Plan the garage and basement cleanout before you order
Clear accumulated household debris with a container that keeps the project organized from start to finish. A rental works best when the container arrives before debris starts piling up and the loading area stays accessible throughout the project.
Three practical planning steps
- Create a loading path before delivery.
- Set aside paint, chemicals and batteries.
- Break down bulky items when practical.
Choose by debris, not just by room size
Two projects that occupy the same square footage can produce very different waste volumes and weights. Describe the actual material—such as household contents, drywall, shingles, brush or masonry—rather than relying only on the size of the room or building.
