Less Mess, More Fun

Most homeowners have a project they put off until they get some “good weather.” Whatever that might be, it usually involves a mess. It could be a major clean out or undertaking a project to upgrade the house. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, consider a dumpster before you start working.

Old decking materials, countertops, toilets, appliances, flooring, etc… can all make a large pile once the deconstruction is complete. Then what? The excitement of building and remodeling work often trump the plan — or lack thereof — to deal with the old junk now laying in the side yard.

Consider these steps.

First contact BlueBox online to reserve a residential dumpster. Second, tell the BlueBox Rental staff where to deliver it on your property. Third, discard all of the household junk and unwanted items into the conveniently-located dumpster. Fourth, wait for the BlueBox driver to haul everything away.

“Friendly customer service. Fast and easy to reserve dumpster and quick delivery. Reasonably priced. Dropped dumpster off on Thursday morning and picked up on Monday after verifying we were ready for pick up. Followed up after pick up. Great company to do business with if you need to rent a dumpster!”  – Michelle M.

Memorial Day Facts

Did You Know: Memorial Day is Monday, May 29, 2023. The holiday began after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans established it. It was originally called Decoration Day, because the citizens were encouraged to decorate the graves of those who died in the war. By the 20th Century, competing Union and Confederate holiday traditions merged and Memorial Day honored all Americans killed while in military service.
