Dumpster Advice
Posted: September 23, 2026 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 CommentI cleaned out Russ’ office today. I did what I was able to do without him to sort through the piles of papers. I was able to vacuum the baseboards and dust absolutely everything. Since his office was once Carter’s room it still has my old antique rope bed in it. I washed all the bedding and mattress pad and bought a new lampshade for one of the many lamps.
It got me started on the cleaning out bug. I think this is the fall I am going to clean out the attic. It was cool today so I could imagine going to the attic, although I did not do it. Cleaning one room was enough for today.
But as I was looking at my calendar I did find a window of time I could work on the attic, especially if I hired some men to come take the stuff out of the attic and bring it to the garage for me to sort.
So I got to thinking that a dumpster is the way to go. I looked online and found a company that brings a dumpster for a week to your house and takes it away. The price seemed reasonable. So what I want to know is have you ever done this? I will try and donate as much good stuff as I can, but that is its own giant job. At this point I just want to rid my house of things we don’t use. Give me all your best advice.
my daughter and her husband rented a dumpster when cleaning out their pole barn and it was a really easy way to go. they deliver and pick it up, so all you have to do is throw stuff in that you don’t want to keep or donate. so much easier and less time consuming than filling bags and boxes with all of your stuff and hauling them out to the trash.
