Residential Family Dumpsters

Are you a landlord looking for dumpster solutions for your tenants? Or perhaps you are working on a rehab or remodel project where you need to supplement your typical trash with a rental dumpster during your project?

Take that worry off your shoulders with a rental from Big Daddy Dumpsters.

We can deliver a dumpster to your site, and leave it as long as you need it in order to meet the needs of your residents and your workers.

Residential family dumpsters in a variety of sizes

Being a landlord means that the start and end of each month are a real stress on your trash service. As people move in and out, they generate an enormous amount of trash.

Sure there is the trash from everyday life – food waste, fast food containers, shopping packaging and more, but then there is trash from the move itself.

This can include almost anything: cleaning materials and packaging, discarded furniture, packaging from new furniture and electronics, old rugs, clothing, broken toys … anything a person might accumulate over the course of a lifetime they are likely to discard in the course of a move.

And you are tired of seeing trash piled up beside your dumpster, with your trash removal service refusing to increase their visits, or charging high rates.

Getting the right size residential family dumpster can help your property look clean and cared for even in those challenging end of the month moving periods.

But only you know how much dumpster space your renters will need.

Look at your books and make the call

While it is impossible to guess how much trash one particular move will generate – people are very different after all – you can use your expertise to anticipate how big of a dumpster you will need.

How many residents will be moving this month? This is something you might be able to anticipate.

What does an “average” move look like, in terms of the demands on your dumpster? This is something you should know from even a little experience.

And also, round up. A partially full dumpster is still neater looking and more appealing than any amount of trash sitting on the ground next to a full dumpster. You should always round up when anticipating how much dumpster space you will need from your residential family dumpster.

I Need a Big Dumpster

Do you ever say to yourself, “I need a big dumpster?”

Maybe you’re looking at a large mess you have to clean up, or you are planning a construction or development project that is going to make more trash than your curbside service can handle.

If you need a big dumpster, you should turn to the bid daddy of dumpsters: Big Daddy Dumpsters.

Our smallest dumpsters are big dumpsters

At Big Daddy Dumpster, we start at “big dumpster” and go up from there.

Our smallest dumpster is a “10-yard” dumpster. And it’s a big dumpster. Really big.

Measuring 8 feet wide and 12 feet long and 3 feet deep, the 10-yard dumpster holds 10 cubic yards of debris or other approved waste.

That’s enough for a household project like a basement cleanout or renovation, or drywall work in the attic.

Many home owners who take on projects around the house find this the perfect size for their project. And with new, convenient 3-day rentals, this is perfect for the 3-day weekend patio teardown and rebuild in your future.

Our medium dumpsters are big dumpsters

Also, our medium dumpsters are pretty big dumpsters too.

Measuring 8 feet wide and 14 feet long and 4 feet deep, the 15-yard dumpster holds 15 cubic yards of whatever you need hauled away from your worksite.

Perfect for medium-sized projects that involve contractors or multiple workers, the medium dumpster can be placed in a convenient location and left for longer periods of time, depending on the scope of the work to be done.

Are you redoing your roof? Do you have a multi-room project on tap? This is the perfect solution for your big dumpster needs.

Our big dumpsters are big daddy dumpsters

Our big dumpsters are not for the casual work-around-the-house sort of handyman or woman.

Instead, the biggest dumpsters are when you have a major project in front of you. Are you flipping a broken down house and need to gut the whole thing? Are you in charge of a construction site that is throwing off construction waste every work day for weeks at a time?

You need a serious, big daddy dumpster.

Measuring 8 feet wide and 14 feet long and 5.5 feet deep, the 20-yard dumpster swallows an amazing 20 cubic yards of refuse.

Set up a schedule to have it regularly replaced as you build a skyscraper or a stadium.

We can handle any job, no matter how big.

It Feels Spectacular to Clean!

It Feels Spectacular to Clean!

A lot of the time we focus on the work of cleaning. The how-to. Where to start, where to end. Who to invite.

Which spaces to clean …

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the details of the best tools to take down drywall, or the quickest way to remove old lumber, or places to take your recyclable goods.

We’ve even gotten distracted with a lot of information about how to get rid of items that are not safe to put in your dumpster.

But we have neglected to tell you just how good it feels to clean a space.

Cleaning liberates you

Finally cleaning a spot that has been tormenting you is a liberating feeling. Whether it is a garage that you haven’t been able to pull a car into, a room with an unsightly bulges in the drywall or ceiling, or a basement that has become a maze of shelves and broken objects, cleaning can help free your mind.

A clean space is a new space, and new spaces bring us new life.

Your mind races with possibilities. What can this place become? Only you hold the answer to that timeless mystery.

Interestingly, even as you were ignoring or pretending not to notice the space that needed cleaned, it weighed on you. When free time was available, you thought about the space and you wondered if you should be cleaning it.

So cleaning a space like this means that not only have you freed up actual space in your home, but you have also freed up mental space to take on big new projects.

Cleaning feels terrific

When you have cleaned a new space and transformed it into something new, the rush of adrenaline and endorphins through your bloodstream is a jolt like no other. Completing a major home project can make you feel an accomplishment similar to winning a sporting event, or achieving an accomplishment at work.

Those same powerful juices flow through your body as you sweep up the last debris from a major project and look at your work.

This new blank slate is a burst of energy.

Cleaning simply makes you feel great.

So rent a Big Daddy Dumpster for your special project and get to work with some home therapy today!

It’s Time to Clean: Is Your Family Member a Hoarder?

It is likely by now that you have seen the popular show “Hoarders” on the A&E network. Nominated for an Emmy, and winner of a Critics Choice award, each episode focuses on one house where items have been piled dangerously high.

 

Or, more accurately, each episode focuses on one person. A person whose emotional baggage has prompted them to acquire a great deal of physical baggage.

 

Not surprisingly, the name “hoarder” has been used more broadly to describe people caretaking over all sorts of messes we might find in back rooms of old buildings, or in our aunt and uncle’s garage. We almost always mean it as a gentle joke.

 

But how can we tell when someone has crossed over the line from collector to hoarder?

 

Collector? Or hoarder?

 

The Hoarders website reminds us that “hoarding is a serious pathological condition.” That is, there is more to the hoarding than merely collecting a lot of stuff. But that is the primary symptom and it is visible to those who are closest to the person.

 

Here are some signs that point in the direction of hoarding. Remember, though, that observing the characteristics is very different from a diagnosis. Psychology Today reports that hoarding is often “affected by co-morbid factors such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression.” It is also likely that these issues were made worse by the isolation that came with the COVID quarantine.

 

You simply can’t diagnose a psychological disorder with a simple visual scan.

 

 

Signs to worry about

So what are the signs that, when you see them, should cause you to worry?

 

Collections gone wild

One sign of hoarding is when a person claims they are collecting something, but the collection is unrecognizable. The collected items are not visible beneath the piles of other items, and can’t be found easily or at all.

 

Safety concerns

In a house where hoarding is happening, there are obvious safety concerns. Piled items are at risk of falling on occupants, and key rooms like the kitchen or bathroom are unusable.

 

Health concerns

Is a serious hoard, there are concerns about pests or mold that is untreatable or unreachable. The risk is not imminent (like with something falling) but is nonetheless serious because mold and pests carry or can cause illness that will harm the occupant.

 

If you see two or more of these signs, you should seek help to approach your friend or relative.

Perfect Your Summer Cleanout With a Big Daddy Dumpster

Whether it is a basement, a garage, the storage room at church, or an entire apartment, your summer cleanout will be epic.

 

Pizzas, pop, chips, and a gross of trash bags means you;re off to a good start.

You need a dumpster that is one phone call away.

 

A Big Daddy Dumpster.

 

 

Dumpsters hold what Rumpke won’t take

 

Sure, the best thing about renting a Big Daddy Dumpster is the low price. And the convenience is great.

 

But getting to stack a wide range of trash inside, including damaged furniture and other items that curbside pickup won’t take in most communities, means all your trash can essentially go in one place.

 

Of course, there are always restrictions on items that might be considered hazardous waste, but the restrictions are few, and the possibilities are many.

 

Clothing, broken items including most electronics, non-recyclable metals, many engine parts, boards rotted from weather and water or simply age … all of these can go inside your rented dumpster.

 

And then they will be hauled away by our experts, and voila! Your cleanup is done.

 

So let your imagination run wild this summer. What can you clean? What’s the big task at work or at church or in your community that always seemed too much to tackle?

 

Who owns that lot you;ve been hoping would get cleaned up down the street? With a little cooperation, you could create a win-win event that brings the neighborhood together and leaves the place cleaner and more welcoming than ever.

Control Odors Don’t Just Cover Them Up

Sure, we all know that dogs have an amazing sense of smell. However, humans’ sense of smell is pretty remarkable. It helps us tell whether food is edible or not, whether we need to take a bath, and even if something nearby is on fire.

 

In short, it is a powerful sense that is tied to our most basic reactions and our amygdala. That is, some of our reactions to bad smells are instinctual, not learned.

 

So when our noses detect a foul odor nearby, we must investigate and eliminate it. If we don’t do that, we will find ourselves continually unable to concentrate and enjor or engage with other thighs we are trying to do.

 

Attack the chemical root of odor

The smells that cause us the most distraction are often biological, specifically bacterial. When we note these smells, we (rightfully) equate them with rot and illness, and our body reacts appropriately. And although we can eventually learn to live with even the most horrific smells, the biological basis for these reactions comes from centuries of avoiding deadly rotted food and illness-carrying water.

 

Luckily, the smells associated with rot can be treated in multiple ways.

 

For many smells, a mix of white vinegar and baking soda can help neutralize or eliminate the odor. This foaming mixture can be sprayed or splashed on an offensive outdoor stain, such as the spot where you have removed a dead carcass. Vinegar or baking soda can be used independently too, though the foaming mixture is more fun!

 

Sometimes the smell is something wet that can’t be drained and cleaned away. In that case, some sort of absorbent substance like kitty litter can be applied.

 

If you are certain that the smell comes from animal waste, an enzyme-based cleaner can be used to actively neutralize or eliminate the offensive smell.

 

Seal the smell away

 

Of course, a simpler way to eliminate odor is to trap it. Instead of treating every noxious surface with a chemical, throwing the whole thing in a sealed trash bag is simpler.

 

Simply take big scoops of the offending substance and dump it in the trash bag until it reaches its capacity.

 

Seal the bag correctly to finish the job. Instead of tying two sides together as some people do, tying one overhand knot in the neck of the trash bag prevents smelly air from escaping.

 

Then toss the sealed bag in your Big Daddy Dumpster to keep the neighbors happy throughout your project!

Spring Cleaning Time is Here! Take Care of Your Pets!

With the sun shining, days getting longer, and the snow finally melting under warmer weather, we can’t deny it any longer. Spring cleaning time is here.

Of course, our favorite is throwing a spring cleaning party! Who wouldn’t want to come over for that formal, jacket and tie affair! Ok, maybe not. However, here are some tips for keeping everyone you love safe and healthy during the spring cleaning bonanza.

Think about your pets before you spring clean

We don’t want you to forget these health and safety issues before you start cleaning. Because spring cleaning often means working with hazardous cleaning chemicals including ammonia and bleach, and it often means adding a fresh coat of paint, you’ll want to take special precautions to keep your beloved four legged companions safe.

Dogs

Dogs have especially sensitive snouts. Exposure to strong smells like bleach and ammonia can be irritating to them and can cause problems for days later. If at all possible, you should keep your dog outside and away from the work until the smell is essentially gone from the space. Then let your dog re-enter at his own speed, when he feels up to it. Some dogs might happily barge right back into a cleaned up space. Others might tentatively reenter a space and leave it multiple times, searching for remembered smells, and wondering why the place just is not the same as it was before.

Either way, it is important that you not force your dog back into a small space with a strong chemical odor. It may irritate or even harm your best friend.

Cats

Sure, it seems like your cat knows just how and when to get lost, and spring cleaning time seems like a time they’ll spend in the closet upstairs.You know your feline friend the best of all, but you might consider these concerns during spring cleaning.

Cleaning often means one or more people coming in and out of the house multiple times. If you’re laughing and talking or carrying things, your indoor cat might find this a great time to make a break for the outdoors.

Consider a cage or intentionally locking the cat in a comfortable room while the heavy work is going on. A little uncomfortable meowing is better than searching all evening for a lost companion. Or, worse yet, the guilt associated with stepping on a pet and potentially dropping a piece of heavy furniture or equipment.

Birds

You know the term “canary in a coalmine” but have you ever considered its origins? Miners used canaries to indicate when oxygen levels got too low for people. The canaries, ever more sensitive than us, died first.

Don’t let that happen to your birds during spring cleaning. If possible, remove them to a draftless spot in a trusted neighbor’s house, or in a room as far from the cleaning as possible. You don’t want to find out the hard way that the chemicals you were using were too harsh for your beloved and beautiful pets.

Caged and tanked pets

Again, our caged and tanked pets, being much smaller than us, are also more sensitive to changes in temperature and breathing in harsh chemicals.

Consider removing them to another location or, if that is not possible, cover the cage or tank and open the windows to make sure there is abundant air circulation.

With a little planning you can keep everyone safe during spring cleaning.

Dumpster Rental Prices

When you are planning a significant building or renovation project, you want to carefully consider all of the costs involved.

These costs include, but are not limited to, the materials you will need, the tools you will rent or purchase, and the labor costs if you are hiring help. Of course,even if it is just you and a few friends who are demolishing an old garage, there are the expenses of pizza and beer, or White Claw, depending on your friends.

There is one last expense to consider as well.

You may have initially thought that your project could end up on the curb, in garbage bags or a handful of rolling trash cans borrowed from neighbors. But you’re wrong.

Most curbside waste companies have strict limits on what you can take to the curb and what they will haul away on trash day.

Rumpke limits garbage day haul

Rumpke, Southwest Ohio’s largest garbage removal agency, has strict rules for what it can and can’t take away.

This includes rules for how much they will haul away from your job site or home on garbage day. Their rules cap hauling at six large, 32 gallon bins each garbage day.

Sure, that’s a lot of garbage! Most average families fill one of these a week. Some especially active families who eat out a lot more than others might need a second of these containers after a particularly busy week.

But still, that is a lot of garbage. And your project might call for this amount of waste removal, raising a second question. Where would you get six of these containers?

This means that in order to reach the maximum, you would have to invest in a few more cans than you already have, then keep and store them forever afterwards. Most people will find it easier to rent a dumpster instead.

A ten yard rolloff dumpster, our most common rental type, holds ten times as much as you can put curbside with Rumpke. This means that one curbside roller saves you from having to plan how to fill up and set out 6 bins each week for ten weeks.

Ten weeks of maximum garbage hauling fits in our smallest bin.

So Big Daddy Dumpsters does not just save you money, Big Daddy Dumpsters saves you that most precious commodity: time.

Check out Big Daddy Dumpster prices versus curbside

Here are the equivalent costs and sizes for the intrepid and determined do-it-yourselfer, assuming you start with one 32 gallon bin provided by Rumpke.

10 cubic yards = 5 x 32 gallon bins = $125 dollars  / 10 weeks

15 cubic yards = 5 x 32 gallon bins = $125 / 15 weeks

20 cubic yards = 5 x 32 gallon bins = $125 / 20 weeks

Can you imagine spreading your project out over several months, when you could have the convenience of getting a dumpster delivered, filled up, and hauled away in a matter of days?

We can’t either. Call today!
