Recovering after a severe storm can be challenging if your home is damaged. Even after the storm has passed, you may experience anxiety and stress due to the condition of your home or yard.

Once you've surveyed your property and filed any claims with insurance, you'll need to move on to the cleaning involved in restoring your property. Instead of filling your usual trash cans and waiting for them to be emptied repeatedly, save time by renting a roll-off dumpster. 

Understand the different items that can be thrown out with the help of a roll-off dumpster and speed up how long it takes to get your yard in the best condition. 

Damaged Shingles

In a storm with strong wind, there's a good chance that the shingles have been blown off your roof. If this is the case, the shingles likely can't be reused due to them breaking upon impact. These shingles can add up in number, making it difficult to toss them in your regular trash can. By renting a dumpster, you'll have the space to toss them out without delay. 

Landscaping Debris

Cleaning your yard includes throwing out uprooted trees, shrubs, flowerbeds, and branches. While some of your landscaping can be replanted with effort, it may not be possible for everything due to the storm's destruction. 

Big and small branches can be thrown into a roll-off dumpster, unlike your usual trash can where landscaping debris is restricted. 

Pots and Decorations

Strong wind can cause plant pots and decorations to be destroyed, leading to you needing to throw out items you wish you could keep. Since some pots and decorations cannot be repaired, you'll need room to properly discard everything. By having a roll-off dumpster available on your property, you can avoid a situation where you have a lot of trash sitting outside your home for a long time. 

Splintered Fencing

Wood fencing that's toppled over and splintered will need to be thrown out since it won't be possible to repair. Fencing can take up a substantial amount of room in your trash can, making a roll-off dumpster a convenient way to throw out the fencing without any complications. 

It's easy to be overwhelmed with the cleanup after a severe storm. Rather than leaving a lot of debris and mess in your yard due to having a single trash can, you can make the project easier by renting a dumpster with plenty of space.
