The weather is beginning to cool down and leaves are beginning to change. It’s that time of the year, time for you and your family to begin mentally preparing for the colder season. The autumn season is beautiful time of the year, and the perfect opportunity to also physically prepare for the winter months. You practice Spring-cleaning, so why not do the same for the time of the year you spend the majority of your time inside your home?

Give “Fall Cleaning” a chance and be more comfortable this winter. You may not choose or need to perform a full-blown deep clean such as what you would typically do in the spring, but a good cleanup can help tremendously.

In Indiana, the winters can be brutal! Here are some tips from your Indiana dumpster rental company that will help you fight the cold with confidence.

 

Indiana Dumpster Rental Tips 101:

Getting your indoor and outdoor areas and yard prepped for the winter could be challenging for some.

As difficult as it might be, sometimes simply throwing away items is the best way to prepare for the winter.

Throw these 5 things away this fall season

Your Indiana dumpster rental company wants to help you de-clutter this season…

1. Paperwork and receipts you don’t need anymore
Do you really need those receipts for last year’s trip to the grocery store? Of course not! Throw away the paperwork and receipts you simply won’t need. It’ll make a big difference without a lot of effort.

2. Old or unused electronics
Cords are messy, why keep bulking and easy tangled electronics around? Donate the ones you can and toss the rest!

3. Unworn clothes and unpaired clothing items
If you can, give gently worn clothes to thrift stores. For items with a pair (socks!) or stuff you can’t wear, toss them in the trash! It’s now or never.

4. Children’s toys and games
Keep children’s games and toys that hold value or nostalgia, but definitely don’t keep the one’s missing half the pieces and collecting it’s 10^th year of dust.

5. Expired items
While seemingly obvious, keep it mind that nail polishes, makeup, and food items all have an expiration date!
