Summer is a popular time for people to buy and sell their homes so they can get their families in place for the upcoming school year. If you’re planning a big move this summer, that means you have some cleaning to do! Many times, we don’t realize how much stuff we accumulate over the years until we’re forced to go through it.

As you go through your closets, attic, and basement, there’s a good chance you’ll need a dumpster to dispose of all the stuff that won’t be making it to the new house. 

That’s where Sweitzer Waste comes in.

We offer roll-off dumpster rentals in a variety of sizes to help you with your moving projects or anything else you have planned this summer.

The team at Sweitzer Waste wants to share these tips to help you downsize and clear the clutter:

Take Inventory of What You Have

If you have boxes of items you packed away years ago, now is the time to take inventory of what you have. As you open each box, make piles for items you want to try to sell, donate, and for the things you want to keep. When it comes to the things you want to keep, be selective. If you haven’t used it in more than six months, or better yet, didn’t even know you had it, it shouldn’t make the cut for the move. The idea is to bring fewer items into your new home so that it is not cluttered. 

If you end up with a lot of items that can be sold, consider having a tag sale to make extra cash. Any items you are going to throw away should go in a pile that can be tossed into your dumpster rental from Sweitzer Waste. 

Don’t Rush

Prepare for your move as early as possible so that you’re not rushing through your items. 

While you don’t want to take hours going through one box, you also want to give yourself enough time to get through everything so each item ends up where it should. If you start rushing, you may either throw away items you don’t mean to or end up keeping too much stuff because you didn’t give yourself enough time to go through them.

Get Ready to Dispose of Your Items

Once you have everything ready to go, assess the number of things you have so that you rent an appropriately sized dumpster. At Sweitzer Waste Removal, we offer dumpsters in sizes 10-30 yards to suit all of your needs. If you’re not sure what size would be best, one of our friendly customer service members would be happy to help. We can also advise on the best location for the dumpster on your property so that it is safe and convenient. 

It’s usually best to have almost all of your items ready to dispose of so that you’re not renting your dumpster for longer than you need to. We make dumpster rental easy with our convenient rental and delivery process!
