3 Tips for Keeping your Dumpster Rental Clean

As stated earlier, dumpsters get the reputation of being gross and dirty. But with some proper cleaning and maintenance, your dumpster will be just as clean as your home. Here are our top tips for keeping your dumpster rental clean throughout your home renovation project:

1.  Clear it out

The first step to keeping your dumpster rental clean is clearing out the inside of it before starting to put your waste in it. When you rent a dumpster, you want to clean out the inside first in case the person who rented it before you didn’t do so. Clear out everything that is in the dumpster so you get a fresh start for your project. If you have garbage already in your Starr Dumpsters rental, give us a call for dumpster pick up.

2.  Wash it

Now that your dumpster is cleared out, it’s time to give it a good wash. Dumpsters tend to be filled with some nasty things, so to ensure it’s properly cleaned and ready for use, you’ll want to mix water and bleach. Sanitize the interior of the dumpster with your bleach and water mixture and let it soak for a half-hour, then thoroughly rinse out the dumpster. Repeat this step if everything wasn’t removed in the first round.

3.  Let it dry

Once your dumpster is cleaned with bleach and water, it’s important to allow the inside to completely dry out before putting your garbage into it. Letting it fully dry will ensure no mold or bacteria grow in it while you are working on your renovation project.
