Spring Cleaning Dumpster Rental: Your Complete Guide

Spring is prime time for major cleanouts. The weather's warming up, and you're ready to tackle the garage, basement, and yard. A dumpster makes it possible to clear months (or years) of accumulation in a single weekend.

Popular Spring Cleaning Projects

• Garage cleanout: 10-20 yard dumpster
• Basement decluttering: 10-15 yard dumpster
• Yard debris (winter cleanup): 10-15 yard dumpster
• Whole-house declutter: 15-20 yard dumpster
• Attic cleanout: 10-15 yard dumpster
• Shed/outbuilding clearing: 10-15 yard dumpster

Why Spring is Prime Time

• Weather is mild enough to work outdoors comfortably
• Natural motivation after being cooped up all winter
• Prepare for summer entertaining and activities
• Donation centers are well-stocked with volunteers
• Moving season prep (if you're planning to sell)

Spring Cleaning Dumpster Tips

• Book early: Spring is busy season — reserve 1-2 weeks ahead
• Check the forecast: Schedule around rain days
• Start with the worst area: Biggest impact, biggest momentum
• Sort before you dump: Donate what's still useful
• Involve the whole family: Everyone has stuff to purge
