Renting A 20 Yard Dumpster In Tampa

20 Yard Dumpster Rental

new barn One of our sister farms in Tampa, Florida had a full renovation of their barn and the results are beautiful. I spoke with my contact there about the process and she said that the renovation went pretty smooth and was on time for the most part. There were definitely some ups and downs about the project, but overall they are pleased with the results. The biggest thing she took away from the experience was the value of the 20-yard dumpster she had rented from a local company. Having the ability to dump debris as they tore down the barn really sped up the progress of the construction.

The barn structure itself had storm damage that made it unsafe for the horses to stay in there and the property was in need of a complete overhaul. The roof had been torn off by heavy winds, and there was some structural damage that happened to the property as well. They gutted the barn almost entirely and reinforced the frame with steel reinforcement beams, rebuilt the walls, and added a new metal roof. There was a ton of construction material from the project that needed to be hauled away and this is where the 20-yard dumpster became so useful.

They were able to load all of the scrap wood and metals from the renovation into the dumpster with a CAT rental they got in Tampa. The property also had some trees down from the storm that needed to be removed from the property and they used this as an opportunity to get that done. They used a tree removal service in Tampa that was able to cut the trees into manageable pieces, then with the CAT, they were able to load it all into the 20-yard dumpster. Construction debris, storm debris, trees, and various other items found on the property were loaded into the dumpster.

There was also a secondary storage unit on the property was gutted of old horseshoes and random farm supplies that were no longer being used by the property owners or the families that rented space there. tampa barnHaving a dumpster dropped off for a week made cleaning the property an event that got everyone involved. Neighboring farms came buy to unload trash build-up that had been littering their properties and they filled the entire 20-yard dumpster before it was hauled off. Sounds to me like they could have had a BBQ and trash haul day at the farm. Getting the neighbors involved to pitch in the rental of a 20-yard dumpster is also an option if you don’t think that the construction waste from the project will be enough to fill it.

Florida has some of the most beautiful horse farms in the country. Horse farms like In The Breeze Ranch is one of the best places for public horseback riding in Florida. People travel from out of state to ride horses in Florida, although Disney attractions and the Miami club scene are probably some of the first things people think about when visiting Florida. The horse community there is strong and there is plenty of money there to support it. So when one of these farms decides to renovate or build new structures on their property you know it will be done with an extreme attention to detail.

 

We renovated a small stable once and didn’t have access to a mobile dumpster. We broke up most of the wood and turned it into firewood, then we recycled the metal at a local steel recycling plant. Having a dumpster liner dropped off would have made that process so much easier, and more convenient. Tampa, Florida has plenty of recycling centers around town that allow local residents to drop off scrap metal, but we had to load our half-ton truck by hand which was a daunting task. Having a 20-yard dumpster dropped off on the property next time will definitely make things easier for us and our stable crew.

Renovations on any property can generate a lot of unwanted trash and debris, having a dumpster on the property to load it all into makes the cleanup process so much better. I had never really considered all that goes into a large barn renovation and I appreciate her sharing that with us. Next time we renovate any of our properties we will definitely be renting a dumpster.
