Junk Removal San Jose – Helping You to Downsize

We spend our lives accumulating assets. You probably started in a small apartment, then found a partner and upsized. When the family came along, there was a need for more and more household items. Still, everyone reaches a stage when we have to consider downsizing. That’s when you’ll need the help of experts in San Jose junk removal.

When the children move out and the time comes to move into a smaller lock up and go home, you’ll want to start clearing the junk before you make the move. Your plan to downsize should start with a San Jose dumpster rental. That way you’ll have somewhere to place the junk as soon as you decide what stays and what goes.

Tips for downsizing

Decluttering and downsizing aren’t easy but you have to be realistic. You can’t move everything to your new smaller home.

Go from room to room – take stock of what you have, what stays, and what goes

Hire a dumpster to suit your requirements

Sort items - you’ll have items that you want to give away to charity, to family, or to friends. You will need many of your possessions for your new home. Then there will be the items that can take the short walk to the dumpster – that toaster that stopped working in the 90s, the toybox in the basement, the recipes you’ve been hoarding and never used. You know the drill.

Arrange to have your San Jose dumpster removed – we’ll collect your dumpster and make sure that most of your junk is recycled. So, you don’t have to worry that it will end up in a landfill. We recycle 90% of our dumpster waste.

How to Load Your Sacramento Rental Dumpster to Maximize Use

You’d be surprised to find out how many Sacramento rental dumpsters come to our premises ineffectively packed. This is not just a waste of space it could be dangerous as poorly packed items can fall from the top. If you take the time to load your Sacramento dumpster efficiently, you’ll maximize space utilization, saving time and money.

Fold and break down bulk

Break bulky pieces like expanded polystyrene packaging and drywall into smaller pieces before you pack them into your Sacramento dumpster. Cardboard boxes must be torn down and folded into flat sheets. If you have several cartons, it may even help to tie them together for even more efficient packing.

Put the bulkiest waste at the bottom of the Sacramento dumpster

Once you have broken down all that you can, if you still have bulky components, pack them at the base of the dumpster. The reason for putting the biggest items at the bottom is because it is safest and it’s much easier to pack smaller items on top.

Fill the gaps between the larger items with smaller bits of junk. This way you’re sure to make optimal use of the space. If you’re packing furniture make sure to pack up the areas under the legs and ensure that the item is stable when you’re done.

Don’t pack the junk too high

Packing junk beyond the upper rim of your dumpster is unsafe. Rather than doing that hire a bigger dumpster. At 7 Day Box Sacramento you can choose from six sizes of Dumpster rentals to precisely meet your needs. Sizes range from 5 cubic yards to 40 cubic yards so there is no junk job too big or small for our dumpsters to accommodate.

You can order your Sacramento dumpster online in three easy steps and we’ll deliver right to your door at a time that suits you.
