Should you rent a dumpster when planning your home wedding? In some situations, this may be a good idea for happy couples and hosts to add to their to-do list. When can you benefit from a dumpster rental for your wedding? Discover five important times.
1. When You Need Yard Cleanup
What's the condition of your backyard for the big day? If you regularly use the backyard for activities, it may be full of gardening debris, outdoor toys or equipment, the remains of prior parties, or pet paraphernalia. If your yard doesn't get the attention you'd like, it may be overgrown or contain unsightly plants that haven't weathered the year well.
Whatever the yard's condition, a dumpster helps you do a lot of cleanup in a short amount of time. And when everyone has a simple, convenient, and large container for unwanted outdoor items, they are more likely to get rid of more things than if they don't know what to do with the unwanted items.
2. When You Need House Cleanup
Most home-based weddings occur both inside and outside the house. Even if you plan to keep most activities outdoors, a sudden rainstorm or hot day might drive guests — or even the ceremony — inside. Prepare ahead of time by sprucing up your home's public areas. As with the yard, indoor spaces can get out of hand before you might realize it. Dumpsters are available to get rid of things quickly and cleanly.
3. If You Build Wedding Structures
Backyard weddings often call for some level of construction work. You might need to build a raised stage for the ceremony, a backyard bar, or a dance floor. Any construction project, though, will cause chaos on your property. This is not only a safety issue when others work in the yard but also makes it difficult to prep the space as well. Ensure safety and efficiency with a dumpster for waste and debris.
4. On the Big Day
Depending on the size of your wedding plans, a dumpster could be incredibly useful as the wedding day actually begins. Consider the amount of disposable cups, utensils, plates, and serving ware you'll need to dispose of. What about packaging, cleaning supplies, and decoration waste? The sheer volume of garbage generated before and during the wedding can easily overwhelm amateur organizers.
Generally, your residential waste disposal containers are insufficient for all but the smallest backyard gathering. A dumpster provides easy disposal and will hold much more than possible even by renting additional individual waste bins.
5. After the Event
Don't underestimate the necessary cleanup once the wedding is over. A happy couple likely doesn’t look forward to disposing of all that one-time-use plastic, paper, and cardboard. Leftover food waste from meals as well as the cake and bar might still be around. Opened gifts are often dwarfed by the unwanted packaging and wrapping. And you'll have to dismantle those temporary structures you made for the wedding day.
If you have nowhere to put all this unneeded leftover material, it may end up sitting in your home or yard for days or even weeks. A single dumpster can make short work of returning the house to a semblance of the order it enjoyed before the big party.
Will you face challenges in any of these areas? If so, a dumpster may be one of the best — and easiest — investments you can make in the wedding budget. Learn more about dumpster sizes, uses, and options by consulting with the waste disposal experts at
