Spring is here and for many of us, that means it’s time to do some Spring cleaning! Whether the closets, garage, basement, or attic are on your to-do list (or maybe all of the above!), renting a dumpster can make everything easier. 

We’ve compiled this Spring cleaning checklist and are sharing reasons why renting a dumpster makes this annual tradition more manageable.

Spring Cleaning Checklist

Wash Curtains & Blinds

Spring cleaning is a good time to take care of chores you wouldn’t include in your regular cleaning routine. This includes washing curtains and blinds. They can get dirty and make your room look dingy. Give these a good cleaning so that sunlight can better come through your windows.

Clean Appliances

Clean the inside and outside of appliances like refrigerators and microwaves. While you’re in the fridge, this is a good time to look for expired foods. Throw these items away and get a fresh start with a clean fridge. 

Clean Baseboards

Chances are you don’t clean the baseboards around your house regularly. Now is a good time to get that done. Cleaning them with a vacuum and a damp cloth should get the job done.

Wash Bedding

Washing your comforter and pillows can help to remove dust and allergens that can build up over time. Making this part of your Spring Cleaning routine can ensure a clean sleep environment.

Time to Declutter

Spring is a great time to declutter your entire home. Start with closets, then make your way to the attic, basement, and garage. You may be surprised at what has accumulated in these spots!

As you’re going through everything, look for what you want to sell and what you can donate. You also want a pile for what needs to be thrown away. This can include items that are broken, or just too worn out for anyone else to use. This is where a dumpster is useful.

When you rent a dumpster, you can simply throw these items away in one spot. You don’t have to worry about putting them out for your regular trash pick-up. With a dumpster parked conveniently on your property, you can get rid of many items at once. 

Just be careful because not everything can be put in the dumpster. Here’s a quick look at some items you can’t throw away in a dumpster:

• Hazardous or Medical Waste
• Vehicle or Tractor Batteries
• Gasoline
• Diesel Fuel
• Oil
• Paint
• Tires

If you have any of these items, you’ll need to find a proper way to dispose of them.

Don’t Forget the Outside!

While you have plenty to keep you busy on the inside of your house, you don’t want to forget about the outside. Be sure to clean porches, decks, and patios. Sweep them and power wash them for best results.

Also, clean outdoor furniture so that it is ready to be used as the warmer weather settles in. Many people use this time to clean their gutters and get the lawn and yard cleaned up. Renting a dumpster for yard waste can be a good idea if you have a large amount of debris that can’t be picked up as part of your regular trash haul.
