Organizing For Your New Year’s Resolution

So you’re committed to a cleaner new year! A good reset is necessary every so often. Out with the old, in with the new, as they say! Well, we at R&R Containers want to support you in organizing for your new year’s resolution.

First, have you thought about logistics? That’s our expertise! Depending on how well you’re able to follow through on a proper clean out, your regular trash service may not be prepared to handle the volume of your resolve. That’s a good thing! You just let us handle that part. For you:

The biggest and most common space in need of these new year’s resolution clean-outs is the garage! When was the last time you got to start from scratch with yours? When you moved in? You’re not alone! We’re here to help!

How To Do a New Year’s Resolution Clean-Out

First, empty that garage! There’s no full reset without a fresh start! Go ahead and get everything out of there, sorting everything into groups as you go. We love a classic Keep, Trash and Sell/Donate system. This is where a roll off dumpster rental starts coming in handy. Instead of a trash pile in and around your overflowing garbage bin, toss it all directly in a dumpster in your driveway!

Second, clean it out! Time to sweep corners and crevices for cobwebs, and remove all that dirt and dust that’s built up! Again, right into your roll off dumpster rental.

Next, consider storage. Look at what’s left, and install any rack or shelving you think would work well.

Lastly, load it back in! A clean garage is a hugely satisfying kickoff to a new year’s resolution. With our dumpsters, you’re done! We’ll come right along and finish that cleanup.

Georgia Summer Events

Georgia Summer Events

Whether you’re in Marietta like us, up in Athens at the University of Georgia, or anywhere else in our beautiful state, the summer is a time for being outdoors. We all fill our time with outdoor events, such as the Glover Park concert series, or Georgia Movies In The Park. There’s always something to do, and our time would feel empty without Georgia summer events!

We at R&R Containers know the importance of properly managing an event. Imagine for a moment that you’re out at the park, and there’s a country covers band up on the stage. As your kids run and play, the band wraps up and steps offstage. we’re running smooth, until the speakers start blasting heavy metal! The kids are hollering, covering their ears, and you’re looking for an exit plan, right?

While a Georgia summer event may benefit from music to fill the space between bands, it needs to be the right stuff, and done the right way! Now picture a movie In the park type event. Georgia parks aren’t always set up for a ton of people, and they may simply have some plastic city garbage bins. What happens when a couple hundred people show up? These folks are eating hotdogs, drinking sodas, throwing popcorn around. They’re going to fill up those bins in NO time! And if we get a really strong wind? That popcorn is EVERYWHERE! Just like that, because an event was too successful, or because weather was just a little unexpected, the garbage bins stopped being the right stuff.

Georgia Summer Events Need the Right Stuff

If they had been fully prepared with a roll off dumpster, the event would continue to be a hit! People going out to Georgia summer events shouldn’t need to worry about getting caught in a popcorn tornado. With the right stuff from R&R, you can count on well-contained trash that gets hauled away when everything is done!

How to “Home Stage” for Today’s Market

How to “Home Stage” for Today’s Market

How to home stage for today’s market without breaking the bank. Every homeowner’s #1 priority should be to make the property more alluring to prospective buyers. In this article is a list of home staging tips to lure the prospective buyer and to help you get a fair market price.

Neutral is better

Touching up paint, upgrading old appliances and fixtures and cleaning out closets, the basement and garage will definitely give you an edge in today’s competitive real estate market. Though, be careful when choosing colors and styles. Burgundy and dark counter tops may be a favorite of yours but maybe not for a potential buyer. Keep colors, décor and designs as middle-of-the-road as possible.

Furniture options

Take in to account the size of rooms when placing furniture. The furniture should “fit” the room. If the room is small, stick to smaller sized couches and chairs. If the room is spacious, over-sized furniture will give it that cozy feel without looking cluttered. Find the balance.

Know the target audience

Real estate is not a general market. Educate yourself on the target audience that is buying in your demography.

For example, if young professionals or millennia are shopping the area, remodel in a more contemporary style. But if the target audience leans toward the elderly, upgrades should be subdued, landscaping easily maintainable with easy access to entrance doors.

Set a reasonable asking price

Don’t make the mistake of listing your home too high on the market. Do a comparable market analysis to find out what the average price is for the area to ensure the property will appeal to the widest range of buyers.

Even if the house looks awesome, overpriced property can make it considerably harder for prospective buyers to make an offer.

Don’t overspend on renovations

In this market, investing in expensive renovations will no longer get the return it once did. Perspective buyers aren’t going to look at the upgrades, they are going to look at the bottom line of the house compared to others in the neighborhood.

Invest in things such as light fixtures, cabinet drawer pulls and a new alarm system. Touch up paint throughout the house and de-clutter closets, the garage, attic and basement.

To make the de-cluttering aspect cost efficient call R & R Containers. They can deliver the right sized roll-off container to your front door.

The above tips will help you get the most from your staging efforts, and R & R Container can help you get the most from your clean up. Call today to order your container in Marietta, GA and the surrounding areas 770-975-9554.

De-clutter Before the Holidays with a Roll Off Container

De-clutter Before the Holidays with a Roll Off Container

De-clutter before the holidays with a Roll Off Container so that there is more room for guests and new items. It’s that wonderful time of year again. The time to unwrap the Santa figurines, untangle the Christmas lights and hang up the mistletoe. This is also the perfect time to toss unwanted toys, old clothing, broken items and appliances that have been on the “fix it” list forever. Clean up, clean out and discard should be the new holiday jingle.

One assured way to have this happen is to stack the Christmas decorations in the back of a closet, garage, basement or attic. To reach them, the family has to dig through all the “stuff” that’s been dumped there in the last twelve months. Call it “Seasons Cleanings and a Tidy New Year”.

Systematically, go through the house and place all the unwanted items earmarked for the trash in a pile. But before you start hauling it all to the curb consider a few things. A lot of neighborhoods have joint efforts for decorating and no one is going to appreciate a mountain of furniture, appliances and old toys on the roadside. Most trash services won’t pick up furniture or appliance. You can’t leave the pile in the middle of your living room. So, what is the best option?

Call and have a roll off container delivered right to the front door. This makes the cleaning out process simpler and easier to accomplish.

Now, haul all the unwanted items to the container and in they go. No fuss, no muss and it’s actually more economical than doing it yourself. When you factor in time, fuel, and transfer station fees, hiring a roll off container is the most economical way to go.

Just think how impressed your in-laws will be when they see a neat and tidy basement, garage and closets. Family and friends will applaud your efforts and probably want to know what your secret is to keeping your home from overflowing with stuff.

Tell them to follow this one simple rule. If you haven’t used or needed it in twelve months, get rid of it. Odds are it won’t be missed in the next twelve months but of course, by then it will be time to start the “Seasons Cleanings and a Tidy New Year” all over again.

Home Improvement Projects for Maximizing Resale Value and Roll Off Container Rentals

Container Services

If you’re planning on selling your home, then you probably want to do everything you can to get top dollar. Oftentimes people selling their home will take on home improvement projects in an attempt to add resale value. However, if things go wrong or the homeowners choose the wrong things to sink their cash into, they can end up shelling out more than the improvements will add in value. So, what are the best home improvement projects to take on for your home’s resale value? Let’s take a look below. Of course, a great way to save money on many home improvement projects is with a roll off container rental from R&R Containers.

Best DIY Projects for ROI – and how a roll off container rental can help

Remodels – when many people think of value adding upgrades, they think of remodels. And it’s true that a kitchen or bath remodel can, in some cases, end up turning a profit. However, it’s easy to get too deep into these projects, and then they end up costing more than their worth, so keep an eye on the budget if you’re going to take one on. Of course, a roll off container rental is a great, cost effective way to get rid of the waste from your remodel.

Energy saving upgrades – while it might not be as flashy as a remodel, buyers are placing more and more emphasis on energy saving upgrades. Jobs like adding insulation to the attic or installing a smart thermostat don’t cost much compared to a remodel, and they can be very attractive to environmentally and budget minded buyers.
Boost curb appeal – there’s a reason why real estate agents put so much emphasis on curb appeal – there’s no second chance to make a first impression. While many jobs, like landscaping, might be more easily done in spring, there’s plenty of favorable winter weather here in the south to squeeze some projects in. A roll off container rental will prevent you from having to make trip after trip to the dump in the freezing cold!

Roll off container rental for commercial job sites

Container Services

R&R Containers has been locally owned and operated in Acworth since 1999. We understand what it takes to be a small business owner in central Georgia, and we’re here to help you succeed. Commercial customers have a little bit different set of concerns than residential ones when it comes to roll off container rental. Since commercial operations are typically ongoing, it’s all about efficiency.

Buy local, save money

Buying local makes a big difference when it comes to dumpster rental. Most of the cost in refuse hauling is in the fuel it takes to haul the big, heavy containers. At R&R Containers, we keep our service area small, and we pass the savings in fuel costs on to our customers. Another way to make sure you’re getting the best price on your dumpster rental is to contract with the same people who will be delivering your dumpster. Many companies that claim to be dumpster rental companies are actually just agents. They contract with someone else to haul the container, and they add a middleman’s fee to the price the customer pays. Not at R&R Containers.

Save time, save money

Another important factor for commercial customers in particular is dumpster placement. When we drop off a container at a residence, there usually aren’t many choices on where we can put it. On larger, commercial job sites; however, location can make a big difference. If your employees have to carry debris a long way, you’re wasting man hours and increasing the likelihood of a workplace injury. At R&R, we strive to locate your container as close to the cleanup as possible so you can maximize your ROI.
