March Means Spring, and Spring Cleaning

March brings spring, which brings “better” weather, which brings the start of spring cleaning season.

Now is the time to start thinking about getting outside. But, since the weather will be “iffy” at best for a few weeks, it’s a great time to tackle that attic, basement and/or garage. And the best way to do that is to order a residential-sized dumpster for the junk that needs to go to the landfill.

Just think, if you get the work done now, you can enjoy the great weather when it shows up by Easter.

While you’re thinking about which area to tackle first, enjoy this interesting information about the third month of the year.
