Container Services
Roll off containers are the perfect answer to Fall remodeling jobs.
Fall is a great time to start those remodeling projects you’ve been putting off, especially replacing the siding on your home. In the Spring, the remodeling fever strikes everyone and contractors are busy, busy bees. Prices go up on jobs as well as materials – the law of supply and demand.
In the fall, as business starts to slack off, contractors get a little more “hungry.” Usually, in very cold climates construction companies want to keep their crews working as long as possible before shutting down for the year. You’ll find quotes for replacing siding lower, especially when you get at least 3 written estimates from contractors who know they are competing for your business.
Siding is almost as fashionable as ladies dresses. The Spring’s siding showcase has to be cleared off the floors to make room for next year’s designs. You might be so lucky as to find siding on sale or a discounted rate.
Plus, the mid-range temperatures of Fall are ideal for vinyl siding installation. The heat of summer can make vinyl expand. If it is installed in hot weather and nailed too tightly, it might buckle or crack when it contracts in the cold weather of winter.
Another big plus for replacing your siding in the Fall is that it can help to lower heating bills. Gaps in old siding or the lack of house wrap on your home can let in Old Man Winter. If you have new siding installed this fall, a competent siding crew will caulk gaps in the construction before putting on the new siding. If your home doesn’t have house wrap, this is an ideal opportunity to put it on before it is covered up by the new siding.
Now that you’ve decided to tackle the siding this Fall you’ll need a roll off container to haul away the old siding and materials. Contact R & R Container Service today at 770-975-9554, or browse the website for more information about container dimensions or our hauling services.

Yard clean up from summer afternoon and evening thunderstorms is becoming a way of life for Marietta Georgia and the surrounding areas.
Georgia blue skies inevitably and quickly turn into dark clouds, followed by torrential rains, gusty winds, claps of thunder and intimidating white/blue lightning.
Some storms even cause a great amount of mischief, knocking out power, flooding streets and yards and felling trees.
Were you one of the unlucky ones to be left a mess of downed trees, power lines and other storm debris after severe thunderstorms swept through Georgia on July 15th, 2015?
One of the areas hit hardest by that line of storms was metro Atlanta. Numerous trees were blown down in the Battle Ridge subdivision off Burnt Hickory Road just west of Marietta. One of those trees fell onto a house on Caisson Drive after snapping off at the base of its trunk.
The forecast: more of the same. The storms can be expected near daily, or at the very least, a few times a week.
It coincides with high temperatures, which results in more rain as a counter to hot days. Should anyone be surprised? Of course not.
Georgia’s weather is typical of a humid subtropical climate with most of the state having mild winters and hot, muggy summers. Thunderstorms thrive under these conditions. The two most basic elements that cause a thunderstorm to develop are moisture and rapidly rising hot air.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service, approximately 1,800 thunderstorms are occurring at any given time. That is about 16-million thunderstorms every year. All that adds up to a lot of storm detritus.
Are you prepared for summer storm yard clean up? Don’t be caught with downed trees and limbs or clogged drains from storm debris.

As August approaches, so does the humidity and overgrowth of mold in Acworth causing allergies and asthma in some people- Learn more about it now!
Mold is a fungus commonly found in moist areas such as on logs, fallen leaves, in bathrooms and basements. Mold is potentially anywhere there is moisture or dampness. Mold, unlike plants and flowers, produce spores. These spores travel through the air and get inhaled in our lungs, similar to pollen, to create an allergic reaction in some of us creating mold allergies. These spores are not visible to the naked eye. They are very resilient and can survive in dry and harsh environments where mold can not grow. Traveling through air, mold spores land on a moist and humid surfaces enabling mold to grow. There are many different types of mold, indoor and outdoor being the two most prominent when dealing with mold in Acworth.
Indoor mold in Acworth is often referred to as mildew. This is a particular mold in the home that is white or gray in color and commonly found growing in showers, under sinks, in drains, drywall, ceiling tiles, carpets, furniture, ducts, wallpaper and around plumbing pipes. Black mold which is greenish-black in color is also found indoors but is not as common. Indoor mold has the potential to cause health problems and can destroy surfaces and objects where it grows.
Outdoor mold in Acworth is most common in damp, dark areas of decomposing plant life. It is often found growing on rotting logs, fallen leaves, grass and in piles of compost. Outdoor molds are not destroyed with the cold and frost in the fall and winter like pollen. Its growth just remains dormant until spring and summer.
Similar to most allergies, mold allergy symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy, swollen, irritated eyes and ears, hives, rash, coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing and worsening asthma symptoms. Individuals with mold allergies can have greater symptoms and a higher severity of symptoms based on their sensitivity to it as well as the type of mold they are exposed to.

Summer and swimming go hand in hand- so keep everyone safe this summer by knowing the pool safety rules.
It’s been a hot summer. Luckily we still have several weeks left to enjoy it. The hotter it is, the more we want to enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool. Taking the kids to the pool and enjoying the weather is what summer is all about. Drownings are a fear parents always have to consider, especially during the summer months. So here are a few things to consider to keep everyone safe.
Avoid the chance of getting trapped. Suction from a pool’s drain is so powerful it can trap an adult underwater. Be sure to check for and replace missing or broken drain covers.
Learning how to swim: To stay safe in the water, all family members should learn how to swim. Those who cannot swim should wear approved floatation devices.
CPR knowledge can save a life. Learn CPR and basic water rescue skills.This can truly be a life or death skill to have.
Being observant and following these pool safety rules can help keep everyone safe. Summer just isn’t summer without trips to the pool. R&R Container Service wants you and your family to have a safe summer! Please contact us for any of your container or hauling service needs.

Marietta, Georgia is, without a doubt, a beautiful community which many of us call home. There are many great local businesses, friendly neighbors, and wonderful schools for our kids. It’s a happy and peaceful community today. But, in the early 30 years of Marietta history, the town had seen more excitement and milestones than most towns see in a century.
Before there was an Atlanta or a Chattanooga there was Marietta, Georgia. A small cluster of homes near the Cherokee town of Kennesaw were reported as early as 1824. An early road in what would become Cobb County crossed the “Shallow Ford” of the Chattahoochee and ran just south of these settlers.
The state of Georgia formed 10 counties from previously owned Cherokee land in 1832. One of those, Cobb county, was named after US representative Thomas Willis Cobb. Marietta was reported to be named after Cobb’s wife, Mary. Georgia legislature recognized the town of Marietta officially in 1834.
A few years later, the US ARMY Corps of Engineers was chosen to head the Western and Atlantic Railroad with its home base in Marietta. Due to this project, business began to boom. This was a significant turn of events for the little town. Upon completion of the railroad project, the sport of horse racing gained popularity. These races took place in the approximate area of the present-day Marietta Welcome Center and Visitors Bureau. Tanyards started to become a thriving business during this time as well. In 1848, the town incorporated and elected its first mayor, John Glover. By 1850, the major portion of the city’s income was dependent on the railroad business and tanyards. The Georgia Military Institute was built in 1851. And, the first bank was opened in 1855. However, during the 1850s, three major fires destroyed most of the city. William Tecumseh Sherman moved in and occupied the town in 1864 during the Civil War.
