One of the biggest challenges when determining which size of roll-off dumpster you should rent is figuring out how much waste you need to get rid of. For this reason, you should eliminate as much stuff as possible before selecting the size of your dumpster.
Sell, Donate, or Give It Away
Anything that is gently used, or even well-used but still in working condition, can be sold via online venues such as Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace locally, and eBay or any number of other venues online.
Giving away unwanted stuff can be a simple as moving it to the curb and putting a sign on it or advertising it on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or the Montgomery Freecycle site. In addition, several non-profits around town take new or gently used items such as:
- The Family Sunshine Center – New clothing, sheets, towels, small toys, journals, pens, and like-new furniture
- Habitat for Humanity – Lumber, drywall material, doors, windows, roofing materials, gutters, hardware, plumbing items, flooring, furniture, non-gas appliances, and much more.
- Helping Hands Thrift Store – Clothing, shoes, furniture, electronica, housewares, decorative items, toys, books, DVDs, appliances, sporting goods, and much more.
Recycle It
Recycling your items is always preferable to them ending up in a landfill, and there are many opportunities in the Montgomery area for recycling old, outdated, or broken items. Most of your standard recyclables, such as paper, cardboard, cans, and plastic, can be recycled within your City of Montgomery Sanitation Garbage Can. In addition, recycle other items such as appliances, batteries, electronics, paint, lightbulbs, and much more in many different areas throughout the city. Check out the City of Montgomery Recycling & Reuse Facility page for details about these locations.
Dispose of It
You can also take advantage of the Saturday Trash Drop Off program available at several drop-off points around the area from 9 am to 3:30 pm every first and third Saturday of each month.
When you have used all of these options to get rid of your extra junk, you now can see what you can’t get rid of and can accurately determine which size of roll-off dumpster rental might be right for you.
