Getting rid of old appliances can be a huge chore. And your kitchen stove or oven can be some of the worst to deal with. But if you're upgrading to new appliances, what do you do with the old ones?

Imagine you are trying to lift your kitchen oven. Even if you could get your arms around it, how much weight are we talking about? Well, according to one source, the average 24 to 30 inch convection oven weighs about 130 pounds. And a double convection oven can weigh much over double that!

Summertime is the perfect time to declutter your home and cut ties with any old junk you don’t need anymore. Though springtime is the customary cleanout time—hence the phrase “spring cleaning”—summer is often the ideal time to get inspired. Perhaps you’re having guests over for a family party or a summer barbeque and want to put your best foot forward with a home that is truly spick and span. Alternatively, maybe you’re planning a summer renovation and need to clear out some clutter to save money on temporary storage. Summer is also prime house buying season, and relocating to a new address is an obvious reason for decluttering. In any case, if you’re executing a summer cleanout, there’s one question you’re probably asking: “How much to rent a dumpster?”

Household and kitchen appliances get old. Sometimes they just need to be upgraded and other times they break down and must be replaced. Either way, you still have to get rid of the old one.

The days of the traditional wood deck built with sixteen penny nails and swinging hammers haven't disappeared completely. But the options for building materials has grown tremendously and offer exciting possibilities.

It used to be that an affordable deck was built with treated wood of some type. For those with a bigger budget, a redwood deck was the way to go. However, once the movement towards an "outdoor living" lifestyle began to become more popular, deck designs evolved as did the need for more versatile, longer-lasting materials.

At one point or another, it's a problem many people must figure out how to deal with: a mountain of debris, a ton of trash, or even the knowledge that soon, you'll have a mess on your hands. No matter the precise reason that you're facing a need to dispose of a large amount of waste, the big question on your mind is always going to be "How can I most effectively get rid of it all?" The answer many people increasingly find themselves arriving at is simple: renting trash dumpsters.

Junk removal and junk hauling can be a pain. Especially if you have a large project or lot of junk. In those cases, a MINI Dumpster can be a perfect solution. But it comes in handy for more than just getting rid of junk!
