How do you get rid of debris after a home renovation?

To get rid of debris after a home renovation, sort it by material and set hazardous items aside. Then hire a junk removal crew to load and haul the lightweight construction debris and old fixtures in one visit.

Renovations always leave behind more debris than you expect. Suddenly you’re left with everything from drywall to old flooring. The mess adds up fast. To manage it, we recommend starting by sorting everything by material. Keeping your wood, metal, and general debris separated makes the cleanup process much smoother. Just remember to set aside any hazardous materials like paint and solvents. Those require a trip to a dedicated hazardous waste drop-off, rather than a junk truck. 

You’ve got a couple of ways to clear out the junk once you’re done. One is that you can make repeated runs to the dump in your own truck. This takes a lot of time and gas, but it’s certainly doable. The other way: rent a dumpster. You will then have a container in your driveway that you must load yourself and pay for by size whether you fill it or not. For a small or wrapped-up project, that’s a lot of hassle.
