Planning A Neighborhood Block Party? Why Renting A Dumpster Should Be The First Item On Your List

If you're going to have a block party this summer, it's time to make arrangements for the trash. The best way to do that is to rent a dumpster. Dumpsters allow you to throw your block party without worrying about the trash. Here are just four of the reasons you need to rent a dumpster for your next block party.

Clear Yards for the Block Party

If you want to make sure that the neighborhood looks its best for the block party, you need to have a dumpster delivered about a week before the festivities. That way, you and your neighbors have the space you'll need to clear out your yards before the party. This is particularly important if fireworks, bonfires, or even barbecues are going to be part of the festivities. You'll want to make sure that dry brush, dead leaves, and other flammable items are removed from the yards. A dumpster will allow you to do that. Renting the dumpster a week in advance will give you time to fill it up and have it emptied prior to the party.

Provides One-Stop Access for Trash

If your entire neighborhood is going to be participating in the block party, you want to make sure that attendees have easy access to trash cans. You could have everyone set their empty trash cans out in the street, but that would clutter up the road. Not only that, but once your individual trash cans were filled, you'd have no additional space. To make sure that there's plenty of room for the trash without filling your own trash cans, rent a dumpster and have it placed in a central location.

Make Cleanup Easier

After the block party, you're going to have plenty of cleaning up to do. If everyone in the neighborhood participated, all the yards will need to be cleaned. Not only that, but you'll have table cloths and other items to discard. One of the great things about renting a dumpster is that it will make cleanup much easier. Each household can place their party discards into heavy-duty trash bags and then toss those into the dumpster.

Keep Animals Out of the Trash

If your block party was filled with lots of tasty foods, the neighborhood trash will be particularly inviting to animals. Unfortunately, if you've tossed the discards into your curbside trash cans, they'll be an easy target for wandering animals, which means you could end up with trash strewn throughout the neighborhood. However, when you rent a dumpster, you can close the lid at night, which will secure the contents and keep the animals away.
