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

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!

Revamp the Basement for the Kids

revampthebasementforthedisRevamp the Basement for the Kids

Revamp the basement for the kids to keep them busy and out of your hair this winter.  Cold weather outside can lead to too many hours inside.  One way to keep the whole family sane is to change your basement into a play area filled with fun and educational stations.

Sensory Table

If you have toddlers set up a sensory table to introduce them to a variety of hands on learning.  Sensory tables are great for building concentration and motor skills all while having fun and getting messy.

If the basement is carpeted place a washable play mat under the table or set the table inside of a baby pool to contain spills, dirt or sand.

Mini Kitchen

For children three and up create a mini kitchen.   This is another great learning opportunity for kids to work on imaginative play and practice motor skills.

Stock the kitchen with play food, utensils, pots and pans and watch your children become master chefs.

Dress Up

Dress up is another favorite way to stave off boredom.  I know two boys who loved their super hero costumes and not many girls who couldn’t resist their mom’s beads, long scarfs and handbags.  Decorate a small corner of the basement with a full-length mirror, wall hooks, a big box of accessories, a trunk of fun clothes and costumes (including old Halloween stuff) and watch your child’s imagination run wild.

Climbing Wall

When the kids are literally climbing the walls send them up the wall!   Here is an article on how to build a safe DYI climbing wall.  It’s not as complicated as you may think.  A few simple things like a gymnastics mat, plywood, and climbing holds will have your kids thinking they are Indiana Jones.

Gaming Center

Lastly, build a media – game night center.  This is a wonderful way to spend quality time together as a family.

Yard sales and Thrift Stores are great places to find a big comfy couch, an entertainment center with shelves, a monitor, a portable popcorn machine and table with four to six chairs.

Keep board games and playing cards on the shelves.  Designate a gaming night or just call an impromptu gaming day.
