Avoid Long-term Rentals if Possible</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Many dumpster rental companies will be accommodating and allow an extension of your rental for a small fee per day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>$10-20 doesn't sound like that much&nbsp;per day, but&nbsp;it all adds up.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you're renting in the middle of the busy season (spring and summer), rental extensions may cost more due to demand or may not even be available at all.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In many cases, the longer you have the dumpster on-site&nbsp;the heavier the load will become.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Similar to tip #4, it’s natural to toss extra junk or trash in a dumpster that is easily accessible and unfortunately, some strangers might agree.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"donate\">It is not uncommon to catch&nbsp;other people trying to <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/solutions-to-stop-others-from-illegally-dumping-trash-in-your-dumpster\" target=\"_self\">illegally dispose of their trash</a>&nbsp;in your rental (the nerve!)&nbsp;and the longer it sits on your property tempting neighbors or passersby, the more likely you are to have to deal with this problem.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>6.

Generally speaking, household waste, like furniture and general trash, weigh significantly less than construction and demolition debris, like concrete, brick, or roofing shingles.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Overloading a dumpster can incur overage charges or the dumpster company may refuse to haul the dumpster before it's unloaded to a safe weight. This is why it's important to estimate accurately and keep water out of your dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The chart below shows estimated weight ranges for full dumpsters based on type of waste. Your debris may weigh more or less than these averages, but this will give you a general idea of what to expect.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Weight of Household Junk in a Dumpster</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\r\n\t<thead>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<th class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Dumpster Size</strong></th>\r\n\t\t\t<th class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Average Weight</strong></th>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</thead>\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">10 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">0.5 -&nbsp;1.25 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">15 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">0.75 -&nbsp;1.9 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">20 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">1 -&nbsp;2.5 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">30 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">1.5 - 3.75 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">40 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">2 -&nbsp;5 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Weight of Construction &amp; Demolition Debris in a Dumpster</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\r\n\t<thead>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<th class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Dumpster Size</strong></th>\r\n\t\t\t<th class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Average Weight</strong></th>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</thead>\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">10 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">1.25 -&nbsp;5 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">15 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">1.9 -&nbsp;7.5 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">20 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">2.5 -&nbsp;10 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">30 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">3.75 -&nbsp;15 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">40 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">5 -&nbsp;20 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Weight of Roofing Debris in a Dumpster</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\r\n\t<thead>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<th class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Dumpster Size</strong></th>\r\n\t\t\t<th class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Average Weight</strong></th>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</thead>\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">10 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">3 - 3.75 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">15 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">4.5 - 5.25 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">20 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">6 - 7.5 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">30 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">9 - 10.5 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">40 Yard</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\" id=\"compare-quotes\">12 - 13.5 tons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Water's Effect on Dumpster Weight</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Water is heavy, and it can have a dramatic effect on the weight of contents within a dumpster pretty quickly. A&nbsp;quick rainstorm that comes through and drops an inch of rain can equate to more than 100&nbsp;gallons of water in a 40 yard dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Based on information provided by the <a href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/rain-and-precipitation\">U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)</a>, an inch of rainfall distributed evenly across the square footage of a typical 40-yard dumpster (22 ft L x 8 ft W)&nbsp;would equate to nearly 110 gallons of water.</p>\r\n<img alt=\"how rainfall impacts dumpster weight infographic\" data-align=\"center\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"6cee1ca1-3d7f-4212-9fc3-f128d1cd67fd\" src=\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/how-rainfall-impacts-dumpster-weight-infographic.png\" />\r\n<h3><strong>How much does 110 gallons of water weigh?</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Each gallon of water weighs approximately 8.345 pounds, which means 110 gallons of water&nbsp;weighs just under 917 pounds, or nearly half a ton. This kind of weight can chip away at your included weight limit, increasing the chances of you going over and getting charged extra.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As you can see, one steady rainstorm could be the difference between meeting a dumpster’s weight limit&nbsp;and exceeding it.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Exceeding a dumpster's weight allowance can lead to overage fees averaging $50 to $100 per ton.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>Porous materials, like drywall, wood, trash, and yard debris, soak up water more readily than nonporous materials, so take greater care to keep porous materials dry to ensure a lighter dumpster load.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Note:</strong> Some of the rain and moisture may drain out of the dumpster via drain holes&nbsp;and the door area, so this helps reduce the overall weight of the load but it does not eliminate the risk of going over your weight limit.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Learn more</strong>:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li id=\"keep-dry\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/roll-off-dumpster-prices\" title=\"Lower Your Cost to Rent a Dumpster in 2022\">Lower Your Cost to Rent a Dumpster</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-estimate-the-weight-of-a-dumpster-load-to-avoid-overage-fees\" title=\"Dumpster Weight Limits\">How to Estimate the Weight of a Dumpster Load</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>How to Keep Debris Dry</h2>\r\n<img alt=\"Waste and debris tarped to prevent getting wet\" data-align=\"center\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"904a8d6a-a940-47ea-9bbb-ce496bd66127\" src=\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/debris-tarped-to-keep-dry.jpg\" />\r\n<p>There are several strategies that will work to keep a dumpster load dry in just about any weather.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Wait for Dry Weather</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>If possible, your best bet is to wait to rent the dumpster when the forecast is showing dry conditions. However, if this isn't possible, make sure you are prepared.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Tarp It</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>If rain or snow is in the forecast, keep a large tarp on hand to place over the dumpster when not actively loading it. Some dumpster rental providers may be able to supply the tarp. Make sure to secure the tarp with rope or bungees to avoid it blowing away or shifting and allowing collected rain to fall into the dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Do not allow debris piles&nbsp;to sit uncovered outdoors while waiting to be loaded into the dumpster. As the materials become saturated, they can become much heavier, making it harder to load into the dumpster and increasing the total weight of the load. Tarp or cover debris piles sitting outside to prevent this.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Position Your Dumpster Strategically</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>It may be possible to place a dumpster inside a garage, barn or underneath other types of shelters to help keep it out of the elements. For larger dumpsters, this may not be possible, and some rental companies may not be able to accommodate this request due to equipment limitations.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Keep the Rental Period Short</h3>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"overage-fees\">Rather than allowing the dumpster to sit at your property for seven days (common rental period) or longer, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-rent-a-dumpster-for-a-day\" title=\"How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Dumpster for a Day?\">rent a dumpster for a day</a> or a few days&nbsp;to limit exposure to rain or snow. In some cases, a shorter rental period may also provide a discount depending on the rental company’s policies.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Average Dumpster Overage Fees</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Dumpster rental companies charge a fee for going over the dumpster's weight allowance. Dumpster overage fees&nbsp;are generally around $50 to $100 per ton, though these fees can vary based on each company's policy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even if the weight of the load exceeds the weight allowance by just a few pounds, the dumpster rental company can charge you the fee for a full ton. This is why it’s so important to keep the weight of the load as light as possible.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some dumpster rental companies have no weight limits, however there are limitations. In this case, rental providers generally need to know the type of debris, and you <em>must</em> follow the rules regarding how high the load can go in the dumpster. You cannot load debris and wastes above the top of the container.</p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"callToActionContainer\">\r\n<h3>Save time.

It can hold up to 3 cubic yards of waste, or 606 gallons.&nbsp;Because&nbsp;the Bagster is only 2 ft&nbsp;6 in. high, large bulky materials, like a sofa or other furniture items, are not going to fit well.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Bagster is a good choice if you have 3 cubic yards or less of debris and your individual items are on the small side.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>10 Yard Dumpster</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>As its name implies, a 10 yarder can hold up to 10 cubic yards of waste.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>10 yard dumpster&nbsp;dimensions vary by hauler, but a common size is&nbsp;12 ft&nbsp;long x&nbsp;8 ft&nbsp;wide x 3.5 ft&nbsp;tall.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Learn more:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li id=\"weight-limits\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-dumpster-sizes\" target=\"_self\">The Ultimate Guide to Dumpster Sizes</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndemolitioncontractors.com/blog/benefits-to-recycling-demolition-debris\" target=\"_self\">Benefits to Recycling Demolition Debris</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-choose-the-right-size-dumpster\" title=\"How to Choose the Right Size Dumpster\">How to Choose the Right Size Dumpster</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>Typical Weight Limits</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Bagster</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>You can load up to 3,300 lbs&nbsp;of debris into the Bagster (provided it meets all other size/fill requirements).</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>10 Yard Dumpster</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The amount of weight included in the price of renting a 10&nbsp;yard dumpster varies by hauler, so look closely at the 'included weight' when renting a dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"placement\">The average <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/guide-to-dumpster-weight-limits\" title=\"A Comprehensive Guide to Dumpster Weight Limits\">included weight</a> of a 10 yard dumpster is 2-3 tons, or 4,000-6,000 lbs.&nbsp;Generally, if you go over the included weight, there is a 'price per ton' for the additional weight.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Price per ton for additional weight depends on the disposal fees charged by landfills in your area, but ranges from <strong>$60-$100</strong> on average and is often pro-rated.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Placement Protocols</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Bagster</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"text-align:center\">\r\n<figure class=\"image\" style=\"display:inline-block\"><img alt=\"Waste Management Bagster\" data-align=\"center\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"2aba9a34-d456-436f-ba12-a3263dc23708\" height=\"333\" src=\"/sites/default/files/migrate_images/Bagster-8-Full.jpg\" width=\"500\" />\r\n<figcaption><em>Image via <a href=\"https://www.younghouselove.com/its-in-the-bag/\">Young House Love</a></em></figcaption>\r\n</figure>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<p>Just because the dumpster bag is small and portable doesn't mean you can&nbsp;place the bag anywhere.&nbsp;If you place the bag&nbsp;in your side yard or backyard, away from truck entrance points,&nbsp;WM won't be able to snag it with their truck and crane.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bagster placement is generally in your driveway or on your front lawn, by the road.&nbsp;In order for Waste Management to be able to pick the bag&nbsp;up, there must be a minimum of 18 feet&nbsp;of overhead clearance.&nbsp;In addition,&nbsp;the crane&nbsp;cannot extend outward beyond 16 feet.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For trucks to fit, alleyways and driveways must be at least 12 feet&nbsp;wide, and trucks cannot turn into a driveway from an alleyway.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, leaving a Bagster on your lawn for days or weeks will kill the grass underneath, so generally a driveway is the best option, if available.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>10 Yard Dumpster</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Dumpster placement is generally on your driveway, parking lot, or possibly in an alley or on the street.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some cities prohibit dumpsters on the street or require a permit in order to do so.&nbsp;Be sure to ask the dumpster providers you speak to about permitting requirements in your area and whether or not they will handle this for you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"debris\">Roll-off dumpsters are&nbsp;generally 8 feet wide, and the trucks that pick up these containers are a similar width.&nbsp;If available, driveway placement is generally preferred.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If placing near the garage, be sure the hauler leaves enough room for your dumpster door to swing open and your garage to be accessible.&nbsp;Discuss dumpster placement with your hauler.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Permitted Debris Types</h2>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe allow=\"accelerometer;

A good place to start is to consider which areas of your home are perhaps utilized the least and/or provide the most privacy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Secluded areas, like guest rooms, storage rooms, basements, and attics, make ideal home offices because they're separated from the most used areas of your home, like your living room, bedroom, and kitchen. If you're limited on space and don't have the ability to dedicate an entire room to a home office, the corners of your living room, dining room, bedroom(s), or even sunroom can provide a comfortable office setup that you can consciously separate from the rest of the room with a little effort.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Wherever you decide to set up your home office, it's important to consider any noise or traffic that could interrupt your productivity. A home office with a window next to your noisy neighbors' barking dogs is a recipe for distraction, while a home office in your living room can quickly turn into a nightmare if you live with other adults or children. You'll want to make sure that you're able to <a href=\"https://cobaltworkspace.com/how-to-separate-living-and-working-space/\" title=\"Why You Need Separation Between Working and Living Space\">separate your workspace from your living area</a> in order to maintain your productivity day in and day out.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When possible, we recommend choosing a space with the most natural light. Studies show that those who work in offices with windows and natural lighting have more energy and experience less eye strain when working on their computers, making them also less likely to experience tension headaches.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"clear-space\">If you decide that your attic or basement is the ideal place for your home office, you may need to do some light remodeling work to get it into the right condition for your office. Oftentimes, this includes tearing down interior walls or putting up drywall. If you need to perform any interior demolition, turn to local <a href=\"https://www.hometowndemolitioncontractors.com/near-me/residential-interior-demolition\" title=\"Residential Interior Demolition Near Me\">interior demolition or remodeling professionals in your area</a> to help you get it done safely and efficiently.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Step 2: Declutter and Prep Your Home Office</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Once you choose the perfect area of your home to turn into a home office, you'll want to clear the area of non-work related items. Removing storage items, old electronics, and general household clutter is a small action that can make a huge impact on the effectiveness of your home office.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you're setting up your office in an area that was previously used as storage, you'll want to find another area to store your items, or at the very least, a different way to store them in order to make room for your new office setup.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once you start sorting through your items to make room for your new home office, it's possible that you'll discover you have much more \"junk\" to get rid of than you realized. When you start to notice you have a growing pile of items that are no longer being used or bringing you joy, consider <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/when-hiring-a-junk-removal-company-is-the-best-choice\" title=\"When Hiring a Junk Removal Company Is the Best Choice\">hiring a junk removal company</a> to help relieve you of your unwanted belongings.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hiring a junk removal company allows you to forget about the taxing, manual labor involved in hauling your unwanted items to a donation center or landfill and allows you to direct your focus to more important matters, like setting up your home office.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/near-me/junk-cleanup-and-hauling\" title=\"Junk Removal Companies Near You\">Junk removal companies</a> are known for being able to haul away your unwanted items in a matter of minutes, donating salvageable items to local charities, recycling items that are accepted in local recycling programs, and disposing of the rest. Even if you only need to remove a single piece of furniture or a small box of electronics, a junk removal service can quickly and conveniently do that, too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the biggest advantages of hiring a junk removal company to help you clear out space in your home is not only how quickly they can get it done, but how much easier the project (and your life) becomes when they take care of the heavy lifting, loading, and logistics. If you'd rather do the hard work yourself, consider renting a temporary dumpster.

If you work a full-time job, your home office could quickly turn into one of the most used areas of your home, so it's important to design it in a way that is welcoming and to your taste, all while promoting productivity.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The color of your walls, type of flooring, type of lighting, furniture, storage, and decor are all things you should consider when designing your home office.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Paint Colors</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>There are certain <a href=\"https://cdispaces.ca/best-office-colors/\" title=\"The Best Office Colors to Boost Creativity, Happiness, and Productivity\">colors that promote creativity</a>, productivity, and a sense of calm, and using these color palettes for your home office can help set you up for success.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to psychology, cool blue and navy blue tones promote creativity and visionary thinking, while beige greens and yellow greens are some of the most stress-reducing shades you can paint a home office for a calm environment.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you can't (or don't want to) paint your home office, starting with a neutral wall color allows you to bring in decor and office furniture with any color pallet you'd like.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Flooring</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Wood, laminate, vinyl, tile, and carpet are all acceptable flooring for an office, but you may need or want to bring in additional rugs or mats specifically for your home office setup.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thick carpet is not conducive to rolling office chairs, so you may want to opt for a plastic rolling chair mat to make it easier to move around in your office chair.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tile flooring with deep ridges may be annoying to slide over with your rolling office chair, so a plastic mat or non-shag rug can make your home office feel more comfortable and less distracting.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to rip up your old flooring and replace it for your home office, hire an interior demolition contractor. <a href=\"https://www.hometowndemolitioncontractors.com\" title=\"Hometown Demolition\">HometownDemolition.com</a> can help you find local contractors in your area that are licensed, insured, and reputable. Get free quotes to compare pricing, customer service, and availability.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Lighting</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>While natural lighting is best for working environments, there will likely be times of the day and even periods of the year where additional lighting will be necessary.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bright florescent and LED lights do the best job of keeping you alert and awake, which can be helpful when you're nearing towards the end of a long work day. You'll want to avoid warm, yellow lightbulbs (2,000-3,000 <a href=\"https://www.westinghouselighting.com/color-temperature.aspx\" title=\"Understanding Color Temperature\">Kelvin</a>), as these tend to promote relaxation and a \"coziness\" that is associated with the comfort of home living. Higher Kelvin light bulbs (4,000-6,500 K) create a brighter, bluer hue that is perfect for illuminating your office and keeping you active, alert, and concentrated.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Storage</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>You'll want to make sure that you have storage in your home office that is specifically for your work belongings only. Mixing your paperwork and other work items in with your personal belongings can create plenty of issues, like lost or misplaced documents.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Buying an office desk with built-in storage is a great place to start, but additional tools for organization can be especially helpful. For example, if you have to store and access many paper documents, consider purchasing a mini filing cabinet.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are also plenty of different types of <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-desktop-organizers/\" title=\"The Best Desktop Organizers\">desktop organizers</a> that help to keep office supplies organized and easily accessible.&nbsp;Similarly, there are drawer organizers you can purchase for your cabinet and desk drawers that will help keep all your different office supplies and products neat and tidy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Add shelving above your computer desk to take advantage of the available wall space in your home office area. These added shelving units can not only help store items you'll need, but they can also be used to display personal items or decor.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"furniture-and-equipment\"><strong>Decor</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Decorating your home office helps to lift your mood, increase productivity, and boosts overall energy.&nbsp;Working in an environment that is cheerful and makes you happy while also being functional and promoting productivity is the perfect recipe for a successful home office.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Framed photos of loved ones or milestone accomplishments can be self-motivating during stressful times when you need an extra push to stay on course.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Step 4: Choose the Best Furniture and Equipment</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, the type of furniture and equipment you outfit your office with should be a point of focus when creating a home office.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Working at a desk, sitting in a chair, or using a keyboard that is not ergonomic can create posture issues that can lead to long-term health issues, like arthritis or chronic neck and back pain. <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/7-things-you-need-for-an-ergonomically-correct-workstation/\" title=\"7 Things You Need for an Ergonomically Correct Workstation\">Creating an ergonomic work environment</a> promotes a neutral position for your body to sit and work in for long periods of time.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are plenty of products on the market that are ergonomic and specifically built to promote healthy posture, so look for this description when shopping for office furniture and computer accessories, like a keyboard and mouse.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Another option is to opt for an <a href=\"https://www.haiken.com/insights/the-benefits-of-height-adjustable-desks\" title=\"The Benefits of Height-Adjustable Desks\">adjustable standing desk</a>. Sitting at a desk for long periods of time every day can increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Adjustable standing desks can be lowered to allow for sitting, and then adjusted to your perfect height to allow a comfortable standing position while you work on your computer.</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2 class=\"text-align-center\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/near-me/temporary-dumpster-rental\" title=\"Find Dumpster Rentals\"><strong>Find temporary dumpster rentals near me</strong></a></h2>\r\n","teaser":"<p>Learn some of the most impactful actions you can take when creating a home office to make the most of your space and help you keep focus while you're working from home.</p>\r\n","changed":"2023-09-13T15:55:31+00:00"},{"id":"e7a0b550-b721-5c96-94ed-89dee4d7cbc3","title":"Fast and Affordable Concrete Disposal Options","url":"/blog/fast-affordable-concrete-disposal","image":{"path":"/static/bcf5b49b58e1ace7bd9adcb00fcc6bab/concrete-debris-in-dumpster.png","alt":"excavator dumping concrete debris in dumpster"},"video":null,"media_type":"image","tags":[{"id":"fedc52f7-eea8-51dc-b288-5fe853ef2944","name":"Concrete Recycling Dumpsters","slug":"Concrete-Recycling-Dumpsters"},{"id":"d1824a81-ae42-587c-9dd3-2efa674e423f","name":"Construction Dumpsters","slug":"Construction-Dumpsters"},{"id":"04cc94ec-8031-599d-b367-22042ec698df","name":"Construction Debris Removal","slug":"Construction-Debris-Removal"},{"id":"02a42cee-60f9-5dfd-858c-22ec36b1ce1e","name":"Dumpster Rental","slug":"Dumpster-Rental"}],"content":"<p><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/dumpster-rental-101\" title=\"Dumpster Rental 101: How to Rent a Dumpster\">Renting a temporary roll-off dumpster</a> is arguably the fastest, most affordable way to dispose of concrete.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Typically, a&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/10-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"10 Yard Dumpster Guide: Convenient Size, Great Price\">10 yard dumpster</a>&nbsp;is big enough to dispose of concrete debris from a driveway, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-demolish-and-dispose-of-a-concrete-or-paver-patio\" title=\"How to Demolish and Dispose of a Concrete or Paver Patio\">concrete paver patio</a>, sidewalk, or foundation removal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, the <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/guide-to-dumpster-weight-limits\" title=\"A Comprehensive Guide to Dumpster Weight Limits\">weight limit of your dumpster rental</a> must also be enough to accommodate the weight of your concrete debris, not just the volume.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Because concrete is so heavy, you'll need to be sure you rent a dumpster that can handle that weight.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>With a thorough understanding of your project, dumpster&nbsp;rental companies are experts at estimating the weight of your&nbsp;project's debris and recommending the ideal dumpster size.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For reference: <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-much-is-a-cubic-yard\" title=\"How Much Is a Cubic Yard?\">1 cubic yard</a> of concrete weighs approximately 4,000 lbs or 2 tons.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A majority of concrete is poured 4-6 inches thick, so you can get a rough estimate of your concrete's dimensions and overall weight that way, too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Here are some examples of common concrete removal projects and the resulting debris...</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\r\n\t<thead>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\">\r\n\t\t\t<center>Project</center>\r\n\t\t\t</th>\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\">\r\n\t\t\t<center>Average Volume/Weight of Debris</center>\r\n\t\t\t</th>\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\">\r\n\t\t\t<center>Ideal Dumpster Size</center>\r\n\t\t\t</th>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</thead>\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-align-center\">Single-car concrete driveway removal (40 ft L x 10 ft W x 4 in.

If not, where does the waste go?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Some do, some don't. In recent years, recycling efforts have picked up drastically and an increasing number of roll-off rental companies are starting to offer <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/rent-a-recycling-dumpster-sizes-and-costs\" title=\"Rent a Recycling Dumpster: Sizes and Costs\">recycling</a> services. The best way to ensure your debris is recycled is to first ask if it’s offered. If so, you’ll need to ensure you only load that recyclable material into the dumpster. If you have multiple types of recyclable materials, like concrete, cardboard, and wood, you'll need to rent a separate dumpster for each type in most cases in order to have them properly recycled. Loads that are not recyclable will go to local municipal landfills, C&amp;D landfills or waste-to-energy plants.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>How can renting a larger&nbsp;dumpster save me money?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>It’s very difficult to accurately estimate how much your debris or junk is going to weigh and how much volume it will take up inside a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/clean-load-your-dumpster-to-save-money\" title=\"Clean Load Your Dumpster to Save Money\">dumpster</a>. While dumpster rental companies are remarkably good at helping you choose the right size dumpster for the job, it’s still just an educated guess. For this reason, it may be a more cost-effective strategy to go with a slightly <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/why-large-dumpsters-sometimes-cost-less-than-small-dumpsters\" title=\"Why Large Dumpsters Sometimes Cost Less Than Small Dumpsters\">larger container</a> than you think you may need. The extra $50 to $100 in rental fees may in fact be less expensive compared to the potential <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/top-6-ways-to-avoid-dumpster-overage-fees\" title=\"Top 6 Ways to Avoid Dumpster Overage Fees\">overage charges</a> incurred if you go over the weight limit on a smaller size dumpster. Overage charges generally range from $50 to $100 <u>per ton</u> but can be more than that in some instances. Going with a bigger container is also cheaper in situations where you rent a bin that’s slightly too small to complete the job and so you end up renting another.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>For example:</strong> You rent a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/10-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"10 Yard Dumpster Guide\">10 yard container</a> for a home cleanup and it turns out there’s about 15 yards of debris. You may have paid $250 for the rental but now you’ll need to pay an additional $250 to rent a second 10 yard dumpster to complete the job. If you have rented a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/20-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"20 Yard Dumpster Guide\">20 yard roll-off</a> in the first place for $350-$400, you would’ve saved a substantial amount of money – not to mention time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><em>*The prices in the example above are for informational purposes only.
