Did you know that decluttering your home has the power to maximize its value and make it stand out against the competition?
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDecluttering and staging your home can increase its selling value by 15-20% on average and get it sold faster, too.
\r\n
In this guide, we'll discuss:
\r\n\r\nCleaning alone can deliver a 3-5% return on investment and is something you can do yourself, so make sure everything is looking its best during home showings.
\r\n\r\nRegular home maintenance, cleanliness, and minimizing clutter in your everyday life goes a long way when it comes time to sell but also in your day-to-day life, too.
\r\n\r\nIf you don’t keep up on regular repairs, you can expect to spend more money and time when it comes to prepping your home for sale.
\r\n\r\n![\"declutter](\"/sites/default/files/migrate_images/staged-home_0.jpg\")
\r\nWe also recommend doing everything you can to make your property look its best, not through expensive changes but through smart staging.
\r\n\r\nYour real estate agent will likely be able to provide some good insight into the best way to go about this and may even be able to bring in a professional if needed.
\r\n\r\nDeclutter, depersonalize, and tidy things up using your own possessions as much as possible.
\r\n\r\nRemember: Staging a home is different from designing or decorating a space.
\r\n\r\nStage your home for maximum sales appeal and to entice as many buyers as possible, not to meet your specific tastes.
\r\n\r\nTo make the decluttering or cleaning process easier, rely on junk removal services. Professionals can come haul away unwanted junk in no time, making it easy to get to the deep cleaning and staging process.

Competition is a beautiful thing for consumers in a capitalistic society, and this certainly applies when renting a dumpster from a local waste hauler.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGet quotes from three or more dumpster rental companies whenever possible to ensure you pay a fair price for quality customer service.
\r\n
Dumpster rental companies compete for your business.
\r\n\r\nYour city or town likely has several options when it comes to renting a dumpster.
\r\n\r\nThis may include the company that handles your weekly trash removal service, as well as other big name companies (e.g., Waste Management), and other local small businesses that specialize in dumpster rental and/or junk removal services.
\r\n\r\nConsider a smaller, locally-owned trash removal business when renting a dumpster.
\r\n\r\nWhy? Oftentimes you can get better service, schedule flexibility and lower prices.
\r\n\r\nAt Hometown Dumpster Rental, you can compare dumpster rental companies both large and small, established and new.
\r\n
\r\nFind the one that will work best for your needs by browsing local companies near you, reading customer reviews, and contacting multiple dumpster rental service providers for quotes.
Be sure to get quotes from multiple waste haulers, as prices can vary quite a bit.
\r\n\r\nGetting multiple quotes also allows you to compare the different companies in terms of which containers sizes they have available, delivery and pickup schedule, and evaluate if it is all a good fit for your project.
\r\n\r\nThere’s more to choosing a dumpster rental provider than simply choosing the one with the lowest prices. (More on that later.) But realize that by getting quotes from multiple companies, you can many times save 10% or more by doing the extra work.
\r\n\r\nThe cost of renting a dumpster varies by container size, location, and other factors.
\r\n\r\nA 20 yard dumpster rented for a 7-day period will generally cost in the $350 to $450 range, though it may be more or less in some cases. Finding a 5% or 10% savings can be a significant savings if you take a few extra minutes to check the rates of several local haulers in your area.
\r\n\r\n| Container Size | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Cost | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|
| 10 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$250-$450 | \r\n\t\t
| 20 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$350-$550 | \r\n\t\t
| 30 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$450-$650 | \r\n\t\t
| 40 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$550-$750 | \r\n\t\t

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAll junk removal companies have a minimum fee that they charge for their services that are reserved for the smallest, least complicated jobs.
\r\n
Minimum fees vary from company to company but typically range from $75-$100 based on U.S. averages.
\r\n\r\n![\"minimum](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/minimum-fees-info.jpg\")
\r\nEvery junk removal company has a base fee that they charge for their services and as the complexity of the project increases, so does the price.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe minimum fee a junk removal company will charge a client for their service is reserved for jobs that require the least amount of resources and space in their hauling vehicle.
\r\n
These projects usually involve the removal of 1-2 items, like a mattress or a couple garbage bags full of old clothing.
\r\n\r\nIt's important to note that the size of your single item removal won't typically affect a company's minimum fee.
\r\n\r\nFor example, if both a mattress removal or box of old toys equally qualify for a junk removal company's minimum service fee, you won't be charged less for the box of old toys just because it's a smaller item than the mattress. Minimum junk removal fees are the smallest amount a company is willing to charge to come haul away your single items and the price increases with each additional item you need hauled away.
\r\n\r\nMuch like the price of services, different junk removal companies will have different definitions of projects that qualify for their minimum fee.
\r\n\r\nThe national average minimum fee that junk removal services charge is $75-$100, but can be more or less depending on the cost of living in your area, disposal fees near you, and who you hire.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\n![\"Junk](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/mattress-removal_1.png\")
\r\nIf you only have one item that you need a junk removal company to remove, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be charged their minimum fee.
\r\n\r\nAppliance removal costs around $100 on average for a single item and usually adds around $30 per additional appliance in the same trip. So if a junk removal company's minimum service fee is $75 and you only have a single appliance you need hauled away, you won't necessarily qualify for their minimum fee. Appliances are heavy, usually require 2 workers, and often times require special handling. This all factors into the cost a junk removal company will charge to haul away single items like large appliances.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFurniture removal costs slightly more on average due to higher disposal fees at the landfill versus the cheaper fees to recycle appliances.
\r\n
You can expect to pay around $150 for a junk removal company to haul away your unwanted pieces of furniture, like a couch or dining room table.
\r\n\r\nIf you need to hire a junk removal company but only want to pay their minimum fee, having them remove recyclable items or items that can be donated will help you save on costs. The cheaper it is to dispose of your items, the better chance you have of saving on junk removal costs.
\r\n\r\nThe best way to get the best price for junk removal services is to get multiple quotes from locally-owned and operated companies in your area.
\r\n\r\nHometown makes it easy to find licensed and reputable junk removal services and request free quotes with our single quote request form. By simply entering your zip code and answering a few short questions about your junk removal needs, you'll be shown qualified companies in your area.

\r\n\r\nCost: Renting a construction bin is generally more time and cost-efficient than hauling the debris yourself. Landfill disposal fees average approximately $50 per ton, and that can add up quickly with construction and demolition debris.
\r\n\r\nEfficiency: You can get the job done faster when you rent a construction dumpster. It allows you to keep the job site clean and uncluttered, which makes it easier to maneuver around the site.
\r\n\r\nThe most common construction dumpster sizes are 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard containers. Sizes and availability vary by company, so check with a couple of different companies to get the size you need. Some rental providers specialize in compact dumpsters designed specifically for residential use (e.g., home renovations, remodeling projects, small cleanouts, and other small home projects).
