How Can I Find a Local Dumpster Rental Company in Atlanta

If you have never rented a dumpster before or even if you have rented a dumpster before, you probably though, how do I find a dumpster rental near me?  It can be hard to find out what companies are local when it seems that everyone one you call is not located in your area.  In fact, most dumpster rental companies are not local or are not even a dumpster company, but a broker. Brokers simply take your order, find the cheapest person to do the job, mark it up, and then the 3rd party brings you the dumpster rental.

Separating Local Dumpster Companies From Brokers & National Companies

The big companies and brokers are the most expensive dumpster rentals.  The big companies have brand recognition,  love to go for after the big contractors, and are regional.  Sometimes the big guys will team up with broker to create a perfect mistake!

Brokers simply run adds and market their company as the source, but when they actually just find a local guy to do the work and add an significant amount of money to the cost!  They are a 3rd party company.

Using a local dumpster rental company will not only save you money, but you will also get a true idea of all the cost (no confusion), better service (less layers), faster service, and less fees (pre and post).  How do you find the dumpster rental "near me"?  For one visit their website and look for the following:  address, local phone number, see where their reviews are coming form, and look for social media links.  Social media can tell you a lot about where a company is located, too!  Another great place to look in google maps.  Maps will search by your IP address and list companies near you, but sometimes brokers will have listing in your area.  A local listing should look something like this.

Another indicator is look at the company name. If it is a blanket or general name; ie Budget Dumpster, Local Dumpster, Cheap Dumpster, Easy Dumpster, Quick Dumpster, etc it is strong indication that they are a broker.

Landfills and transfer stations are a good place to call and find out who the local guys are, too!

The simplest and quickest way to find out where the dumpster rental company is located is to ask them; this way you know for sure where they are.

Brokers and regional dumpster rental companies try to avoid letting you know that they are not local.  Brokers also try to avoid you figuring out that what they really are, a third party or subcontractor.  Remember, these guys are significantly more expensive, too!

Brokers are notorious for additional charges.  Read some of the great reviews:

"A few days later they charged me additional 44 dollar for who know what. Looking at the reviews, it seems to be quite common in their practice.
Lesson: if they claim to be the cheapest, they will charge you afterwards." Nataliya L.

"They give a very great competitive price and then a week later charges an additional $109.50." Pnoemi

"This is not even a dumpster company. This is a third party referral service .
They only get the business and then they call a local dumpster company." Mike R

Difference between a front load dumpster & roll off dumpster rental?

A dumpster is a dumpster, right?  No, there are 2 basic types of dumpsters that can be rented.  A Roll off dumpster and front load dumpster.  A roll off dumpster is generally what you see at a construction site, residential location, or being used by someone moving.  A front load dumpster is generally what you see behind a business, shopping center, restaurant, or commercial facility.

Roll off dumpsters are commonly referred to as a open top dumpster, roll-off dumpster, construction dumpster, rental dumpster, bin, or simply a dumpster. These are general on a short term rental and is only needed 1 or couple of times. All roll off type dumpsters have an open top and usually one door.  The design of these dumpsters will vary, but most are longer than taller and hauled on a large CDL truck.  The two most common types of lifts that roll off dumpsters use are either a hook lift or a winch cable. Hook style lifts have become more common and have less issues.

Front loading dumpster are usually long terms rentals and are tied with a contract.  These are the type of dumpsters you would see behind a shopping center, restaurant, or business complex. Most governments require them if food waste is going to be disposed off, because they are seal at the base and do not let water out; unlike the roll off dumpster.  Also, governments require front loading dumpster to have lid to prevent rain from filling them and to keep animals out of food waste. The design is taller to take up less room, usually have 1 or 2 sliding doors to load trash, lids, and seal water tight around the base.  Unlike roll off dumpsters, front load dumpster are not hauled away every time they are emptied. A large compactor truck with a forklift style lift.  Then they pick up it up and tip it upside down into the back of the truck.  It is very similar to how weekly trash pick up is done.

Lets review the differences of the two dumpster types.

Front load dumpster vs roll off dumpster rental

Roll Off Dumpster	Front Load Dumpster
Commonly referred to as: roll-off dumpster, open top dumpster, construction dumpster, dump bin, or dumpster	Commonly referred to as: front load dumpster or dumpster
Short to medium term rental	Long term & usually comes w/ a contract
Used for construction, house clean out, remodeling, or moving	Used in commercial settings. Apartment complexes, business, restaurants, or shopping centers
Not a watertight seal around bottom	Watertight at bottom

So to make it simple. If you are doing a construction job, remodel, moving, cleaning out, or building you need a roll off dumpster.  If you need a dumpster for your business you need a front load dumpster.  Remember if you need a roll off rental dumpster you can all check us out on the web at www.atlantadumpsterrentals.net or https://www.mariettadumpsterrental.net.

How do I get rid of old vehicle tires?

Your weekly trash service will not take tires and most disposal facilities don't accept them. This makes them one of the hardest items to dispose of and why the are constantly littered along the road and vacant lots.  

Scrap tires are a major health concern.  Trapped water is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and can increase their reproduction rate up to 100%!  Also, decomposing tires release hazardous chemicals and gases. If they burn they release toxic chemicals and gases.

I remember as a teen in 1995 a tire fire about 30 miles from my house.  We could see the thick black smoke and debris falling from the sky for a week.  Here is a video of the fire: FIRE. This burned for a about a week above ground  and months below ground.  It is estimated to have burned up to 6 million tires!  EPA decided to let the tires burn vs putting out the fire because of the chemicals the tires release while burn would run in the water supplies.

Although, they seem difficult to dispose of, they are not.  Just about every store (Walmart, Firestone, NTB, etc) that install tires will accept used tires for a fee and there is probably a limit.  Some transfer stations or landfill might accept them, but they cannot place them in the ground because it is illegal.  Tires must be recycled in the state of Georgia and you have to store them inside.

Recycled tire are used for many different things: mulch, playground bedding, roads, roofing, fuel, recapped & reused, artificial reefs, clothing, etc

Another option is to re-purpose the tires.  Simply google used tire uses and you can stay busy all day.  Some of my favorite are:

• Shooting barrier or shooting house.  The military love building house out of tires to train for urban operations. *note the tires must be filled with dirt.

• Potato garden.  Simply start with one tire and as plant grows add another tire  on top with soil.  Continue this till it is time to harvest. Then simply unstack them and grab your potatoes. If you have ever had to dig up potatoes you will know why this is a great idea

• Then there is everyone's favorite.  The tire swing.  No  explanation needed.

Did you know at every tire you buy has a tax on it for scrap tire abatement?

We, Bin There Dump That Atlanta, can haul and dispose of tires in certain locations. Just call  us find out if we can help you.

13 Life Hacks To Declutter, Organize & Simplify Your Life

Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze us. Our ability to adapt and re-purpose everyday items provides an endless stream of ways to make our lives easier.

The phrase that describes these clever innovations is life hack. Wikipedia defines the term this way: “Life hacking refers to any trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method that increases productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life.” In other words, a life hack is anything that solves an everyday problem in “an inspired, ingenious manner.”

Ever have a problem finding the end of a roll of tape? For us, it usually takes three times as long to get the end unstuck than it does to put the tape where it needs to go. But now when we do, we take a paperclip (you know that little box holds more than you’ll likely ever use) and stick it to the edge of the tape. That makes the end easier to find the next time. That’s a life hack.

Below we’ve compiled a list of our favorite home-related hacks — plus some links to places around the web where you can find hundreds, if not thousands, more.

Things Get Clean in the Sink, But What Cleans the Sink?

Here’s a gem the folks at SERVPRO offer on their Facebook page to help you make sure your kitchen sink — a receptacle for some pretty nasty stuff — stays clean and fresh.

1. Pour ½ cup of baking soda down the drain.
2. Wash it down with ½ cup of vinegar and a spritz of lemon.
3. Let that set for a few minutes while it fizzles.
4. Rinse with hot water.

How the Heck Do You Clean a Mattress?

This smart spring cleaning hack comes from Calli, whose, blog “Make It Do,” offers a bit of advice on keeping mattresses smelling fresh.

Remove all the bedding, including bed skirts and mattress covers… and put it all into the wash.

Next lift the mattress and box springs off the bed and thoroughly vacuum and dust. (Feel free to wipe down the wall and floorboards behind the bed.)

Lay the mattress back into place and prepare Calli’s special concoction. You could just use straight baking soda, but Calli pours about one cup of baking soda into a mason jar and adds four drops of lavender essential oil.  Put on the lid and shake up the jar.

Using a kitchen strainer sprinkle the baking soda mixture all over the mattress and let it sit. Let it sit for an hour or more, usually the time it takes to finish washing all the bedding and press the bed skirt.

Using the hose end of your vacuum and an upholstery attachment, thoroughly vacuum the mattress. Say goodbye to dust mites and other nasty things. The baking soda helps draw up any moisture and deep dirtiness. It deodorizes and leaves the mattress smelling fresh and clean.

Short and Sweet

Many, if not most, life hacks are quick and simple tricks to make life just a bit easier. Here are some of our favorites, courtesy of Twisted Sifter. 

1. Place a rubber band around a paint can to wipe off the brush. This will help keep the paint on the inside of the can.     
2. Use your smartphone to take photos of your friends with items you lend them. That way you’ll remember who has them.
3. Fold your clothes and stack them vertically in drawers. You’ll be able to see them better.
4. A frozen, wet sponge makes a great ice pack that won’t drip as it melts.
5. Use unscented dental floss to cut cakes, cheese and other soft foods.
6. Use a clothespin to hold a nail when hammering.

Simple And Smart

Sometimes life hacks are so simple you’re almost embarrassed you didn’t think of them yourself. For example, take a look at these 75 life hacks offered by The Orlando Sentinel.

1. Use a laundry basket to carry several bags of groceries.
2. Driving on a strange highway and don’t know which side of the road the exit is on? Look at the little rectangular exit sign on top of the larger highway sign. It will be on the same side of the road as the exit.
3. Ever rent a car and, as you’re pulling into the gas station, you realize you don’t know which side of the car the tank door is on? The dashboard gas gauge likely has a little triangular arrow that points to the side from which the tank should be filled. 

We know what you’re thinking. Life is good now. These life hacks will make things so much better. Again, you’re welcome. But there will come a time when maybe you’re not quite as happy as you are this very moment. Here’s one last life hack to make life a little better: Forcing yourself to smile when you’re feeling down will make you happier.
