a few things to keep in mind before you go in with a pair of sheers. Shrubs that bud and flower have a specific growing schedule and prematurely cutting them off could ruin your chances of enjoying this season's bloom. There are many types of shrubs that grow their flowers (and sometimes fruit) from buds that were grown during the previous season before their winter hibernations. For example, pruning your blueberry bushes in the spring before they've fruited could result in you cutting off the buds that are suppose to flower and fruit.
\r\n\r\nIf you're unsure what your shrub or bush is, carefully inspect the branches of it in early spring, before any leaves have grown. If you spot any buds, be sure to only trim off dead branches and wait until after it blooms to trim it back. Other types of bushes and shrubs bloom later in the year on new growth that is produced in the current season. These shrubs are safe to trim back early on in the spring without fear of losing any buds and are safe to shape and trim to your preference.
\r\n\r\nTake a good look at any bushes or trees that are bordering any walls of your home, garage, sheds, or other outdoor structures. Large plants can retain and attract moisture and pests, which is why it's a good idea to have at least 2 feet of space between these plants and the exteriors of any structures on your property. Trim back any tree branches or shrubs that have grown too close to (or above) your home.
\r\n\r\nMulch is used for a variety of reasons, like retaining water, preventing weed growth, reducing soil erosion, and enhancing the look of your flowerbeds.
\r\n\r\nIf you previously laid down mulch over perennials for the winter, you'll need to remove it or brush it back so that it does not smother and hinder the regrowth of your perennials. Be sure to remove any old or excess mulch before applying your new mulch. When you're laying new mulch, you typically want to spread it between 2-4 inches thick, but you'll want to use it more sparingly around perennials, shrubs, and trees. Spreading mulch too heavily near these plants can either prevent water from getting to the roots, or cause too much water to pool and sit at the plant's base.
\r\n\r\nOnce your entire yard is cleaned up, consider using a pressure washer to give the exterior of your property an extra \"wow-factor.\" Spring time is the best time of year to power wash the exterior of your home, garage, shed, concrete sidewalks, driveway, and slabs, as well as composite and wooden decks and fencing. Washing away all signs of dirt, age, and other grime with a power washer gives your property an instant facelift and tells anyone driving by, \"This property is well maintained.\"
\r\n\r\nYou should only operate a power washer if you read the manual and understand exactly how to safely operate one, and you wear the appropriate shoes and safety gear. Failing to follow directions could at best end up in damaged property, and at worst could end up with serious injury.
\r\n\r\nPower washers should never be operated when it's under 40 degrees Fahrenheit out, as this can ruin the machinery. It's also important to understand the different types of pressures and chemicals that should be used on different surfaces so that you don't cause damage to the surfaces you're cleaning. Using caution when operating a power washer is crucial, as contact to people, pets, and plans can be extremely dangerous and harmful.
\r\n\r\nIf you have a wooden deck or fence that needs to be re-stained, you should wait until the summertime to do so. Stain should be applied to completely dry wood, so the wet and sometimes chilly spring weather is a less than ideal time to stain your deck or fence.
\r\n\r\nIf all the power washing and re-staining in the world wouldn't be able to salvage the look of your deck, fence, concrete, or shed, considering light demolition could be a worthwhile investment.
\r\n\r\nHiring a professional to handle your light demolition is easily the safest and most time-efficient way to reinvent your property and make room for improvements. Light demolition costs vary based on a number of factors, including the type and size of the shed, deck, fence, or concrete slab, the materials being removed, the location and accessibility of the structures/material, and who you hire. That being said, we've put together a list of the average costs for these types of projects across the U.S.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
| Project Type | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Cost | \r\n\t\t
| Shed demolition | \r\n\t\t\t$600-$2,000 | \r\n\t\t
| Deck removal | \r\n\t\t\t$600-$1,000 | \r\n\t\t
| Fence removal | \r\n\t\t\t$600-$800 | \r\n\t\t
| Concrete patio removal | \r\n\t\t\t$300-$4,500 | \r\n\t\t
| Concrete sidewalk removal | \r\n\t\t\t$500-$2,000 | \r\n\t\t
| Concrete driveway removal | \r\n\t\t\t$500-$2,500 | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
Your exact project cost will depend on the variety of factors described above, but the best way to get an accurate estimate for your project is to reach out to multiple contractors in your area for a quote. This not only ensures you get the best price but also allows you to choose the best contractor for the job, not just the cheapest.
\r\n\r\nSearch your zip code on Hometown Demolition and answer a few short questions about your project to find local contractors who can provide the demolition you need, when you need it.

\r\nWhen you rent a dumpster, it comes with a weight allowance. A major portion of dumpster rental pricing is the cost of disposal. Landfills and recycling centers charge disposal services for the weight of the debris, generally anywhere from $35 per ton (2,000 lbs) to $100 per ton. The amount of weight included in the price can range from 0 lbs to 1 ton (2,000 lbs) to 8 tons (16,000 lbs) or more. The bigger the dumpster, generally the greater the weight allowance. Dumpster companies generally pass the additional disposal fees on to the renter when your load goes over the included weight. If your dumpster price includes 2 tons of weight (4,000 lbs) and your debris weighs in at 6,000 lbs at the landfill, you'll end up paying the extra fees for the additional weight.
