Landscaping projects are an effective way to add curb appeal to your home and improve your outdoor spaces. Whether you’re planning a simple makeover for the garden or a large-scale landscaping renovation, you may wonder if you should rent a dumpster for all the yard waste. For help deciding, the following details the pros and cons of renting a dumpster for landscaping projects.
Pro #1: Efficient and Clean
Renting a dumpster for your project can be extremely beneficial. A dumpster will provide you with a designated spot for yard waste. It can hold tree stumps, limbs and other hard debris. You’ll stay organized, and your yard will be clean throughout your project.
Pro #2: Safe and Eco-Friendly
You’ll save time and effort thanks to the fact that you won’t be making multiple trips to the landfill. It’s also an eco-friendly way to remove all that yard waste. We take advantage of environmentally responsible ways to dispose of your debris when we pick up your dumpster rental. You’ll also be reducing your risk of accidents and injuries that may come with handling the disposal process yourself.
Con #1: Takes Up Space
A dumpster rental will take up a certain amount of space on your property. Since they do need a relatively large area, a dumpster may not be an option for your yard waste removal if you have a small yard or narrow driveway.
Con #2: Paperwork May Be Required
Depending on where you live, you may need a permit to have a dumpster rental on your property or the street. This requires an additional expense and more paperwork. Ask your local municipality or homeowner’s association about any regulations or requirements for dumpster rentals in your area. Not doing so could delay your landscaping project and result in a fine.
Con #3: Heavy Lifting
While we’ll deliver the dumpster rental and pick it up for you, there is a certain amount of self-service involved. You’ll be doing all the heavy lifting yourself. This could be difficult if you’re hauling heavy tree stumps or large branches. Loading your dumpster rental yourself takes time too. This could be a deterrent if you have physical limitations.
