The process is pretty quick and easy for a professional cleaning company.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Specialized trucks fitted with steam and power washer jets blast the interior of the dumpster with up to 200-degree F steam to sanitize, clean, and deodorize the bin.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The process takes just minutes, and <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6838735/\" title=\"Comparison of steam technology and a two-step cleaning\">steam is very effective at disinfecting and sanitizing</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The dumpster pad area must also be kept clean of debris and spills.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It should be cleared of trash that didn’t make it into the dumpster and power washed as needed to remove spills and odors.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most state and/or local laws mandate dumpster pads maintain cleanliness just as the dumpster itself must.</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/AYti1KOat0E\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your commercial waste hauler may offer this service either as an add-on or as part of regular commercial dumpster service.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If not offered, you can utilize a local commercial dumpster cleaning company to handle the job. The costs are surprisingly affordable for such a&nbsp;useful and necessary service.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a id=\"costs\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Commercial Dumpster and Pad Cleaning Costs</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Costs will vary based on location, complexity of the cleanup, and services offered.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For example, a single dumpster pad cleaning at a cardboard-only dumpster site would cost less than a job involving a double dumpster pad cleaning at a restaurant with a grease bin.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>Dumpster pad cleaning costs typically range between $50 to $200. Dumpster container cleaning costs generally range from $15 to $100.</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>Some dumpster cleaning companies offer container cleaning and dumpster pad cleaning as a service.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can expect to get a better deal by having both services combined.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For example, the dumpster cleaning may cost $75 and the dumpster pad cleaning costs $25 for a total of $100. These services may cost more if charged separately.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a id=\"find-service\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Where to Find Commercial Dumpster Cleaning Companies</h2>\r\n<img alt=\"Commercial dumpster cleaning truck\" data-align=\"center\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"21490550-9a94-43ef-abc7-2ae8120dc88c\" src=\"/static/0a508f0d2aa8e509a999ce51f25e2bed/commercial-dumpster-cleaning-2.jpg\" />\r\n<p>The first place to look for commercial dumpster cleaning companies is with your current commercial waste hauler.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many will offer container cleaning services that are either included in the monthly service cost or as an add-on feature for an additional fee.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can also find commercial dumpster and pad cleaning companies by searching online.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are companies that offer these services specifically, as well as related services, like general power washing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you can't find a reputable company to handle the cleaning, it is possible to do it yourself with the proper tools.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A power washer works best if you have access to one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A local equipment rental company or home improvement store, like <a href=\"https://www.homedepot.com/c/pressure_washer_equipment_rental\" title=\"Rent Power Washers at Home Depot\">Home Depot</a>, <a href=\"https://rentals.lowes.com/category/Pressure%20Washers/828\" title=\"Rent Pressure Washers at Lowe's\">Lowe's</a>, or <a href=\"https://www.menards.com/main/rental-equipment/floor-cleaners-air-movers-power-washing-rental/c-19168.htm\" title=\"Rent Pressure Washers at Menard's\">Menard's</a>,&nbsp;may offer power washer rentals.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The biggest <a href=\"https://www.homes.com/blog/2018/01/7-things-you-should-know-before-you-power-wash-anything/\" title=\"Difference between power washers and pressure washers\">difference between power washers and pressure washers</a> is that power washers use heated water and pressure washers do not. Both use pressurized water, but the heated water works better to deep clean the dumpster and pad.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a id=\"diy\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>DIY Costs Compared to Hiring a Professional Cleaning Company</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The upfront costs of obtaining a power washer, fuel, eco-friendly detergents, and other cleaning tools can be steep.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A commercial-grade power washer (heated water) can easily range from $2,000-$3,000 if purchased new.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cold water pressure washers can be bought for less, but a commercial-grade pressure washer ranges from $500 for a heavy-duty residential model up to several thousand dollars for a tow-behind commercial pressure washer.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To reduce DIY costs, you can rent a power washer and purchase the necessary cleaning agents to complete the job.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Be sure to use eco-friendly options that abide by local and state laws.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also,&nbsp;check on the regulations regarding collection of the run-off water; it may or may not be allowed to empty into the storm drain.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A commercial dumpster cleaning service, as described previously, can be had for as little as $15 to $50 per month or as high as $200 to $300 per month. The total cost will depend on the number of cans, your location, and services offered.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We strongly suggest using a commercial dumpster cleaning service to handle the container and pad cleaning on a periodic basis. It’s not only a cost-effective option, but it’s also an eco-friendlier option and is completely hands-off for you.</p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"content-box-yellow\">\r\n<p><strong>Hometown makes it easy for customers to find local commercial waste management companies.</strong><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/commercial-waste-management\" title=\"Browse Local Dumpster Rental Companies\">Browse commercial dumpster companies based on your zip code</a>, read customer reviews for each company, and <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/the-importance-of-getting-several-dumpster-rental-quotes\" title=\"The Importance of Getting Several Dumpster Rental Quotes\">request quotes from multiple dumpster providers</a> to ensure you pay a fair price for great services.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2 class=\"text-align-center\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/\" title=\"Find waste hauling Services Near Me\">Find waste hauling services near me</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<p><b>Find out more:</b></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/rent-from-locally-owned-dumpster-company\" title=\"Why You Should Rent from a Locally-Owned Dumpster Company\">Why You Should Rent from a Locally-Owned Dumpster Company</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/find-trash-removal-services-near-you\" title=\"How to Find Trash Removal Services Near You\">How to Find Trash Removal Services Near You</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n","teaser":"<p>Commercial dumpster and pad cleaning services are generally affordable compared to handling the job yourself with your own equipment.

However, there are several key factors influencing the cost of commercial trash collection.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here are some factors that can play a role in determining the price of commercial trash collection in different situations:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Location</li>\r\n\t<li>Pick-up frequency</li>\r\n\t<li>Weight of debris</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Location</strong>: Your proximity to the waste hauling company plays a role in costs. Driving time and fuel costs are the major players here. To keep costs low, choose a commercial dumpster company that is located close to your business.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Pick-up Schedule</strong>: Commercial waste service generally includes weekly pick-ups in the quoted price. For more frequent pick-ups, such as biweekly, the cost will increase.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Weight and Volume of Debris</strong>: Exceeding this weight limit can lead to additional fees.

Businesses that produce slightly more debris, like busy restaurants, apartment complexes, gas stations, and larger retail stores, will likely need a larger dumpster, like a 6 yard or 8 yard container.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"prices\">If your business produces a lot of trash or recyclable debris, a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/find-the-right-commercial-trash-compactor-for-your-business\" title=\"Find the Right Commercial Trash Compactor for Your Business\">commercial trash compactor</a> may be a better option for your company. Just like commercial dumpsters, commercial compactors come in a wide range of sizes, too, from 4 yards to as big as 40 yards. A 40 yard trash compactor, for example, is ideal for large facilities or warehouses, like Lowe's, Walmart, etc. If a business has to process many tons of recyclable materials, like cardboard, large commercial compactors are the most efficient way to handle it.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Commercial Dumpster Rental Prices</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Commercial dumpster rental service costs are directly related to a number of factors, including the size of the container, how frequently the dumpster is emptied, where the container is located, and who you hire to handle your commercial waste management.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The larger the dumpster, the higher the cost. Similarly, weekly pick-ups will cost more than bi-weekly pick-ups. And if your business is located in an area with a high cost of living, like a busy metropolitan area, then you can expect your dumpster service fees to be more than it would be for the same dumpster size and the same pick-up frequency in an area with a lower cost of living.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The average cost for commercial dumpster services is <strong>$100-$200</strong> per month for weekly pick-ups.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here's a closer look at commercial dumpster rental costs by dumpster size...</p>\r\n\r\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Commercial Dumpster Size</strong></td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Average Monthly Cost</strong></td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">2 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">$100-$125</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">4 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">$120-$145</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">6 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">$135-$160</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">8 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">$175-$200</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><em><sup>Prices in your market may vary</sup></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Be aware that other fees may apply in addition to your dumpster's monthly service charge, so always inquire about possible additional fees and charges with the commercial dumpster companies you speak to.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"pick-up-schedule\">Because contracts may be required in many instances.

That pick-up schedule can be as frequently as multiple times a week to bi-weekly. Most commercial trash companies are willing to work with you to meet your company's needs, no matter how frequently or infrequently you need you dumpster emptied.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In most cases, business trash pick-up services occur once per week, with the option for additional pick-ups available by request.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Oftentimes, businesses have a busy season and a slow season. The company you choose to work with for your commercial waste needs should be willing and able to provide pick-ups that satisfy your trash management needs regardless of the time of year. If it's not uncommon that your waste removal needs vary throughout the year, be sure to discuss this with each company you reach out to for service estimates.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The most common commercial dumpster pick-up schedules are:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Weekly — A weekly pick-up schedule is ideal for restaurants and gas stations that dispose of food waste or produce more than 2-8 cubic yards of debris every week.</li>\r\n\t<li id=\"right-dumpster\">Bi-weekly — A bi-weekly pick-up schedule is most common for small retail stores and other local businesses that do not deal with food waste on a regular basis and do not produce more than 2-8 cubic yards of debris&nbsp;every two weeks.</li>\r\n\t<li>Monthly — A monthly pick-up schedule is most common for companies or organizations that don't utilize their dumpsters often or consistently throughout the year. With monthly pick-ups, you're able to schedule additional pick-ups as needed, granting you maximum flexibility.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>How to Choose the Right Dumpster for Your Business</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The first step to determining the right commercial dumpster size and schedule for your business is figuring out roughly how much waste your business produces on a weekly basis and what types.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here are some examples of which dumpster size is right for different types of companies...</p>\r\n\r\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\"><strong>Dumpster Size</strong></td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\"><strong>Average Number of Trash Bags Dumpster&nbsp;Holds</strong></td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\"><strong>Best for</strong></td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\">2 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\">10-20</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\">Small retail shops</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\">4 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\">20-30</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\">Gas stations</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\">6 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\">30-40</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\">Restaurants</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\">8 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\">40-50</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\">Apartment Complexes</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter text-align-center\"><em><sup>Total loading capacity may vary.</sup></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>As previously stated, the amount of waste and the type of waste your business produces are the two biggest factors when choosing the right dumpster size for your business' waste needs. For example, if you own a restaurant that tosses out more than 5 bags of trash each day, a 4 yard dumpster that's picked up once a week or twice a week may be your best option. On the other hand, if you own a retail store that rarely throws out food waste but produces a lot of paper waste and cardboard boxes to recycle, you may want to consider a small compactor that's emptied once or twice a month and large curbside trash bins emptied weekly for non-recyclable waste.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"find-hauler\">If you’re still unsure which dumpster size and pick-up schedule is right for your business, reach out to local commercial waste management companies for assistance. Their experience and knowledge of the industry makes them experts at estimating a business' pick-up needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>How to Find the Best Commercial Waste Hauler</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>In most cities, you have choices when it comes to choosing a commercial trash removal service.

Are you in charge of an estate or <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-efficiently-clean-up-a-foreclosure-or-eviction-property\" title=\"How to Clean Up a Foreclosure or Eviction Property\">eviction cleanout</a> and need to get rid of every single item throughout the entire house? Are you preparing to move and want to get rid of as much as possible before packing up your belongings? Has it been years since you've gone through your home and decluttered items you rarely use? Knowing what your goal is and the type/amount of items you'd like to get rid of will help you plan for how you'll dispose of these items.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The next thing you should do is create a schedule. Do you have a deadline that this project needs to be done by, or can you take your time and work on it whenever is convenient? Are you someone who likes to dedicate a whole week/weekend to see a project to its completion, or do you like to work in sections and tackle one area at a time with breaks in between? Having a rough idea of what you want your project schedule to look like will help you create a plan, which is critical for a successful home cleanout. If you have a hard time deciding where to start, create a map of your home and label each room with a rating of 1-5: 1 being the easiest to clean and 5 being the most difficult to clean.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/cost-to-clean-out-garages-basements-attics-houses\" title=\"How Much It Costs to Clean Out Your Garage, Basement, Attic, or Entire Home\">Basements and attics</a>&nbsp;used for storage of things that have piled up over the years are great contenders for a 5 rating, while smaller rooms that are used and organized often, like bathrooms, will be easier to clean out and can get a lower rating of 1. Create a list and order your rooms based on their difficulty level to help you decide which rooms to start with and which rooms to end with. You can either decide to tackle the most difficult rooms first and save the easy rooms for last, or vice versa. Whatever you find most motivating is the path you should take.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"kitchen\">Before you get started, you'll want to have a way to dispose of or organize the items you're removing. Do you plan on throwing everything away? Will you be donating or trying to sell some valuable or gently used items? Unless you plan on throwing everything out, you'll want to make sure you have boxes or bags to organize your items that can be donated or sold so that they aren't mistakenly mixed in with all the junk you plan on trashing.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Kitchen Cleanout</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Unorganized kitchen tools, expired pantry items, mismatched or chipped dishes, and messy cabinets can make a kitchen look and feel like a stressful, cluttered mess. Even the dirtiest kitchen cleanout can be completed with minimal stress and relative ease if a plan is established before you begin. The first thing you should do is determine what you want to get rid of. Are you getting rid of everything in the kitchen, or just the junk you no longer use? Maybe you're moving and you want to keep the basics and get rid of all the food. Whatever your goal is, establish it before diving in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you're handling an estate cleanout, eviction, or are moving out, start by going through all cabinets and drawers and create three separate piles: one pile of items to keep, one to donate, and one to throw away. If you aren't moving and are just doing a basic <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/5-easy-steps-to-declutter-and-organize-kitchen\" title=\"5 Easy Steps to Declutter and Organize Your Kitchen\">kitchen cleanout</a>, you can keep the items you're not getting rid of in the drawers and cabinets for now, but remove any items that can be donated, sold, or thrown away and place them into respective piles.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you need to get rid of one or more kitchen appliances, consider <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-appliance-removal-works-and-average-costs\" title=\"How Appliance Removal Services Work and Average Costs\">hiring a junk removal company</a> to do the heavy lifting for you. In addition to appliances, they can also remove your bags or boxes of unwanted items throughout the house, allowing you to get rid of all your junk in one fell swoop. One step further, junk removal companies can even help with the aftermath of a kitchen remodel and any interior demolition that happens as a result. They can haul away any debris you have in addition to any appliances and furniture you need hauled away as well.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.hometowndemolitioncontractors.com/near-me/residential-interior-demolition\" title=\"Find Residential Interior Demolition \">Find local interior demolition contractors</a> to help with your kitchen remodel by searching on Hometown Demolition.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once you've removed all the items you no longer want to keep, it's time to clean and organize the remaining items.&nbsp;If the kitchen is completely cleared of all items, cleaning should be generally straight forward, and we recommend working from top to bottom.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Start by dusting any fans or light fixtures and cabinets anchored on the top half of the kitchen. Then, clean bottom cabinets, drawers, or other storage areas. For your drawers and cabinets with food and items still in them, and the refrigerator, remove the items to clean the area they're stored in, and then be sure to place them back in their respective \"home\" in a neat and orderly fashion.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From there, you can clean the insides of your kitchen appliances, like microwaves, refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers if necessary. Once all the interiors of your kitchen have been cleaned, clean all the remaining surfaces in your kitchen, like the countertops, outsides of your appliances, and the floors.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"living-room\">If you're taking breaks between the different areas of your home, you should find a disposal solution for your piles of garbage and junk right away so that you aren't living amongst the piles.&nbsp;Items that can be donated can be dropped off at <a href=\"https://www.goodwill.org\" title=\"Goodwill\">Goodwill</a> or <a href=\"https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/\" title=\"The Salvation Army\">The Salvation Army</a> during business hours. Garbage can be placed in your trash bin, unless there is a very large amount of items to throw out. If it won't all fit in your garbage bin, you should consider renting a dumpster and tackling the rest of your home as soon as possible.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-find-dumpster-rental-near-you\" title=\"How to Find a Temporary Dumpster Rental Near You\">Dumpster rentals</a> are an affordable and efficient way to manage a home cleanout project and can take the stress out of figuring out the disposal aspect of your project.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Living Room Cleanout</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Cleaning out your living room can be handled in the same way that a kitchen cleanout is approached, but it will likely take you less time.&nbsp;Living rooms aren't typically rooms we use for storage and instead tend to be a less cluttered living space in comparison to kitchens, basements, and bedrooms.&nbsp;That said, if you have a large, old entertainment center with hundreds of DVDs, games, or other items, you'll certainly want to take the time to go through and organize these items and get rid of things that are no longer used.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Old furniture or technology can sometimes be sold, donated, or given away for free, but may need to be hauled away to a landfill if they are too worn to be salvaged. In this case, a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/rent-a-dumpster-or-hire-a-junk-removal-company\" title=\"Rent a Dumpster or Hire a Junk Removal Company?\">dumpster rental or junk removal company</a> is your best solution. Even if you have a truck that can haul it to the landfill yourself, you'll likely need to make several trips by the time you're done cleaning out your entire home.&nbsp;Some cities allow you to place large furniture items at the end of your driveway for pickup, but you have to pay for this service ahead of time and make arrangements with your trash pickup provider to avoid being fined.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Learn more:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li id=\"bedroom\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/guide-to-getting-rid-of-furniture-during-home-cleanout\" title=\"Guide to Getting Rid of Furniture During a Home Cleanout\">Guide to Getting Rid of Furniture During a Home Cleanout</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-junk-removal-companies-help-with-e-waste\" title=\"How Junk Removal Companies Can Help with E-Waste Disposal\">How Junk Removal Companies Can Help with E-Waste Disposal</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/furniture-and-appliance-removal\" title=\"The Best Ways to Get Rid of Furniture, Appliances, and More\">The Best Ways to Get Rid of Furniture, Appliances, and More</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Bedroom Cleanout</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>As with every other room in your home, the first step to cleaning out a bedroom is to determine what your goals are and what needs to go.&nbsp;If it's been a while since you've cleaned out your bedroom (or your children's), there may be items stored in the back of closets or dressers from years ago. A good place to start in a bedroom is the closets. Not only are the closets where most of our clutter and unused items are stored, but once your closet is emptied and reorganized, you'll likely find that you have space to store the items that were previously shoved underneath the bed or scattered on top of dressers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you store all of your clothes in your bedroom, consider <a href=\"https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/household-hints-tips/cleaning-organizing/how-to-organize-seasonal-clothes.htm\" title=\"How to Organize Seasonal Clothes\">separating your wardrobe</a> based on seasons. If it's currently a warmer season and you have winter coats, jackets, and shoes taking up valuable space in your closet, consider boxing up your winter wardrobe and storing it elsewhere to make your closet more manageable and functional. Doing this will automatically require that you go through your closet twice a year to swap out your wardrobe, conveniently making it a bi-annual habit of sorting through your bedroom storage and helping you keep your closet under control.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"bathroom\">When you're struggling with deciding what to keep and what to get rid of, consider when the last time it was that you used or wore the item in question. If it's been 6+ months, it's probably safe to donate or throw away.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Bathroom Cleanout</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Bathrooms should be relatively easy to clean out as they tend to be smaller and the storage in bathrooms tends to be for items that we use regularly, if not daily. Take the same approach as you did with your kitchen cleanout and start with the top of the bathroom and work your way down to lower cabinets, drawers, and storage areas.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>If you're someone who enjoys accumulating cosmetics and has a hard time getting rid of these items and storage of these items has now become an issue, you should start your bathroom cleanout with these items.&nbsp;</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"attic\">Many <a href=\"https://www.realsimple.com/home-organizing/makeup-expiration-dates-guide\" title=\"A Complete Guide to Makeup Expiration Dates\">cosmetics have expiration dates</a>, so be sure to check for dates on your makeup. Most makeup products shouldn't be kept for longer than 6-12 months.&nbsp;Keep in mind that toiletries or cosmetics of any kind should never be donated unless they are completely unused and unopened, so if you have half-used products that you'd like to get rid of, be sure to throw away the product and recycle the containers when possible.</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2 class=\"text-align-center\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/near-me/appliance-removal\" title=\"Appliance Removal Near You\"><strong>Appliance removal near me</strong></a></h2>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2><strong>Attic Cleanout</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>For the average homeowner, the attic is the least visited part of their house, making it an ideal breeding ground for dust or an undiagnosed mold or vermin infestation. This is why you should wear protective gear when sorting through your piled up boxes in the attic. An <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-declutter-an-attic-efficiently-and-safely\" title=\"How to Declutter an Attic Efficiently and Safely\">attic cleanout</a>, more than any other space in the house, should be an area that you tackle with a partner. There are risks associated with climbing up and down attic stairs or a ladder, combined with the poor ventilation and heat risks of working in an attic.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When cleaning out an attic, the best strategy and is to start by either removing all items or moving all items to one end of the space so that you can go in and do some deep cleaning before working in the area. Sweep, dust, and vacuum the attic top to bottom before sorting through everything that is stored in there.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even if you only use your attic for storage and don't plan on getting rid of anything, it's still important to periodically go through the items that are kept in there to ensure that there is no water or pest damage to the items you're storing in there. It's common for people to store family heirlooms or photographs in their basement or attic, and since these items are sentimental, you want to check on them often to ensure they're still in good shape.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"basement\">If you're removing everything from the attic, consider <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/when-hiring-a-junk-removal-company-is-the-best-choice\" title=\"When Hiring a Junk Removal Company Is the Best Choice\">hiring a professional junk removal company</a> to eliminate the risk of injury. Navigating ladders or attic stairs can be dangerous on its own, let alone with the added obstacle of removing and hauling boxes and other heavy items. Hiring a junk removal crew to clear our your attic will cut down the time it takes you to complete your project significantly.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Basement Cleanout</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/step-by-step-guide-to-basement-cleanouts\" title=\"A Step-by-Step Guide to Basement Cleanouts\">Cleaning out your basement</a> will follow the same strategy as all other rooms: establishing a plan, sorting through the area in sections, and separating items into piles to keep, donate, and trash. Working on a large area, like a basement, in sections will help you stay on track and will make it less likely for you to get overwhelmed throughout the process.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If your basement is unfinished, dusty, and full of cobwebs, we recommend taking the same approach as you would for an attic cleanout by being prepared with protective gear like gloves, boots, and masks for protection. If you have to remove everything and haul it up one or more flights of stairs, consider hiring a junk removal crew, or at the very least, recruiting help of your own. If you want to avoid handling this dirty job altogether, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/near-me/basement-cleanout\" title=\"Basement Cleanout Services Near Me\">basement cleanout companies</a> can assist you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When reorganizing your belongings, keep like items together for easy access. For example, keep holiday decorations in one central location, family keepsakes in another, etc.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"garage\"><strong>Read on:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/make-your-basement-clean-and-beautiful-for-less\" title=\"Make Your Basement Clean and Beautiful for Less\">Make Your Basement Clean and Beautiful for Less</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/get-rid-of-basement-junk\" title=\"How to Get Rid of Junk in Your Basement\">How to Get Rid of Junk in Your Basement</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Garage Cleanout</strong></h2>\r\n<img alt=\"Messy unorganized garage\" data-align=\"center\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"fbc4e7e3-2433-42a0-84da-900784f101fb\" src=\"/static/4dc537372a93b0d33f8a16d8b3209ed4/messy-garage.jpg\" />\r\n<p>While accessing a garage typically doesn't require walking up and down flights of stairs, a similar approach should be taken to a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/fastest-way-to-clean-out-garage\" title=\"How to Clean Out a Cluttered Garage Fast\">garage cleanout</a> as you would a basement cleanout. Garages can be a host for bugs and other pests and should be sorted through carefully. It's also common for garages to store different types of flammable or otherwise dangerous chemicals, like gasoline, fertilizers, oil, lighter fluid, paint, and other car fluids. It's also not uncommon for sharp or rusty metal to be found in garages, like nails, tools, and other metal surfaces.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"yard\">Use caution and protection when sorting through your garage, but utilize the same strategies that you use throughout the rest of your home but removing items you no longer want or need, and then cleaning and organizing the remaining items, being sure to keep like items in the same area. You can organize your garage to have a section for lawn care items, an area for tools and equipment, and area for car items, and an area for toys and other leisure activities.&nbsp;If you want to avoid handling your dirty garage cleanout, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/near-me/garage-cleanout\" title=\"Garage Cleanout Services Near Me\">garage cleanout services</a> are a great option.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Yard Cleanup</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>A well-landscaped home can be worth 5.5-13% or more than a comparable home without landscaping, so when you take on a full home cleanout, don't overlook your yard. The first step to cleaning up your yard is to have a disposal plan in place. Most yard waste like grass clippings, twigs, and weeds can be <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/complete-guide-to-composting-your-trash\" title=\"Complete Guide to Composting Your Trash\">composted</a>. If you don't have a place to compost your yard waste and have a lot of it, consider renting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal company to haul away your collected yard waste for you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to cleaning up your yard, start by collecting and bagging any litter that has blown into your yard. If you have lawn equipment, furniture, or toys, put them in their proper place. Next, you can scan the yard for any twigs, sticks, and branches and either bag them up or place them in a bucket that you can later use as kindling later. While you're scanning the yard for sticks, also keep your eyes peeled for any rocks or stones that are large enough to disrupt the mowing process.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From there, you should start weeding, either by hand or with the aid of a weed killer if the issue is widespread across your yard. Once the yard is cleaned up, spruce up your shrubs, bushes, and trees by trimming them when needed and giving them a nice shape. After all aspects of your yard have been manicured, top it off by mowing your yard and then using a leaf blower to clear off the driveway, sidewalk, and patio from any debris.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/near-me/yard-waste-removal\" title=\"Yard Waste Removal Near Me\">Professional yard waste removal services</a> are a great resource for people who would like assistance with the entire yard cleanup or simply a pile of yard waste debris.

If you're someone that likes to cut costs, then a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/near-me/temporary-dumpster-rental\" title=\"Temporary Dumpster Rental Near Me\">temporary dumpster rental</a> may be the option you prefer.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you plan on going the DIY route rather than hiring a full-service junk removal company, hauling it all to the landfill yourself may not be a feasible or desirable option, let alone the most cost- and time-effective.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/renting-a-dumpster-for-home-cleanouts\" title=\"Renting a Dumpster for Home Cleanouts\">Renting a dumpster</a> is arguably the best way to manage all the garbage your home cleanout will produce. This is especially true when you know you'll need to get rid of large or bulky items like old appliances, electronics, light fixtures, furniture, etc.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The convenience of having a dumpster on hand compared to having to haul individual truckloads to your local landfill yourself will have a significant impact on the time it takes you to complete your home cleanout project. For perspective, a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-much-does-a-20-yard-dumpster-hold\" title=\"How Much Does a 20 Yard Dumpster Hold?\">20 yard dumpster holds</a>&nbsp;around 10-12 pickup truck loads' worth of items, not to mention you won't have to wait in line for potentially hours for your chance at damaging your vehicle or popping a tire at the landfill.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you'd rather have more help, junk removal services are the way to go. Experienced junk removal companies that offer home cleanout services have the ability to empty out a large home full of unwanted items, donate salvageable items to local charities, recycle items that are accepted in recycling projects, and dispose of the rest - all in a time-efficient manner.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Junk removal companies have the equipment and manpower to remove heavy items up and down flights of stairs and make it easy to get rid of all your unwanted junk so you can focus on cleaning and reorganizing the items you plan on keeping.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Regardless of which service you decide will work best for your project, you'll likely get the best price and the best service by working with a locally-owned and operated company.

Businesses that produce slightly more debris, like busy restaurants, apartment complexes, gas stations, and larger retail stores, will likely need a larger dumpster, like a 6 yard or 8 yard container.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"prices\">If your business produces a lot of trash or recyclable debris, a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/find-the-right-commercial-trash-compactor-for-your-business\" title=\"Find the Right Commercial Trash Compactor for Your Business\">commercial trash compactor</a> may be a better option for your company. Just like commercial dumpsters, commercial compactors come in a wide range of sizes, too, from 4 yards to as big as 40 yards. A 40 yard trash compactor, for example, is ideal for large facilities or warehouses, like Lowe's, Walmart, etc. If a business has to process many tons of recyclable materials, like cardboard, large commercial compactors are the most efficient way to handle it.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Commercial Dumpster Rental Prices</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Commercial dumpster rental service costs are directly related to a number of factors, including the size of the container, how frequently the dumpster is emptied, where the container is located, and who you hire to handle your commercial waste management.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The larger the dumpster, the higher the cost. Similarly, weekly pick-ups will cost more than bi-weekly pick-ups. And if your business is located in an area with a high cost of living, like a busy metropolitan area, then you can expect your dumpster service fees to be more than it would be for the same dumpster size and the same pick-up frequency in an area with a lower cost of living.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The average cost for commercial dumpster services is <strong>$100-$200</strong> per month for weekly pick-ups.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here's a closer look at commercial dumpster rental costs by dumpster size...</p>\r\n\r\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Commercial Dumpster Size</strong></td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Average Monthly Cost</strong></td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">2 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">$100-$125</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">4 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">$120-$145</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">6 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">$135-$160</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">8 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">$175-$200</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><em><sup>Prices in your market may vary</sup></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Be aware that other fees may apply in addition to your dumpster's monthly service charge, so always inquire about possible additional fees and charges with the commercial dumpster companies you speak to.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"pick-up-schedule\">Because contracts may be required in many instances.

That pick-up schedule can be as frequently as multiple times a week to bi-weekly. Most commercial trash companies are willing to work with you to meet your company's needs, no matter how frequently or infrequently you need you dumpster emptied.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In most cases, business trash pick-up services occur once per week, with the option for additional pick-ups available by request.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Oftentimes, businesses have a busy season and a slow season. The company you choose to work with for your commercial waste needs should be willing and able to provide pick-ups that satisfy your trash management needs regardless of the time of year. If it's not uncommon that your waste removal needs vary throughout the year, be sure to discuss this with each company you reach out to for service estimates.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The most common commercial dumpster pick-up schedules are:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Weekly — A weekly pick-up schedule is ideal for restaurants and gas stations that dispose of food waste or produce more than 2-8 cubic yards of debris every week.</li>\r\n\t<li id=\"right-dumpster\">Bi-weekly — A bi-weekly pick-up schedule is most common for small retail stores and other local businesses that do not deal with food waste on a regular basis and do not produce more than 2-8 cubic yards of debris&nbsp;every two weeks.</li>\r\n\t<li>Monthly — A monthly pick-up schedule is most common for companies or organizations that don't utilize their dumpsters often or consistently throughout the year. With monthly pick-ups, you're able to schedule additional pick-ups as needed, granting you maximum flexibility.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>How to Choose the Right Dumpster for Your Business</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The first step to determining the right commercial dumpster size and schedule for your business is figuring out roughly how much waste your business produces on a weekly basis and what types.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here are some examples of which dumpster size is right for different types of companies...</p>\r\n\r\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\"><strong>Dumpster Size</strong></td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\"><strong>Average Number of Trash Bags Dumpster&nbsp;Holds</strong></td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\"><strong>Best for</strong></td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\">2 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\">10-20</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\">Small retail shops</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\">4 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\">20-30</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\">Gas stations</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\">6 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\">30-40</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\">Restaurants</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 226px;\">8 yard dumpster</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 282px;\">40-50</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"width: 289px;\">Apartment Complexes</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter text-align-center\"><em><sup>Total loading capacity may vary.</sup></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>As previously stated, the amount of waste and the type of waste your business produces are the two biggest factors when choosing the right dumpster size for your business' waste needs. For example, if you own a restaurant that tosses out more than 5 bags of trash each day, a 4 yard dumpster that's picked up once a week or twice a week may be your best option. On the other hand, if you own a retail store that rarely throws out food waste but produces a lot of paper waste and cardboard boxes to recycle, you may want to consider a small compactor that's emptied once or twice a month and large curbside trash bins emptied weekly for non-recyclable waste.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"find-hauler\">If you’re still unsure which dumpster size and pick-up schedule is right for your business, reach out to local commercial waste management companies for assistance. Their experience and knowledge of the industry makes them experts at estimating a business' pick-up needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>How to Find the Best Commercial Waste Hauler</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>In most cities, you have choices when it comes to choosing a commercial trash removal service.
