As tenants move out of your multi-family home or apartment unit, trash can pile up quickly. As a landlord, it’s your responsibility to provide appropriate receptacles to store any garbage until it can be taken to the landfill. Trash left behind after a move won’t always fit in a standard trash bin. Consider renting a dumpster to solve this issue.

3 Reasons to Rent a Dumpster for Your Multi-Unit Property 

1. Simplify Move-Ins & Move-Outs 

As tenants move in or out of your complex, it can generate a lot of garbage. By providing a dumpster, you can ensure tenants don't leave behind a mess of recycling moving boxes and packing material. Having a dumpster is also handy if your tenants leave behind items that are too bulky for regular trash receptacles, like old or broken furniture.

Being able to dispose of items in a dumpster can also make your apartment turnover process faster. If your crews have to replace carpets, for example, they’ll have a proper place to dispose of the old remnants.

2. Maintain a Sanitary Environment

One of your primary responsibilities as a landlord is to provide a safe and sanitary environment for your tenants. Without an appropriate place to put trash, it can pile up around the building—even in indoor hallways—creating odors and attracting pests.

Not only does this create an unhealthy environment, but it also puts you in potential violation of local ordinances. Dirty, smelly, or unclean areas will also keep potential tenants from wanting to rent with you.  

3. Prevent Seasonal Trash BuildUp 

Not only can holiday celebrations create excess waste, but holidays can also disrupt city trash pickup schedules. This could result in overflowing trash rooms or trash spilling out into apartment complex hallways. It could also overwhelm outdoor bins that can’t accommodate the increase in garbage. A dumpster provides plenty of space for these seasonal periods of extra trash, keeping the property neat and tidy.
