Ordered and received a disposal bin

As I've been clearing out the basement all the way to our cement block foundation, I've been leaving everything scattered all over the floor. Probably not the best way to leave a worksite! It really did get piled up.

I ordered a bin from Remove My Junk. The bin arrived here today. Their rates are pretty good compared to the competition. At this time, it's $150 for a bin (you pick your size) that you get to keep for 5 days, plus $85 per tonne of waste (that's metric tonne).

As I'm trying to DIY as much as possible, and save as much as possible, I considered renting a U-Haul to haul the junk away to the dump myself. But after careful consideration, I just felt that the bin was worth the extra cost. I'll save time since I don't have to go to U-Haul to pick up a truck, and I don't have to drive the truck to the dump and then return it. So it will be time and effort saved, both of which I want to maximize!

I'm hoping that I can completely clear out our basement within 5 days. But since I'm doing this in the little spare time that I have, such as 30 minutes at lunchtime, or early morning before work or very late at night after the kids are asleep, I'm not all that confident!
