How to Save Thousands on Your Home Landscaping Project

It’s the time of year to start looking at budgeting home projects to take place in spring. If you’re thinking about including some landscaping rejuvenation, we’ve got a simple way to save several thousand dollars on that project.

Did you know that demolition and disposal can account for up to 25% of a landscaping job when bid by a contractor? According to our friends over at Willis Lawn Services, doing some of the demolition work yourself can save you a pretty penny on that next project.

Dumpster rentals from Scissortail Waste start at only $275. The cost to pay a landscape contractor to cut away and dispose of the material you could fit in a dumpster will cost between 5 and 10 times the cost of the dumpster. Sure – there’s a bit of sweat and maybe borrowing a chainsaw. But what could you do with an extra few thousand dollars? Enhance your curb appeal a bit more or leave some of that cash in savings!

Happy planning! Give us a call today to get an idea of the size of dumpster you’ll need at 405-261-9105.

Scissortail's Guide to Organizing Your Basement

Let’s Get Organized!

Basements often become unorganized, cluttered messes. With a few simple steps you can make the most out of your basement, finished or unfinished. 

Whether you are looking to create your dream basement or are tired of dealing with the overwhelming clutter, we have a few ideas to get you started.

Get Rid of Unwanted Items

Let’s get rid of that junk! Start by boxing your belongings into boxes labeled keep, donate or throw away. A general rule of thumb for getting rid of an object is asking yourself, “Have I used this in 6 months or will I use it in the next 6 months?”… If the answer is no to both of these questions, consider donating or getting rid of these items. 

If you believe an item is at the end of its life, consider throwing it away. If you have an abundance of items that need to be disposed of, you may need to rent a dumpster . 

For the items that are being donated, take them to your nearest, Goodwill. 

For the items you are keeping, box and label them to be stored on shelves.

Prep your Space for Ideal Storage 

With basements come moisture, mildew, and other various annoyances. Combat these issues with some simple cleaning, painting and preparation techniques.

• Start by looking for condensation on windows and walls. You may also consider adding insulation to avoid condensation forming on cold surfaces when the inside of your hoe is warmer than the outside.

• Clean up water leakage as soon as it happens.

• Don’t paint or cover up areas until they are dry

• Use a dehumidifier and empty the collected moisture frequently

• Add ventilation as a permanent feature to ensure airflow

 Create Built-In Storage Options and Utilize Extra Space 

 Once you’re done prepping the area, consider adding built-in storage units. Insider adding furniture that has extra storage space such as drawers, wardrobes and platform storage beds. 

A great place for extra storage under your stairs. Make the most out of this area with floating shelves like these!

Label and Zone Your Storage 

When choosing where to store your items divide your basement into sections and determine where all your “keep” boxes will go. Clearly labeling your storage boxes will help greatly during this process.

Zone ideas:

• Seasonal

• Separate per activity (skiing, camping)

• Per person in the house

• Type (toys, kitchen, sports)

Make it a Yearly Priority 

Once you’ve done it once, keep up with it year to year. Mark it on your calendar and get rid of items as they accumulate. Make it a habit!

How to Plan a Community Clean-Up

Are you looking for a way to give back to your community this spring or summer?

Community clean-ups are a great way to keep your community clean, while providing a service to your community. 

A community clean-up can take many different forms such as a neighborhood clean up project where a group, HOA, or block that gets together to rent a few dumpsters to clean up the shared spaces and any other waste from their homes. Or, dumpsters can be placed in parks or trails so that the whole community can pitch in and pick up the waste that is left on the ground.

A Safe Way to Give Back 

We know it can be hard to organize any events or gatherings in these unprecedented times. A community clean-up requires very little contact but offers a big service to your community. 

Let’s Get Planning…

1. How Do I Get Started?

When planning a community clean-up, simply choose a location, such as a parking lot, then choose a day to host your event. When you’ve worked out your details, give Scissortail Waste Solutions a call and provide them with the day and time the dumpster will need to be dropped off. Before calling, it is good to have an idea of how many people will be participating and roughly how much waste will be generated. 

Saturdays are popular days if you are going to need dumpsters swapped out during the event – in some cases we can even dedicate a driver to your event to make sure your dumpsters don’t overflow!

2. Choose an Enthusiastic Leader 

Select someone from your community to coordinate the event and get the community interested. 

3. Get the Word Out 

• Create a flyer highlighting the details for the event – including dumpster etiquette and what is not allowed in the dumpsters

• Use community message boards and social media to spread the word

• Tell your neighbors, local businesses and churches near you

• Add the event to any community calendars

4. Send out a reminder a few days before the event

5. Decide how many dumpsters will be needed

A common question asked when planning to host a community clean-up is “How many dumpsters will I need for the event?”

We’ve hosted many of these events, so we have a good idea!

We typically recommend 3-5 dumpsters for a neighborhood clean-up, depending on how many people are planning to participate. 30 yard dumpsters are the most common for these events.

To rent with Scissortail for your next community event, please call (405) 261-9105.

How to Choose a Dumpster Rental Company

Choosing a dumpster company can be overwhelming. How can you sort through the best options?

We break down things to look for when choosing a dumpster company for your next project.

Pricing

The first thing to consider when choosing a dumpster rental company is pricing. Do they offer flat rate pricing? Are they upfront about extra fees that you may be charged for including; tonnage, extra rental days, and service area. The more information you’re given upfront the better.

Customer Service 

Next is customer service. How quickly were they able to answer your phone call? When you got a hold of someone were they knowledgeable and friendly? Did they give you all the answers you needed or was it like pulling teeth?

These are a few things to keep in mind when making your decision. The phone call should provide you with all the information you need in a concise and friendly manner. 

Sizing Options 

Variety is key. Each project has a recommended dumpster size and figuring that out can be tricky. 

When choosing a dumpster rental company, having multiple sizes to choose from is ideal. Customer service representatives should help you decide on the correct size. 

Do They Make it Easy on you?

Booking a dumpster, especially for the first time can be confusing. Make sure the company you choose makes it easy on you. They should provide you with all the ordering information needed including guiding you through the best location for the dumpster to be placed, when it will arrive, when it will be picked up, when and how you’ll be billed and what is and is not allowed in the dumpster. 

If you’re ready to book a dumpster, we’ve already found the best option in OKC. Our professional customer service representatives would be happy to discuss your options with you and answer any questions you have about renting a dumpster.

Home Renovation on a Budget

Home renovations can come with complexities. Don’t let one of them be going over your budget. 

Stay Focused 

Once you decide on your project budget...stick to it! Allow a cushion in your budget to allot for unforeseen costs that may come up throughout the project.

What do you need versus what do you want?

Decide on your top renovation needs and priorities. Whether it’s the bathroom or the kitchen, stick to what your priorities are. Are you wanting to remodel your kitchen with the top priority being a more modern look but the appliances are lower on your list?  Remember to keep these things in mind once your project begins. 

Don’t Settle on Supplies 

When gathering supplies, allow plenty of time to search for the best options. Take the time to compare prices and get the best deals. Consider using recycled or gently used items and materials. A little searching can go a long way!

Talk to Others who have Done Similar Projects

Find a friend, neighbor or co-worker who has been through a remodel before. Ask them what their budget was like, what mistakes did they make, how could their process have gone smoother? Learning from their mistakes could help save you a lot of money!

Handle Your Own Waste

Renting a dumpster for your projects is a great way to save. A 30 yard dumpster is a perfect size to take care of all the waste produced by your renovation project. 

It’s also a great way to keep your project safe and free of debris that may be getting in the way and slowing down your project. When you rent a dumpster, you can clean up as you go!

Do What You Can Yourself 

Doing certain projects yourself can significantly cut down on costs. The most popular items people choose to take care of themselves are tearing up old carpet and knocking out old cabinets. 

Another small piece of your project you can save on is the final painting. This is a great part to tackle yourself to save some money towards the end of your project.

Strategies for Organizing your Garage

Let’s Get Organizing…

Is your garage an organized sanctuary or a cluttered mess? Is it even too full of STUFF you can’t park your car inside? Scissortail breaks down some simple tips and tricks for organizing your garage so you can make the most out of your space. 

Where Do You Begin?

Start out by setting aside a half day or even a full day. Next, ask some friends or family to take part in the clean up project to get the job completed much faster. Let’s get started!

You’ll want to separate your items into 3 main groups: keep, sell or donate and toss. 

Keep: We suggest splitting your keepers into broad categories such as (sport equipment, tools, and household items). Use clear plastic storage bins or other boxes and clearly mark your items you are wanting to keep, making it easy to find something specific. 

Sell/donate: When sorting through items you may decide to sell or donate various things. One way that makes this easy is by holding a garage sale. You can also donate items at your local Goodwill store. 

Toss: When doing a garage clean out, consider how much stuff you are going to toss. In a lot of cases there are larger items, like old appliances and furniture that need to be discarded. In this case, renting a dumpster would greatly benefit your project. Also, take into account the items that can be recycled. 

Think Before You Toss

When gathering the items that are ready to be thrown away, consider what items are allowed to go to the landfill. Many items in your garage could be considered hazardous. 

Choose a Layout 

After you’ve decided what items are staying and what items are going, you next must determine where your belongings will go…

• Take into account the items you use together. Whether its gardening tools and lawn sprays or tennis balls and rackets, choose to put similar items near each other.

• Put larger equipment or items that may fall over farther away from where your car will be parked. 

• Place seasonal items like holiday decorations in harder to reach spots, since you’ll once be needing them once a year.

Keep Items off the Floor

• Create more space for your vehicle by keeping your stuff off the floor.

• Invest in hooks or shelves to keep your floor clean and decluttered

Purchase A Workbench 

A key investment for any garage is a workbench. We suggest finding one with drawers for your tools. You can then label the drawers to stay organized while working on your projects. 

Keep It Clean For Good 

• Once a year, set aside a day to go through your belongings.

• Regularly hose down the floor 

• Ensure items stay in their designated places and reorganize as needed as the months go by

How To Avoid Dumpster Fees

How To Avoid Additional Charges On Your Dumpster Rental 

We offer a flat rate price for dumpster rental that includes delivery and pick up, but there are a few additional things that determine your dumpster price. We want you to be informed of these items so there are no surprises!

Rental Extension 

You’ve rented a dumpster but have now decided your project may take longer than expected. If you keep your dumpster over the original allotted time period, you will be charged an extra fee of $7.50/day. This can be avoided by planning ahead and taking the time to clear your schedule for whatever project you may be doing.

Exceeding Tonnage 

The next way a customer can accumulate additional fees is going over our weight limit. When a dumpster is filled over our weight limit, we charge $40/ton. One way to avoid this fee is talking with one of our experienced customer service representatives when booking the dumpster and determining which dumpster will best fit your project. The weight limit allowed depends on the size of the dumpster.

Along with determining your dumpster size, how you load your dumpster is also important. We suggest loading your larger items into the dumpster first and making sure there isn’t anything over our fill line. When items are over the fill line this can create a safety hazard on our roadways.

Dumpster Contents 

Thinking about what is going into your dumpster is also a very important way to avoid fees. Filling your dumpster with hazardous material can be a very serious matter, resulting in environmental fines. Be sure to ask one of our customer service representatives if you are unsure about what is allowed in your dumpster.

Service Area 

The final way to save on dumpster rental is considering our service area. When renting outside of our service area, it comes along with extra fees. See Scissortail’s service area below.

If you ever have any dumpster related questions, don’t hesitate to call (405)261-9105. Our staff would be happy to answer any questions you may have!

6 Things to Do before Your Dumpster Rental Arrives

Whether you are renovating your home or removing the waste materials that has accumulated over time getting a professional dumpster rental service will always be helpful. Actually a dumpster is a necessity when you have such large garbage at your possession.

By getting a dumpster rental service you can throw the garbage and waste materials directly at the dumpster. It will later be thrown at waste disposal grounds. However, before the dumpster rental arrives you need to do six tasks that are most essential.

1. Estimate the amount of waste involved

You will find that dumpster rental provides dumpster in different sizes and this it is important that you know the amount of garbage that you have to dispose. They will probably charge you at the weight of the garbage, but still you need to estimate both the area required for the waste material as well as the weight.

2. Inform other members

In the cleanup project there must be other members engaged too. Inform them about the arrival of the dumpster so that they know when they will need to work at throwing the waste at the dumpster.

3. Prepare Waste for Disposal

If you want to prepare the waste after the dumpster arrives ta your place it will take time. Instead it is better if you get them ready before the dumpster arrives. There may be different type of waste and different processes for getting them separated. Everything may not be done beforehand but you can do some at before so that you save some time. Moreover, when things are arranged beforehand you will not be in tension at the last moment.

4. Plan Things Out

The location where you place the dumpster is important. If you place it centrally from where different waste can be disposed easily then everything will be completed fast. Moreover, you should also ensure that the dumpster rental can easily place the dumpster and then take it away later on.

5. Clear the Dumpster Location

After you have planned where you will put the dumpster you should clean up the place. Sometimes there are few garbage thrown here and there and if it is there on the location where you intend to place the dumpster there will be difficulty. Know the dimension of the dumpster beforehand so that you can locate and clean the place before arrival of the dumpster.

6. Prepare for Any Special Disposal Requirements

Another thing that must be taken care of while you use the dumpster is while disposing any kind of special items. You cannot dispose animals, batteries, lubricants etc. at the dumpster. So, if you have nay of such kind of items be specific and tell them about it. If they allow you its alright. Sometimes they may ask you for certain precautions before you dispose those items. Until and unless you tell them you cannot dispose them easily. So, inform them, get their suggestions so that you do not have to bear any fine later when toxic substances are found from your waste disposal.

Things to consider when hiring a dumpster rental company

If you need to move a large amount of stuff that you don’t want, you will have

to hire a dumpster rental. You can rent a dumpster for construction purposes,

remodeling or replacements. If You don’t hire a dumpster often, You might not

understand what kind of dumpster would best suit your needs. It’s tricky when

it comes to picking the right dumpster for the job. But knowing your different

dumpster rental options will be a step ahead in figuring out what you need.

You can save a ton of money by comparing the services offered at different

prices by dumpster rental companies.

How to pick the right dumpster rental

Take size into account

You will need to determine what size of dumpster you need to use. Most

people make the mistake of ordering the wrong size and regretting it later on.

Paying for a dumpster that is half filled is pointless and so is hiring a dumpster

that is way too small to finish the job.

10-yard dumpsters are great for small remodeling projects or any cleanout that

is medium sized, say a deck that is under 200 sq. ft or a shingle roof removal

that is under 1,500 sq. ft. These dumpsters can hold material that takes up 10

cubic yards. This roughly translates to about 3 pickup trucks full of material.

A 20-yard dumpster is perfect for a medium sized remodeling project or for

any major cleanout. For instance, a carpet removal for a large house or a deck removal under 300 sq. ft. These dumpsters can hold about 20 cubic yards of

material.

30-yard dumpsters are mostly used for commercial purposes or for any major

home construction. They can hold up to 9 pickup trucks of material which adds

up to material of 30 cubic yards.

40-yard dumpsters are for commercial and industrial purposes mainly. But it is

the perfect size for a total window or siding replacement. They can hold up to

40 cubic yards of material and that would be about 12 pickup trucks of debris.

Consider what you’re throwing out

You have to consider how much waste you are going to generate. Dumpster

companies won’t usually allow you to mix the materials that go in the

dumpsters. For instance, gravel cannot be combined with any other material.

The weight of the material should also be taken in to consideration. Note that

the prices go higher as the weight increases. Consult with the dumpster

company to discuss the nature and weight of the materials.

Get into the legalities

According to the law certain hazardous waste needs to be handled properly

and cannot be disposed of just by anyone. This includes oil filters, chemical

products, pesticides, radioactive material, paints & solvents, dead animals,

flammable content, medical waste, batteries, and so many more. You need to

ensure you aren’t disposing any items illegally.

Finally, spend time comparing rates and services. Make sure you inquire about

tipping charges, late fees or fuel surcharges. You can also try to negotiate or

personalize the services to your needs.

DUMPSTER RENTAL FOR SPRING CLEANING

Its that time of year again, spring cleaning!! Time to make space in the garage for your car, clear out that spare room for an office or home gym, or make room for the lawn mower in the shed. But thats alot of stuff so you will need a dumpster rental service to help haul off all your junk. There is a lot to consider before you know what dumpster rental will be right for your spring cleaning project. Here's some tips to get you started  

How much stuff could you get rid of?

We all know it’s hard to part with the stuff that fills up our lives, even if it sits in our garage year round. But the relief one feels once they begin to through out the clutter is addicting, you may get rid of more than you ever thought you could. Remember when your picking your dumpster to overestimate the amount of trash you could throw away. It would be much more expensive to rent a dumpster that is too small for the job and then have to get another.

For the biggest spring cleanouts a 15 yard dumpster should do the trick. A two car garage or two spare rooms filled with clutter could probably fill up a 15 yard. They are a little bigger than a large SUV and fit nicely on standard driveway.

For medium sized cleanouts a 12 yard dumpster is the best choice. A 12 yard will hold a partially filled two car garage of junk or one full single car garage. Two spare rooms could still be cleaned out using a 12 yard. One advantage to 12 yard dumpsters is they are easy to fit into a garage. So if your cleaning while it’s still cold outside you can avoid trips in and out of your house all day.

For small jobs a 10 yard dumpster is all that is needed. Your could clean out a spare room or single car garage with a 10 yard dumpster. They can easily fit into your garage like the 12 yards and some you can even move around without heavy equipment.

Could you use help?

Did you know that we have employees you can hire for the day to help you get rid of all the junk in your spring cleaning project? We do, and there’s plenty of reasons to have these guys help you! Our junk haulers could cut your cleaning time in half easily by moving the bulk of the heavy trash out of your project. If you need to throw away couches, lazy chairs, armoires, you name it our junk haulers will help you get it into the dumpster. Sometimes fitting a couch through a door can be tricky. You have to know what angle to hold it at and sometimes disassemble parts to get couches out of the room. Some very heavy furniture is easier to move with techniques using straps and dollies. All of these issues our junk haulers have dealt with and their experience will speed up your spring cleaning project.

Could you donate?

If your getting rid of an entire room often you might be throwing out furniture that could be useful to someone else. Before you decide to throw everything into a dumpster you should consider what you could donate. Donating can save you money at the dump and divert material away from the landfill. You could also be furnishing someone’s home who really needs it!

What you can’t throw into a dumpster?

Often when digging through the piles of trash, especially in a garage, customers come across things like oil filters, chemical products, pesticides, paints, solvents, flammable liquids or material, batteries, and more. These products are not appropriate for roll off dumpsters and should be disposed of at your local municipal hazardous waste drop off site. Other waste that you should not throw in a roll off dumpster is dead animals, radioactive material, and medical waste.
