A 3-day dumpster rental is the perfect deadline. Here's how to get a full garage cleanout done in a single weekend.
Friday evening: prep
- Have the dumpster dropped Friday afternoon so it's ready Saturday morning.
- Set out three zones on the driveway: Keep, Donate/Sell and Toss.
- Pull aside paint, chemicals and batteries — those can't go in the dumpster.
Saturday: empty and sort
- Pull everything out. Yes, everything.
- Break down furniture and flatten boxes so they load tight.
- Load heavy items first and spread the weight evenly.
Sunday: clean and reload
- Sweep and wash the floor while it's empty.
- Install shelving or hooks before the keep pile goes back in.
- Drop donations off Sunday afternoon.
Monday morning, we pick up the dumpster. Done. Book your 3-day rental for $375 — call or text 616-522-7541.
