Everyone at Blue Box Rentals hopes you and your family have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!

Labor Day weekend is the unofficial end of summer. We hope it was a great season and hope the fall is even better. We know this time of year can be hectic, because of back to school and all the outdoor stuff that happens in the fall. But, if you find yourself tackling a big clean out, clean up or home improvement project, we can help haul the mess away. Our dumpsters are a perfect fit at homes and businesses. The junk goes in and then we take it away.

Another thing we love at this time of year is a good set of trivia questions. Well, that may not be completely true, but we do have some great facts about the Labor Day holiday. And while most know that Labor Day in the United States is celebrated on the first Monday in September, many might not know it honors the American labor movement, which brought strength, prosperity and well-being to our country. There are currently about 157 million people above the age of 16 in the country’s workforce.

This year’s holiday is Monday, September 3rd.
