One of the best ways to reduce packaging waste is to purchase materials that are made using recycled materials. While these don’t eliminate waste, they do help provide uses for old packaging materials and prevent the need to collect more raw ingredients for continued manufacturing. Recycling those same products helps complete the cycle and reduces the need for new materials in the supply chain. You can also upcycle some packing materials, like cardboard and plastic, for use in crafts and organizational tools.

The smallest dumpsters typically available can hold 2 cubic yards and measure 6 feet by 8 feet at 3 feet deep. These are ideal for small cleanup jobs, can hold around 400 pounds, and cost between $75 and $200 per week to rent. For even smaller jobs, there is also the option of renting a dumpster bag. A dumpster bag can come in a variety of sizes and often costs between $100 and $180 per week.

Sometimes you may be able to leave the bags with your regular trash. However, that’s not always the case. Call your local waste management prior to starting the removal and ask about the proper ways to recycle or dispose of removed insulation. In many cases, your town or municipality has a designated dumpster for building waste.
