Moving is stressful enough without worrying about what to do with all the stuff you do not want to take with you. Whether you are moving across Rochester or across the country, a dumpster rental from Rochester Dumpster Rental Pros makes it easy to declutter, downsize, and leave your old place spotless. Here is our complete guide for making your move faster and cleaner.
When to Order Your Dumpster
Order your dumpster 3-5 days before your scheduled move. This gives you time to sort through belongings, load unwanted items into the container, and handle the move itself without a debris-filled garage or curb ruining your moving day. We offer flexible rental periods from 3 to 14 days — plenty of time for even the most complex moves.
What to Toss vs. Keep vs. Donate
Toss: Broken furniture, stained mattresses, worn-out appliances, damaged items, and anything that is not in donatable condition. These go in the dumpster.
Donate: Usable furniture, clothing, kitchen items, books, and electronics in working condition. Rochester has several excellent donation centers including Salvation Army and Goodwill locations.
Keep: Items with sentimental value, items you use regularly, and items that justify the cost of moving them to your new location.
Recommended Dumpster Sizes for Moving
10-Yard: Perfect for apartment moves or small home downsizing. Handles 3-4 rooms worth of discarded items.
15-Yard: Ideal for 2-3 bedroom homes with moderate clutter. Our most popular moving size.
20-Yard: Best for large homes, estate moves, and situations with significant accumulated clutter from years or decades of living in the same home.
