Question 1

Is it better to hire movers or move by myself?

Accepted Answer

Generally, you should hire movers when moving large, heavy objects. Professional movers can take much of the work off your hands and remove the risk of personal injury. But if you’re only moving a few light items, you can save money by making the move on your own and renting a moving truck.

Question 2

What is not allowed in a roll-off dumpster?

Accepted Answer

Several types of items aren't allowed in roll-off dumpsters. First of all, hazardous materials and hazardous liquids are a no-go. This includes asbestos, oil, wet paint and other materials. Other banned items include batteries, electronics with lithium batteries, propane tanks, tires, and appliances with refrigerants. Some areas have shifting requirements (for instance, certain locations do not allow mattresses), so check with your local regulatory agency.
