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!
