Winter Dumpster Rental

It’s not easy being cold.

Winters in the Indianapolis area, especially, are pretty brutally chilly. We’re used to the snow, sleet, and ice that comes along with it, but what if you’re in the middle of a project?

Using a dumpster rental container during this season is a little bit harsher on the extremities, but it’s nothing a few tips and tricks can’t guide you through!

1. Protect yourself from the elements. Our number one priority is the safety and health of our clients. Keeping yourself wrapped up in warm layers can really reduce the amount of procrastination you’re probably thinking of putting in. We’re going to sound motherly here, but please take precautions and use gloves, hats, earmuffs – whatever you have that will keep you warm and toasty while you’re working outside. 
2. Use a tarp (or something) to cover the dumpster if we have impeding rain/snow/other falling things from the sky. This will help you avoid snow/rain covered stuff in the dumpster, as well as to avoid any extra weight in your dumpster. This may even help deter that pesky neighbor who’s been trying to use your dumpster for their own junk. 
3. If it’s snowy, clear the area you’ll be walking to and from in. It’s just easier this way. A few quick passes with the shovel to make transporting big (or small) items to the dumpster is a simple solution and will keep you on track with your loading schedule.
4. Get rid of the ice anywhere near the dump site. This is basically just a safety reminder that black ice happens and we’re all too familiar with that “OH CRAP” feeling when you’re falling from the unexpected slip. Use salt or whatever your preferred method of ice melting is to leave you with a smooth, safer surface.

Happy Holidays from Greenway!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!

& A Happy New Year 🙂 

From everyone here at Greenway Dumpsters, we want to wish you all an incredibly magical holiday season and a great start to 2018. 

Whether you’re renting a dumpster or not, we seriously appreciate your support. Simply stopping by this blog post to give it a read is one of the small acts of support we’re referring to. We’ve met so many people and made amazing connections through the years, we’re just so grateful to still be Indy’s #1 dumpster rental provider. 

Looking for gift ideas? Well, if you know anyone who’s doing some remodeling, a major clean out, or junk haul, offer to pay for their dumpster rental! It’s a great outside-of-the-norm gift that is extremely beneficial and one they’re sure not to forget! It’ll also be a way to reduce waste – don’t bother with the cutesy paper bags and other wasteful gift-giving materials. 

Halloween Hacks • Recycling and Reducing Waste

We pride ourselves on our recycling promise to our clients.

Why not spread around the joy of what recycling can help you achieve on a daily basis? Here are some awesome ideas for a reduced-waste Halloween in 2017!

• Make your own costume! This one can be ultra-helpful when it comes to recycling. Look for things in your home already that could be re-purposed into parts of your costume, like boxes or cardboard. Think thrift-store if you can’t find anything laying around.
• Don’t throw away your pumpkins! Most of the time we get excited and carve pumpkins way early in the season, leaving us with a bunch of yucky, moldy pumpkin shells. This time, think ahead and choose to compost it or to toss it out to your local animals as a delicious snack!

• Americans spend tons of money (literally over 41 MILLION pounds of waste is produced) on Halloween. Try saving that money on Halloween decor, candy, costumes, and more by looking for things you already have in the house. Make your own special treats or thoughtful DIY handouts, and use natural elements for decor that you can keep around and use year after year.
• Leave the car at home! Get some exercise, make it a priority to dress warm if necessary, and avoid the extra air pollutants at least one night.

There are plenty of ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle your Halloween items – just think outside the box!

Hazardous Waste Materials & Why We Don’t Carry Them

It seems like there’s always a long list of “exceptions” right after any offer.

That part you’re probably right about, but what’s more important here is if they company you’re working with is being up front with you or not.

Transparency has always been big in our business – we have never been the ones trying to sell you a service you don’t need for a price that is beyond what you’re capable of paying. Instead, we’ve always offered a flat-rate price per dumpster and we’ve always told you what we can (and can’t) do.

You might have seen our FAQ Page with a list of things we cannot haul with our dumpsters. Most items on this list are hazardous items that have a separate form of transportation and disposal entirely. This is about as far as it gets for us. 

There are no hidden extra fees, no small print to read between the lines of, and definitely no hoops to jump through to get us to deliver or pick up on time. Everything you need to know can be found on our website and if you don’t see it there, simply give us a call. We love to talk to people and we love doing things the old fashioned way – the right way. 

Downsizing With Greenway Can Mean Big Things!

There may come a time in your life where you’ve got way more garbage than your average trash can will handle.

That’s often when you think to yourself, I know a company that rents out big dumpsters! 

But do you know how easy (and smart)  it really is to rent a dumpster for your property? If you’re still on the fence, here’s why people love Greenway.

WITH GREENWAY:

You can get an obligation-free quote, schedule pickup/drop off with a simple phone call, and the standard rental period is 7 days.

Recycled Easter Eggs

There are TONS of Easter Egg hunts going on in Indianapolis this weekend…

(they’ve been going on each weekend since late March!) and we’re assuming you’ll find yourself at at least one of them! If not, you’re probably DIYing it for free at home, which is even better. Regardless, you’re bound to have a pile of over 300 eggs taking over a section of your home that they just do not need to be in. Typically, people toss em. They’re cheap, easy to refill, and very available in even grocery stores these days.

We found a few great ways to re purpose those cheap little thrills! First – have your Easter Egg Hunt, and as a suggestion you should have an egg-return bucket at the end of the day so you’re not finding egg halves all over your lawn for the next 5 months. Then, take them and get creative! Using stone fleck spray, you can make these babies look like they’re at least $5.00 a piece – put them in a dollar store glass vase and you’ve got yourself a DIY designer display. The possibilities are probably endless here, but this one was our favorite.

Have your own ideas about re purposing Easter eggs? Share them on our social media pages! We love to hear from you!

Curiously Warm Winter

Have you noticed how much snow we didn’t get this year?

Or how warm it was? And what does that have to do with dumpster rentals?

While most of us welcomed the warmer temperatures, it brought a little bit of concern as well. Why could it be getting warmer?

And while we’ll leave that answer to the scientists, we can’t deny the fact that landfills are not helping the environment in any way. Changing the way you recycle could change things around the world.

We want you to consider that when you’re choosing Greenway Dumpsters as your dumpster rental service. We take the junk you throw into the dumpster and make sure we sort it and recycle all of the material we can. We understand it’s an extra step, but we also know we’re doing our part for the future residents of this Earth and we want you to be conscious of that in your end decision when choosing a dumpster rental company.

We offer affordable rates and we do the right thing, that’s all we’re here for. No sales tactics, just honest business.

And as always, we’re trying to offer you the most convenient services. If you have any extra needs or questions about the dumpster rental process, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
