Starting a new home remodelling project can be an exciting time, but it can also fill you with anxiety. There are a lot of things to consider such as an overall budget for your project and what tools and services you’ll need. You’ll also have to think about what you’re going to do with all of the waste generated from your project. Here are the best waste disposal options for a home remodelling project in 2020.
Your Pickup and Your Time
For a small project, many homeowners will simply opt to make the trip to the landfill themselves in their own pickup truck or one they’ve borrowed from a family member or a friend. This may seem like the simplest idea, but it can become a bit more complicated if you have to make multiple dump runs.
It’s time-consuming and tedious and can ruin your weekend if you have to make a lot of runs. Unless you can fit all of your waste from your project in one load and the landfill is located near your home, we don’t recommend this option.
Renting a Dumpster
If you want to work on a project on your own time and at a pace that’s comfortable for you, renting a dumpster is probably your best option. It’s an attractive idea and one that requires the least amount of work by you.
A company delivers a dumpster to your driveway, you fill it without ever leaving your property and they take it away when it’s full. What scares many people away from this option is that they think it will be too expensive. Compared to hiring a junk removal company it’s actually not. If you need to have a junk removal company make several runs to the landfill the costs can add up quickly.
A one-week dumpster rental or skip hire has varying costs, depending on where you’re located. Pricing of this service will certainly vary depending on where in the world you live. Renting a dumpster in Elgin Illinois will cost differently than if you’re hiring a skip in Brighton England. The price of your rental is all dependent on how much it costs to get rid of waste at your local landfill or transfer station. But, If you expect to have a lot of waste from your home remodelling option it’s actually the least expensive and most convenient option opposed to hiring a junk removal company.
A Junk Removal Company
Another popular choice for homeowners looking to get rid of the waste or junk from a spring cleanout or home remodelling project is to hire a junk removal company. There are many different options if this is the route you choose, including large companies and one-man operations you can look up on your social media accounts. These companies advertise themselves as a cheap option for junk removal, but their costs can be quite considerable if you need them to make more than 1 trip to the landfill.
They’re a great option for small projects, but not really practical for larger ones. Of course, they will do most of the heavy lifting for you and that is an important consideration. If you have any physical limitations that prevent you from doing the work yourself, junk removal companies can be a great choice although you’ll need to coordinate your schedule with theirs which can be difficult. For healthy individuals, there are better options.
Your options are limited when it comes to waste disposal of your home renovation debris. When comparing your options, each method has their pros and cons and to decide which is the best for your project, you must figure out what your needs are. If you want the ultimate cheapest option, you’ll make the several trips to the local landfill. If you don’t want any personal labour involved, you’ll opt for the junk removal company. If you have a lot of debris but want a cost-efficient method, you’ll choose the dumpster rental or skip hire
