We hired a dumpster to clear out my back yard. The old fence needed to be replaced and a huge part of the replacement estimate was demoing the old one. We had several other items that needed to go too so it just made sense to do it all at once with the dumpster.
We filled it! One of the things to go was the playhouse my father built 30 something years ago. When my parents divorced and sold the house I grew up in my sister wanted the playhouse. We moved it to her house but there was no way to get it into her backyard because of the carport. So we moved it to my yard where it slowly decayed. I thought about restoring it but it was now unsafe. My BiL and DH ripped it apart in minutes. I took pictures and my sisters and I were wistful and said good bye to our childhood.
We took out some odd planters that surrounded the patio so now you can sit there and see the kids playing in the back yard. I think I need to get a termite inspection however.
Also this weekend the stuff we were storing in our shed for a group we belong to got moved to another storage facility. I'll be able to put my camping stuff in there as well as some other things from my basement. I might be able to make some messy project space in the basement so maybe just maybe maybe I'l keep the living space cleaner.
Anyway, I just wanted to advocate getting a dumpster. I looked at a lot of places and ended up going though Home Depot. YMMV
