Landscaping Your Yard This Summer? Here’s How a Dumpster Can Help!

Every homeowner needs to landscape their yard as the weather warms up. However, it can take days or weeks. A dumpster rental helps you get the job done faster, is more cost-efficient, and ensures safety. 

Efficient Job

A landscaping dumpster rental can instantly make every landscaping job more efficient. You can easily throw debris into a dumpster instead of making multiple trips to the town dump with your truck. You won’t have to walk as far with debris because dumpsters can be dropped off closer to the yard. The convenience of a dumpster instantly saves you time. 

Cost Effective

Dumpster rentals often cost more in the short term but save you money in the long term. Trash companies typically don’t take yard waste or may charge extra fees for more waste. Homeowners remodeling their backyards must pay additional fees to throw away construction debris. 

Many homeowners search for other ways to eliminate waste, but these also come with a cost. Dumping yard waste anywhere can often result in fines and legal charges for illegal dumping. Burning trash is frequently unlawful, and homeowners must invest in a fire pit and the proper permits. 

Using a dumpster rental for landscaping projects simplifies things by letting you throw all your waste in one container. You don’t have to worry about legalities, and you’ll save money compared to paying for multiple trips to the dump. Many dumps charge per item or truckload, and you must pay for gas to get there. 

Safety Reasons

Landscaping projects can leave your yard with safety hazards, and it may be hazardous to break down waste to throw it in a trash bag or truck bed. Homeowners risk: 

  • Power Tool Injuries: Breaking down waste or large branches often requires using a chainsaw or other power tools. The vibrating motion can strain muscles. Dumpsters provide a larger area where waste can be thrown. 
  • Fall Hazards: Leaving debris around the yard until you take it to the dump can instantly put everyone in the house in danger. People can trip and fall over the debris, causing everything from bruises to broken bones. 
  • Puncture Wounds: Much debris will have nails or sharp spots on branches. This can easily lead to puncture wounds, requiring a hospital trip and tetanus shots. The medical bills from this incident can cost thousands.
