July in Southern Ontario is synonymous with celebration—Canada Day cookouts, backyard weddings, family reunions, and community festivals. And while these events bring people together for sun, food, and fun, there’s one thing they all seem to leave behind: a whole lot of waste.
If you're planning to host a large summer event this month, it might be time to think beyond just extra trash bags. Here's how renting a dumpster bin can help you keep the good vibes going—without the post-party mess.
Summer Events Bring Unexpected Waste
You might be surprised how quickly garbage piles up during even a modest gathering. Here’s where the bulk of the waste comes from:
- Food packaging & containers
- Disposable plates, cups & cutlery
- Decorations and balloons
- Cardboard boxes, wrapping, and drink trays
- Old furniture or yard junk you cleared to make room
What starts as a fun backyard celebration can turn into a logistical nightmare when your regular garbage bins are overflowing and city pickup won’t arrive for another week.
5 Events That Could Benefit from a Bin Rental
1. Canada Day Block Parties
With fireworks, food trucks, lawn games, and dozens of neighbors, these celebrations are beloved—but they generate bags upon bags of waste. A shared bin rental for your street can keep cleanup contained and fast.
2. Backyard Weddings
DIY weddings are increasingly popular, but they also come with loads of décor, floral waste, and packaging. Renting a small dumpster ensures your special day stays picture-perfect—even after it’s over.
3. Renovation Before the Party
Many hosts spruce up their homes or backyards in the weeks leading up to an event. Instead of juggling contractors and trash bags, streamline your workflow with a bin on-site from the start.
4. Family Reunions
Hosting extended family often means rearranging furniture, clearing out the shed, or decluttering guest rooms. A rental bin makes quick work of the excess without multiple trips to the landfill.
5. Community Festivals or Fundraisers
Larger public events—like car washes, sports tournaments, or church fairs—are great for raising money and bringing people together. But they also need proper waste management to avoid overwhelm.
Top Benefits of Renting a Bin for Your Event
1. Convenience
No need to stockpile garbage bags or make back-and-forth trips to the dump. With a bin on-site, cleanup is contained, quick, and easy.
2. Timely Pickup
You can schedule your bin pickup for the morning after your event—so you're not left looking at piles of trash while recovering from a long day.
3. No Overloaded Curb
Municipal waste collection typically won’t handle large volumes or certain types of waste (like bulk furniture). A bin rental keeps you compliant and clutter-free.
4. Protect Your Guests
Exposed nails, loose debris, or stacked trash bags can be hazardous—especially with kids running around. A closed bin keeps your space safer for everyone.
Planning Tips for Event Bins
- Estimate Volume Wisely
A 10-yard bin is usually enough for moderate-sized events, but if you’re expecting over 50 guests or managing a block party, a 14 or 20-yard might be a better fit.
- Keep It Accessible, But Out of Sight
Position your bin where guests won’t trip over it, but close enough to encourage quick disposal. Behind the garage or beside a fence works great.
- Set Ground Rules
If your event spans several homes or involves lots of guests, set up signs or assign someone to monitor bin use so it doesn’t get misused.
