The Best Bin Rentals For Large Property Cleanouts

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

Southern Ontario is a unique place because within 100 mile radius, you can experience just about every style of living. You can go from living in a dense heavily populated city in Toronto, to suburban living in Mississauga, Oakville, Brampton and the surrounding region, to smaller more intimate towns and even living on a farm. It is a great place filled with a diverse population that enjoys everything from condo living, to settling into life on a horse farm.

One of the benefits of living on a large property like a farm, or larger piece of land is that you can simply enjoy your outdoors. You can create it in any way you choose, and since you are far away from your neighbors, your outdoor space becomes an extension of your home.

Now that more and more people are able to work from home, living outside of a city makes even more sense. Your home buying dollar goes further, and you get to spend spring, summer and fall on your large piece of property and enjoy nature. You can even build on it and create a completely detached home office, so when you need some privacy from the main house, you can retreat to an office and focus on your work.

One of the downsides of large properties is that over the years they become magnets of unwanted stuff. If you take a walk around any farm house or large property you will find endless amounts of stuff just laying around against fences or in fields. It can be anything too from old bicycle frames, broken equipment, long forgotten about pieces of fencing and leftover material from renovation projects. It is everywhere and unfortunately it is not only an eyesore, it impacts the value of your home.

Getting rid of all of these bits of stuff and debris is a great way to give your outdoors a spring cleaning.

Depending on how much unwanted junk you have on your property, you will probably need at least a weekend or two to get rid of it all. You will also need two more things. A few good friends to help you out that are willing to work for bbq and some cold pops, and a roll-off disposal dumpster bin.

Your stuff has to be taken to a local recycling centre and disposed of safely and according to the law. That means it all has to go into a dumpster and safely be removed. You can choose from 4 different sizes of roll-off bins, and have it placed on your property in a location that is central to where you are working. Then when it is full, it can be hauled away and returned if needed for another load.

Once everything is removed from your property you will now be able to enjoy it clean and free of rusty unwanted junk and enjoy a nice increase in your property value. It’s a great way to start the summer with a fresh start and look.

Ordering A Dumpster Bin During Bad Weather

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

Here in Southern Ontario, we have been experiencing some rather unpredictable summer weather over the last few years. The weather patterns are changing, and this has resulted in sudden storms, or high winds that seem to come out of nowhere and tear our property apart. They blow down trees, tear off roofs and scatter debris all over our property which then knocks out our power and generally causes us a few days of chaos, and some insurance headaches.

These weather events can be anywhere between a clean up hassle, to a huge life event. Very frequently they can knock a tree down which then ends up falling into a person’s dining room, or tearing a roof to sheds, all within a few minutes.

If your property has been hit by strong weather, and you have to have repairs done you are going to need to immediately order a roll-off disposal dumpster bin.

The clean up process has to start right away, so crews can get onto your property and begin repairs. For example, if your roof has been partially torn off, and you have tree branches and other debris all over your property, you will need to clean out an area for them to get their vehicles and workers in so they can tear off your old broken roof and replace it. All of this has to happen quickly and efficiently so having your dumpster bin already on site when they arrive will save you a lot of time and money. This way they can simply dispose of all of the broken debris quickly and get to work on the new roof.

Your bin can then be removed quickly and taken to a local waste management recycling station where it is emptied and returned quickly so it can be filled with another load. This will allow your workers the ability to do their jobs with almost no disruption to their job, and your home will return to normal as soon as possible.

These new weather patterns are becoming more frequent, and commonplace, so make sure you have an emergency plan in place, including phone numbers and contact information for crews so if your property is hit, you won’t have to wait days or more to have repairs done.

Community Cleanups In Southern Ontario

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

We love this.

Many communities in Southern Ontario have come together over the last few years and started participating in community cleanups.

A community cleanup is essentially what it sounds like and you think it is. Basically in many towns and cities, local communities organize a day or weekend to get together and clean up their parks, streets, wildlife areas, rivers, schools and apartments. It is a lot like a block party, but with tools, rakes, brooms and garbage bags. It’s a great way for neighbors to get together, and even meet each other with the common goal of spending a few hours tidying up their communities. For example, maybe the local park needs a lot of work. Some bratty kids have painted graffiti on the playground, there is trash and debris everywhere, many of the trees have dangerously overhanging branches that need to be removed, and the landscaping needs some attention.

So the neighbors put a plan together on their local Facebook group, everyone brings their tools, a few people set up some coolers and a BBQ area and then after a few hours, the park looks great and everyone has a good time. It’s an amazing way to spend a spring or summer day, and give a little back to your neighborhood.

If you are planning something similar, you are going to need a roll-off disposal dumpster bin to haul all of the unwanted material and debris away. We have 4 different bins that you can choose from and order one or more online to be delivered at a scheduled time. We will then deliver it and place it on any hard flat surface on our custom made wooden planks. Then when it is full, we will haul it away to a local waste management recycling centre so everything can be disposed of according to the law. We will return the bin quickly, and you can refill it with another load.

When your neighborhood cleanup is done, and it is time for some BBQ and a few cold pops, your block will look great and you can probably expect a bit of a bump in your property value as well, and that’s something we can all come together and enjoy.

Cleaning Up All Of Your Organic Waste

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

Spring and summer in Southern Ontario are the perfect time to tackle that landscaping project and give your property a makeover. It will not only make your home more appealing, but it also increases the value of your home. Additionally, since we spend half our lives inside during the winter, we tend to move ourselves outside as much as possible during the warm months, so cleaning up your landscaping, maybe planting a new garden and fixing up your patio or deck is a great way to spend this season’s fixer up time.

Let’s say that you really don’t have a single project to tackle, but several small to medium sized ideas. For example, you have an old tree and some of those branches are dangerously hanging low near a fence and they need to come down. You may have a large hedge that needs pruning, the gardens need resoiling and planting, or maybe you’re even planning on growing some fresh veggies so you’re digging up a new garden. Plus the deck needs a new rail, and you want to replace the gutter on the house.

All of these are great, quick and easy ways to freshen up your property, and won’t cost a big load of cash.

When you decide to roll up your sleeves and tackle the backyard this year, you will want to rent a roll-off disposal dumpster. You may not think you will have much material to dispose of, but all of those projects add up quickly, and they create a massive amount of debris and unwanted material that has to be disposed of safely, and according to local and municipal laws.

You can order one of our roll-off disposal dumpster bins online, and we will deliver it to your home, and place it on any hard, flat surface on our custom made wooden planks, so it won’t leave a permanent mark. Then once it is filled, we will haul it to a local waste management recycling centre and return it if you still have more material that needs to go.

Then once the projects are all done, all you have to do is invite some family or friends over, fire up the BBQ and enjoy the rest of your summer.

The Benefits Of Installing A New Fence

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

Spring and summer in Southern Ontario means that we come out of our homes after months of being trapped inside like mole-people. This past year has been especially rough on all of us and we can’t wait to compete in our favorite summer sport: The summer bbq.

During the spring and summer, our backyards turn onto another room in our home. We spend our outside entertaining, working out, gardening or simply enjoying a good book under the warm Canadian sun. We love our backyards and we spend a lot of time, and money on them so they look great.

If you love your backyard like most of us do, you have spent a few dollars and many hours sprucing it up. However, if your fence is old, falling apart and generally in need of replacing, it is kind of like buying a brand new living room set and then putting it in a room with cracked and peeling stained wallpaper. If that is the case with your backyard, then maybe this is the season you make putting in a new fence your summer home renovation project.

A new fence has three key benefits, aside from simply looking good. A new fence locks in oxygen from trees and your lawn, which leads to a fresher smell and higher oxygen levels. It helps you breathe better, so if you have allergies, then a new fence will drastically improve the quality of your time that you spend outside.

It also increases the value of your property dramatically, so the moment your new fence is installed, and the work crew are pulling out of your driveway, you can expect a spike in the value of your home, which is especially great if you are planning on selling it in the near future.

It also has its privacy benefits because let’s face it, as the saying goes, fences make great neighbors.

When you remove your old fence, you will have a large amount of used and unwanted debris that will have to be taken to a local waste management recycling depot and disposed of according to the law. You can simply chop it up and burn it because of local bylaws, and you wouldn’t want to try it anyways, because your old fence has been treated with stain, paint and chemicals, so burning it would not only stank up the neighborhood, but potentially become a huge fire risk.

You can avoid all of that by hiring a roll-off disposal dumpster bin and have it placed in your driveway. That way your crew can simply tear down the old fence, and place everything safely into the bin and have it hauled away. This will help the project move forward quickly, and keep your costs down. Depending on the size of your fence, and if you have planned everything out, it should only take a day or two, so it is worth the small investment and have all of your material carted away in a dumpster bin.

Renting A Bin In The Summer

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

Summer in Southern Ontario is when we come alive, and ever since the pandemic hit us like a tidal wave our homes have increasingly become our refuge. However, global plague aside, we love summer because that is the time when we are able to get our hands dirty and really dig into those projects that we have been planning all winter long.

Homeowners in Southern Ontario love their properties, and we use them for everything in the summer from firing up the bbq, entertaining friends and family, hanging out on our patios or putting in a swimming pool. Summers are great, and we love spending them in our backyards.

Many of our customers are planning landscaping projects this summer, like they do every year. Summer is when the hammers start flying, and people are able to tear up the earth for fresh new landscaping, removing and renovating outdoor architecture, replacing their driveways, putting on a new patio or deck (in many cases removing an old one), digging a pool and the list goes on.

If this is your first time planning a landscaping project, then you probably have a to-do list. You will have contacted a few landscaping companies or specialist companies depending on your projects like driveways, patios, pools etc, received some quotes, pulled the permits and are gearing up for that exciting summer project that will breathe new life (and add value) to your home.

Since you are here on the Clean Er Up website and reading this article, then you have already had the foresight to plan ahead and think about what size of a dumpster bin you will need to remove all of that material. Here is our advice on what size dumpster to choose, and how we break it down:

It probably goes without saying that the size of the dumpster you will require is directly proportional to the amount, size and weight of the material to be removed combined with how many truckloads it will take to remove everything. For example, you know how much garbage fits into an average sized bag, and you know how much weight they can handle before you need to split the weight into two bags. The same is naturally true of a dumpster bin. For example if you are simply clearing old and tearing down an old shed, then you will probably be fine with our 4 yard or 10 yard bins. A shed is relatively small and light, but it is broken down into big pieces, so the bin size will depend on the size of the shed.

If you are preparing for a large scale project, like putting in a pool or removing an old patio and replacing it with a new one then you can simply skip ahead and order one of our larger 16 yard or 20 yard bins, and expect several truckloads to remove everything.

Projects of these scales create a massive amount of material. So much so that homeowners are always surprised at home much there is to be removed, so you don’t want to underestimate the amount of material we will be hauling away.

Fence Installation For Home Renovation Projects

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

Here in Southern Ontario, our winters can be ferocious. The wind, the ice, the freezing temperatures all wreak havoc on the exterior of our homes. Over time our roofs need replacing, our driveways need to be dug up and replaced, our decks begin to fall apart and our fences eventually need an upgrade. Thankfully these projects only happen every 10-20 years, but when they occur, we have to bite the bullet and get to work.

Spring and summer are naturally the best times to begin these projects. Aside from the weather being far more conducive to working outside, we don’t have to contend with things like snow and ice removal or frozen ground. Also, it is far easier to talk a few friends into helping you during the spring and summer with the promise of a few cold pops and a BBQ when everything is done.

There are many reasons to replace an old, worn down fence, or upgrade from your current one. You may have a chain link fence and therefore almost no privacy. Plus you may have a neighbor who enjoys sunbathing in his Speedos during the summer, and nobody wants to see that when the in laws are visiting. Or ever really. If this is the case, then you will love your new privacy fence.

If your fence has seen better days, then you will want to make this your project this spring or summer. You can have a beautiful home and wonderfully landscaped garden, but if your fence looks like it has been used for target practice, then not only does it diminish the work you have done on your home, but it also drastically lowers your property value.

Thankfully putting in a new fence is a straightforward renovation project, and there are many great companies that will do it for you for a reasonable price. Most of them are busy during the spring and summer, so you will want to book one early. Additionally, replacing that old fence means you are going to need to rent a roll-off disposal bin to remove the old pieces and transport everything to a local recycling centre. Much like fence builders, dumpster bin companies are very busy during the warmer months, so you would be wise to order a bin online early, and prearrange a time for it to be dropped off and picked up. This will help your project go quickly and smoothly so all the unwanted material can be easily collected and removed so workers aren’t impeded by piles of debris.

Renting a roll-off disposal bin is a vital component to any home renovation or construction project, because it keeps your work site safe, clean and free of unwanted material. Everything is disposed of according to the law in a recycling centre and you can book pickups and deliveries at a time that is convenient so you have one less thing to think about and can put your energy into the project itself.

The Perfect Dumpsters For Parking Lots

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

Let’s say you have started a new business and moved into the building. You hired an interior designer to make your new space both functional and welcoming to customers or clients, you have bought some great looking furniture and display pieces and your stock has arrived and is waiting to be sold neatly on your shelves. Everything is good to go and your livelihood is counting on doing brisk business. However, you have forgotten one small detail.

Your parking lot looks like Godzilla’s battleground and it needs to be replaced.

When you pull into any business, say for example a common strip mall so you can visit the convenience store, or laundromat, pizza place or local bakery, the first thing you see is the parking lot. If the parking lot spaces are too small, or there are potholes everywhere, the pavement is cracked and fading and it generally looks like it hasn’t been replaced since the 70’s, it is an immediate turn off. It tells you that the owner doesn’t care a great deal about the property, and if that is the case then what does that say about the donut shop that you are about to visit?

Putting a new parking lot in is a great way to invite customers and clients into your business, and contrary to many beliefs, it really isn’t a huge job. Most pavement companies can have it done fairly quickly and for a decent price that you can live with, and it is an investment that lasts for decades. For example, many parking lots were painted with spacing between cars that were smaller a few decades ago and don’t fit modern SUVs very well. They also become created, sun bleached and ravaged with potholes over time and when that happens, people who visit your business have a difficult time simply parking their vehicle and walking to your business. It looks bad and you should treat it like a leaky roof that needs fixing now, and not simply patched up for a later day.

When you replace that old busted up parking lot, you will need a roll-off disposal dumpster bin to haul away the chunks of pavement and concrete that have been dug up. You can choose from 4 sizes, but you will most certainly need the largest 20 yard bin and probably a few truckloads to remove everything. A 20 yard bin can handle 4 tons of material, and you will need it because you will be surprised at how much of it you will have when it is dug up. Your crew will also want it gone as quickly as possible, and returned so they can fill it again for another truckload with as little downtime as possible.

Putting a new parking lot in is a great way to welcome your visitors and dramatically improve the looks of your business. Depending on the size of your parking lot, it is generally a fairly quick project, and you will want to have it completed quickly, so make sure you have your dumpster bin schedule planned in advance so it can happen as seamlessly as possible.

Bin Rentals For Drywall

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

Home renovations in Southern Ontario are a spring and summer project for many obvious reasons, the least of which being you don’t want to live in a home that is a job site during the winter. Doors and windows constantly open, tools and hammers all day, dust and debris inside, plus workers coming and going when it is freezing outside. It is much easier on your construction crew and your own sanity to plan your renovation projects during the winter, and then when the weather warms up, you can carry them out easily and much more efficiently.

Homeowners have been reinventing their contemporary home by renovating their living space and turning their old living space into open concept designs. This is a great way to modernize an older home and drastically increase your property value.

Opening up your home to an open concept design means you are going to need to plan your waste management needs ahead of time. Rental disposal bin companies are at their busiest during the spring and summer, and you will most certainly need one. You are going to be removing a ton of drywall, wall framing, wiring, flooring, fixtures and debris and all of it adds up quickly.

All of this material has to be collected centrally in a dumpster bin that is placed somewhere for workers to easily access. This means that your works site runs smoothly, and will therefore be completed quickly and on budget. It also means a safer workspace and since your renovation is taking place while you are still living in your home, you want it to be as clean and safe as possible with as little disruption to your daily life as possible.

Drywall and framing alone will create a massive amount of waste material that needs to be removed and disposed of safely. When drywall and framing is broken down, it will still take up a lot of space in your bin, so you will want to order a large one. You can plan ahead by choosing one online and scheduling your order so that it can be dropped off and picked up at a prearranged time that is convenient for you and your work crews. Then, once it is full, the material can be removed and hauled away to a recycling depot and returned quickly so your crew can continue to work with as little down time as possible. Again, all of this planning ahead means a smooth project that is completed on time, which means it will finish on budget, and keep your home renovation from becoming an unorganized, stressful event.

Disposal Bins For Home Additions

Posted by Brandon Capela on with 0 Comment

If you are planning a home addition in St. Catharines, Ontario this spring or summer, then now is the time to book a roll-off disposal bin for your upcoming construction project.

Building a home addition makes a lot of sense. You can use it for almost anything from an in law suite, to home office, gym, home entertainment room or just about anything and spring or summer is the perfect time to do it.

Your home addition is going to require some level of demolition. You are going to need to remove walls, tear up landscaping and soil, tap into electrical and plumbing and also possibly have to reconfigure some load bearing structures in your home. All of this work means a huge amount of waste and unwanted material that will need to be removed in a roll-off dumpster.

Your home addition is a large scale project, and it won’t be completed in a week. You are going to need to plan well in advance so your project can run as smoothly as possible. You will want to think of it as a well orchestrated beehive of workers coming and going, materials being dropped off, permits being pulled and all of it has to happen as safely as possible, and according to local bylaws.

One of the very best to keep your project running smoothly is to schedule your disposal bin drop offs and pick-ups in advance. This way your disposal bin can be simply rolled off the truck and strategically placed where it can be easily accessed by your work crew. Then when it is full, it can be taken to the local waste recycling centre and returned quickly, so your crew has as little downtime as possible.

Your home addition will take weeks, and possibly more to complete, all while you are still living in your home and going about your daily life. Home renovation projects can become stressful on homeowners when they are unorganized because of the chaos they can create. We understand that our lives may be a little disrupted during the project, but if a project isn’t organized, it can have a negative effect on us.

Having your waste management plans in place ahead of time means you will have one less thing to think about. Your project will become a more organized, safer and cleaner workspace so your crew can get their job easier, and you won’t have the hassle of a workspace that is unorganized and unsafe.

Make sure your next home addition project runs smoothly and on budget by ordering your waste disposal bin online and schedule your pickups and deliveries. Your work crew will thank you and your project will be a lot less stressful so when it is completed you will love your new addition even more.
