The Dumpster Arrives

In September 2007, the planning phase of our project finally gave way to building. One of the first steps was getting a dumpster on site. Naturally, as part of our green approach, we are eager to limit the waste we produce on site. Based on his experience in traditional building modes, our contractor suggested that we "start with" a 30-yard dumpster and "go from there." The woman who answered the phone at the dumpster company agreed that 30-yards was the right size for a kitchen renovation. Apparently, just the bulky kitchen cabinets would fill it up. A 30-yard dumpster is huge -- approximately the size of a trailer. We will report periodically on how much of this space we actually use.
