With the new year upon us, many people are making New Year’s resolutions. Perhaps you are one of those who have made a resolution to get your house uncluttered. It’s an admirable goal and one that could benefit your whole family. So, without further delay, let’s take a look at what’s involved in a New Year’s whole-home cleanout.
Choosing the Right Roll-off Dumpster for Your Cleanout
The first step in your whole house cleanout is to ensure that you have an adequate roll-off dumpster to contain all the furniture, junk, and trash you want to throw out. If you have a standard-size home with around three bedrooms, then a twenty-yard dumpster will hold all the items you plan to get rid of. If your home has four or more bedrooms, you should consider renting a thirty-yard roll-off dumpster. Having the right size roll-off dumpster is essential to
Places to Clean Out in Your House
Cleanout Under Sinks
The storage areas below sinks, whether in the bathrooms or kitchen, are notorious for collecting junk. Things like cleaners and moldy towels should be collected and thrown in your rental roll-off dumpster. Verify you aren’t tossing out any solvents or harmful chemicals before throwing them into the dumpster. If you aren’t sure, we can tell you what can’t be placed in a roll-off dumpster or you can reference our website.
Cleanout Kitchen Cabinets
You would be surprised by how many expired food items and condiments are sitting in your kitchen cabinets, and there is more scrap than in a junkyard. You might find old utensils, broken appliances, and other surprising items probably in there; if you want to avoid insect or vermin infestation in 2025, cleaning out your kitchen cabinets is a good idea. When you throw them out, make sure everything is sealed, or you could have other wildlife getting into your roll-off dumpster.
Cleanout the Attic and Garage
Think about it: When you have something you want to store but don’t know where, what is the first place that comes to mind? You probably think of your garage or attic by default. Cleaning out your garage or attic is a great idea, not only because it will give you more space, but it will also remove clutter that could be a fire hazard.
Examine What You Are Going to Throw Out
Make sure to check what you are throwing out. After all, you don’t want to throw out old photos or a family heirloom. Check with children, even if they are adults, before disposing of any toys. There may be a treasured childhood memory they want to preserve. Ensure you aren’t throwing out any important documents such as birth certificates or the deed to your home.
