Spring is in the air, and that means it’s time for a deep clean! Whether you’re decluttering your home, tackling a renovation project, or just refreshing your space, renting a dumpster is a great way to handle all that extra waste. But before you start tossing everything in, it’s important to know what can and can’t go in a dumpster. Proper waste disposal helps protect the environment and ensures recyclable materials don’t end up in landfills.
