When many people think about improving their home, they immediately think of new materials, more space, and better windows.
And then they think about the price tag, the thousands to tens of thousands that it would cost to demolish, renovate and construct.
Sometimes they decide it’s worthwhile, take out a loan and start demolition.
But often people are intimidated by the price point and choose to keep making do with what they have.
But what if there were an affordable home improvement that makes a big difference in the day-to-day function of the home? That improves the appearance of the home, inside and out, and that encourages the day to day systems of the home to become more and more efficient over time?
This home improvement, believe it or not, is a small dumpster rental.
You may wonder if this even qualifies as an upgrade to your home, but hear me out. Homes with a small dumpster soon find that there are many advantages to this system, and that they can enjoy their living spaces more than ever–without having to go through the disruption or the expense of a more conventional renovation.
Decluttering: An Overlooked Solution to Tired Spaces
Many people think they need a bigger home, but what will really fix their troubles is less stuff.
It’s human nature to add more and more possessions to their spaces, but in time even a spacious home will feel crowded and confused when it keeps getting filled with more and more things.
Decluttering is the art of assessing which of your possessions are actually adding value to your life, and which are just putting more weight on your floor joists.
The internet is rife with blogs, Youtube channels and podcasts devoted to decluttering, so it is surely not a foreign concept. Yet many people don’t make it past the first stages of decluttering.
The Garbage: A Pain Point in Many Homes
One big reason why people give up on decluttering is deceptively simple: the garbage can fills up.
You don’t want to make a special trip to the dump, and you don’t want a bunch of garbage bags in the garage for weeks, so you may even think, “Sometime I’ll rent a dumpster,” and in the meantime you keep living in the crowded spaces that make you wish you could tear the house down and start over.
Even a normal week of household garbage can fill a normal garbage can to overflowing. You can’t even think about adding a single extra bag of decluttered items.
This is where a household dumpster rental can really shine. With plenty of extra room, you can start that decluttering project you’ve been putting off. Fill a bag with excess stuff every day if you want, and toss it in the dumpster. Or add that piece of broken furniture that is never getting fixed.
A small dumpster rental can make all the difference between a cluttered, unhappy space and a home that feels large and inviting–at a very minimal cost compared to most renovation projects. Contact a dumpster service today.
