Rental Dumpsters in New Albany, Indiana

September 6, 2023/in Commercial Dumpsters, Dumpsters, Residental Dumpsters/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Sitting on the Ohio River , connected to Louisville by the Sherman-Minton Bridge, and acting as the county seat of Floyd County, New Albany is a town with a rich history and emerging arts, culinary, and residential scene. This city sits on 15.111 square miles of land and has a population of 37,841, as of the 2020 census, a majority (~43%) of which were married couples.

New Albany’s Rich History

What started out as a tract of land given to an American Revolutionary War soldier went through several sales and owners until the 3 Scribner brothers from New York penned the town “New Albany” after Albany, New York. The town was officially incorporated in 1817 as a part of Clark County and was quickly named the county seat, and has been ever since.

The city flourished with the abundant lumber from surrounding forests fueling the steamboat industry as well as a variety of machine shops, foundries, cabinet and furniture factories, and silversmith shops. Over half of the wealthiest Hoosiers lived in New Albany during this time.

During the Civil War era, the New Albany area served as a supply center and medical care center for Union soldiers, and because of how many soldiers were treated there and/or died, President Abraham Lincoln established a national cemetery, one of only seven at the time. Despite the war, a new courthouse was built in 1865 that functioned until the 1960s and was a notable city structure for almost a century.

Other notable structures include the Town Clock Church (now the Second Baptist Church) that was used as a stop on the Underground Railroad. This church was destroyed by lightening in 1915, but a replica was finished in 2016.

As the Civil War came to a close, New Albany’s economy began a series of decline and success that bounced the city’s economics around. First opening what would become their  2nd largest business, American Plate Glass Works, in 1865, they were then boycotted from both the North for being too friendly with the South and the South for being a Union state, businesses suffered an economic blow, especially with the collapse of the steamboat industry just five years later in 1970. The city bounced back, though, and took part in an industrial boom with the addition of railroads that allowed for pork packaging and locomotive repair and the construction of a bridge to Kentucky in 1886. The American Plate Glass Works relocated in 1893, and an economic decline began with the loss of jobs and population.

Moon Dumpsters serves New Albany, IN.The 20th Century saw the largest business of New Albany come into the town – the New Albany Veneering Company – and the economic status began to improve, which was spurred on by the construction of the Sherman-Minton Bridge in 1961.

Today, the town is the host to several landmarks, including a large collection of mansions from the wealthy in the 1800s, like the Culbertson Mansion. Other popular sites of interest include the Carnegie Art and History Center, the Riverfront Amphitheatre, the River Run Family Water Park, the New Albany Farmer’s Market, and several top-rated restaurants. Foodies, families, antique lovers, theatre-goers and history nerds alike can all find something to do in New Albany!

Moon Dumpsters has dumpsters for rent in the Louisville, KY area for yard debris projects like taking down dead trees.

Signs That Your Tree is Dying or Dead

July 31, 2023/in Uncategorized/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

In a previous blog, we outlined the why in “Why You Should Remove Dead Trees From Your Yard,” but how do you know that your tree is dead or dying? There always seems to be a couple of dead branches or discolored leaves, but that doesn’t mean that your tree has called it quits and needs to be taken down. You should call a certified arborist for a second opinion before you contract a tree cleanup service or, only if you’re qualified, take your own tools to it, but there several signs to look out for when it comes to an injured or old tree that might be on its way out.

1. Peeling Bark

A healthy tree has healthy bark, and that might look a little bit different across species. In general, bark that is peeling unnaturally, is brittle, or is falling off signifies that there may be an issue with the tree. Do some research before you begin to worry though, because some trees, such as the Shagbark Hickory, Paperbark Maple, American Sycamore, and many strains of the birch tree all have bark that peels naturally.

2. Presence of Fungus On or Near Tree

Fungus feeds on decomposing matter, so it can be a great indicator that there is rot in or near your tree. If you see fungus shelves across your tree’s trunk, growing on exposed roots, or on the ground where the tree’s roots would be buried, then you’ll want to get a professional opinion on the tree’s health and whether or not you can treat it effectively.

3. Lack of Foliage

We all know that the leaves of most trees will change color and drop in the autumn and winter seasons, but if you notice all the other trees growing leaves, fruit, and flowers well into the spring and summer, but one tree is not, then it might be a sign of illness or death. Check the tree for other symptoms or contact an arborist if you have a dead-looking tree when it should be in full bloom!

4. Leaning

All trees grow towards the sun, and if structures or other obstructions stop a tree from getting the sunlight it needs in a straight line, then it will naturally grow at an angle and its root system will grow in a way that counterbalances the distribution of weight. But, if you previously had a tree growing towards the open sky that abruptly takes a turn and begins leaning, or you begin to see roots detaching from the ground at one side, then that’s a big sign your tree is unstable, dead, or dying.

5. No Green Under the Bark or Brittle Branches

You may have noticed that if you try breaking a stick off of a healthy tree that unless you have a sharp too to cut it, it’s very hard to tear or break past the green layer directly under the bark. If you can easily break multiple branches off or scratch the trunk of the tree and find no living layer under the bark, that means the tree has no nutrients being delivered and is likely dead.

6. Open Wounds or Cracks

Open wounds can be made by a variety of man-made or natural forces, including:

  • Lightning Strikes
  • Construction or Car Accidents
  • Storms and High Winds
  • Animal or Insect Damage
  • Improper Trimming
  • Moisture and Ice Damage

These wounds – especially if they are in a vertical, up-and-down position – can be difficult for trees to heal from on their own. With intervention from professionals, there is a possibility that your tree will survive, but it’s all dependent on the severity of the wound, how long the wound has been there, and the overall health of the tree.

Recycling Louisville, Things You Can Recycle

What Can I Recycle in Louisville Kentucky?

May 31, 2022/in Dumpsters, Environment, Louisville, Residental Dumpsters/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Disposing of waste in a clean and environmentally friendly manner is hard. From overrun landfills to bigger issues like this “garbage patch” in the Pacific Ocean, we clearly have some problems surrounding what to do with our garbage. Recycling is one solution and a great way to practice sustainability and conservation from home. Most cities, including Louisville, even have recycling pickup programs to make recycling as easy as possible. However, sometimes recycling can be confusing. Keeping track of everything you can and can’t recycle can leave you feeling lost, and may prevent some from recycling at all. That’s why we’ve put together this simple guide of what you can and can’t recycle here in Louisville, Kentucky. 

Do Recycle 

Paper and cardboard are recycling no-brainers. Things like newspapers, broken down cardboard boxes, and paper/cardboard drink cartons are all items that you can recycle with no issues. Similarly, you can also recycle most plastics. Things like water bottles, milk jugs, and food packaging are also allowed to be recycled in Louisville. Glass is another material commonly accepted. So if you have some old bottles or jars around the house make sure not to throw them away! The last material on our list of recycling “do’s” is metal. This includes empty cans, foil, and small foil/tin pans.

Don’t Recycle

Although the categories above contain many recyclable items, there are some notable exceptions. For example, although most glass and plastic items are accepted by the city, plastic bags and lightbulbs are not. Luckily, many stores like Kroger have their own recycling programs if you’d like to recycle your used shopping bags. Louisville also provides special recycling programs for recycling out of the ordinary items such as light bulbs, cooking oil, electronics, and batteries. Also, unfortunately styrofoam is not accepted for recycling pickup in Louisville, meaning throwing it away is the best course of action currently.

No fluids or hazardous materials are ever accepted for recycling pickup in Louisville. However, if you’re willing to put in a little extra effort, there are alternatives. Although potentially toxic materials like oil/lead based paint and old motor oil cannot be recycled normally, there are special facilities that accept them, like Louisville Metro’s hazardous materials disposal bin at 7501 Grade Lane. Always be extra careful when attempting to dispose of materials like these, since in the wrong places they could cause significant damage to the environment. 

What to do if you can’t recycle

Sometimes recycling just isn’t a reasonable waste management solution. Maybe you have too much waste to recycle, or maybe you are trying to dispose of materials that are not usually accepted for recycling like wood or old furniture. If this is the case, then Moon Mini Dumpsters might be what you need. Moon provides dumpsters of many sizes, from 6 to 40 cubic yards, to customers across Kentuckiana. Also, Moon Dumpsters is environmentally friendly, making every effort to recycle as much as possible, so you don’t need to feel guilty about throwing things away.

The area currently known as Shively was first settled by farmers in the late 1700s. Certain individuals, such as the Shively family and Colonel William Pope, owned large portions of land. Christian William Shively owned over 1,000 acres, on which he built a mill and a tavern. The tavern became a popular rest-stop for travelers on the Louisville and Nashville Turnpike, which connected downtown Louisville to the Salt River. As it grew, this area became known as the “Shively Precinct.” In the mid 1800s, Shively attracted many German immigrants who constructed St. Helen’s Catholic Church. This caused the area to briefly be known as “St. Helens.” 

What To Do in Shively

Shively offers a variety of attractions. Parks include Shively Park and Leeds Park. There are three major distilleries in Shively: Brown Forman, Stitzel-Weller, and Michter’s. Altitude Trampoline Park offers plenty of family fun, as well as Danger Run, a haunted house. Popular restaurants include Rooster’s, Indi’s, and Texas Roadhouse.

November 24, 2021/in Commercial Dumpsters, Dumpsters, Louisville, Residental Dumpsters/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Nature lovers can enjoy numerous parks in Prospect. Located on the edge of US-42, Putney’s Pond and Woodlands offers several walking trails and a fishing pond.

It became a way-station for many people travelling to Louisville, especially after the construction of the prosperous Westport Railway. In an effort to prevent Prospect from being overly-industrialized in the 1960s, the Hunting Creek and Fox Harbor subdivisions were built to provide desirable residences and preserve greenspace. In recent years, the affluent community of Norton Commons was constructed on the outskirts of Prospect.

7 Ways To Use A Dumpster This Summer

August 10, 2021/in Dumpsters, Residental Dumpsters/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

During the many months of pandemic restrictions and remote work orders, millions of people have had more time to delve into homebound activities, whether it be baking bread, planting a garden, or undergoing extensive remodeling. In fact, according to Bank of America’s 2021 Homebuyers report, over 65% of millennials intend to begin a renovation project sometime this year!

Whether you’re remodeling your entire house, finally cleaning out your garage, or just trying to repair a leaking roof, renting a mini dumpster may be the best choice you ever make! Keep reading to find out 7 common activities that call for a dumpster.

7 Ways To Use A Dumpster This Summer

1. Remodeling

Remodeling creates a lot of waste, from unwanted furniture to broken pieces of plaster, brick, wood, and other disassembled building materials. Instead of letting dust-ridden, useless trash fill up your space until you lug it to the curb, why not work as you go with a rental dumpster? Throw whatever has to go into the dumpster, and we’ll handle the rest.

2. Moving

Whether you’re moving into a new house, out of an old one, or doing both at once, you’ll likely need a dumpster rental! You’ve got junk. Whether it’s yours or the previous owner of your new house, you likely want it gone, fast, and a dumpster is the quickest, easiest way of providing space for congregating everything you don’t need.

3. Garage Cleanout

Many of us use our garages as secondary storage, allowing them to fill up with old furniture, toys, tools, and other unneeded items. If you’re thinking about taking a deep-dive into your garage this summer, or maybe hosting a garage sale, consider renting a Moon dumpster first! With a dumpster, you can quickly sort through what really matters, bringing the peace of mind of a renewed and organized space.

4. Landscaping

You may not think it, but landscaping your yard produces a lot of waste! More particularly: topsoil, loose concrete, plant scraps, old bricks, dead tree limbs and brush, a rotting deck, etc. A mini dumpster is not only convenient, but under-the-radar, allowing a months-long or days-long project to be kept tidy. Nobody wants their trash to hinder their progress, right?

5. Community Projects

If you’re involved in your local neighborhood organization, you may take part in endeavors such as a community garden, a neighborhood block party, a park clean-up, or a multi-home yard sale. Split the costs of a dumpster with your community to make the process as smooth sailing as possible!

6. Home Repairs

From natural disasters to regular wear-and-tear, all houses need repairs in time. If you’re planning any repairs this month, consider renting a dumpster. Whether you’re dealing with a flooded basement, replacing the roof, or tearing down a broken fence, a dumpster is integral to streamlining the process.

7. Hosting An Event

Are you managing a big event, like a wedding? Maybe you own your own event venue? You may be surprised with the amount of trash produced by a large-scale celebration. Investing in a dumpster can be a surefire way to get a handle on all that waste, from plates, food, cups, garbage bags and other disposable materials.

Consider renting a Moon Mini Dumpster, no matter what size project you choose to undertake. Our driveway dumpsters come in 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yard capacities.

Eco-Friendly Remodeling

July 14, 2021/in Dumpsters, Environment/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Remodeling your home can involve a lot of materials and waste. Fortunately, there are many ways you can ensure you are reducing the impact your remodel has on the environment. Here are some simple ways to do eco-friendly remodeling!

Green Materials: Paint, Roofing, Flooring, and More

The materials you use are one area where you can go a long way in reducing your impact. These days, since so many people are eco-conscious, it’s not difficult to find green solutions. Take paint, for example. Did you know that you can buy VOC-free paint? VOC (volatile organic compounds) are toxic and found in many traditional paints, and can leak into the environment. You can buy VOC-free paint to avoid this issue.

Paint isn’t the only material you use that probably has a green alternative. Everything from roofing and flooring to stains and caulks have green options on the market today. If you are willing to put in the work to find them, you can significantly improve how eco-friendly your remodel will be.

Water-Efficiency

If you’re re-doing a bathroom or kitchen, water is something else you should think about. Some faucets are more efficient than others. There are kinds of faucets that are low-flow, meaning they reduce the rate at which water flows. This is a helpful technique to lower how much water you use when doing everything from washing your hands, taking a shower, or doing the dishes. Consider low-flow faucets and showerheads to reduce how much water your household uses.

Energy-Efficiency for Eco-Friendly Remodeling

There are a couple of ways you can increase the energy efficiency of your home too. For starters, consider how you’re lighting the house. Any way you can utilize natural lighting through windows or glass doors will dramatically lower your electric usage. Additionally, if you do need light bulbs, go for LEDs as they are the most efficient type.

In the kitchen, you’ll want to think about the efficiency of your appliances. Your refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, and dishwasher can all benefit from an efficiency analysis. Plus, your stove itself might need a second look. Today, there are many electric stoves that are extremely efficient, and better for the environment than gas stoves.
Look for Used Furniture

If you are looking to replace or add in some furniture, consider buying used or refurbished to cut down on your impact. There are a number of refurbished furniture stores and non-profits that can offer a great selection. You can even peruse a local yard sale and stumble across a hidden gem that you could reuse for your home. Avoiding a new piece of furniture will let you lower your carbon footprint even more.

Moon Dumpsters makes sure that waste disposal is as environmentally-friendly as possible, with efficient trucks and green disposal practices. To learn more about Moon’s full-service dumpster rentals and get the dumpsters you need, visit our website or call us at 502-772-2821 today!

20 Cubic Yards Dumpster, Dumpsters for small jobs, Best Dumpsters to Rent

Dumpster Rentals with Moon Dumpsters

May 13, 2021/in Dumpsters/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Renting a dumpster is a great way to handle personal, commercial, and other types of projects. There are a lot of sizes and types of dumpsters that you can select from in the process. Here’s an overview of the dumpster rentals we offer and recommend for different projects.

Residential Dumpster Rentals

Moon Dumpsters offers a variety of dumpsters for rent that can take care of any size residential job. Our residential dumpsters are ideal for kitchen and bathroom demolitions, remodeling projects, and more. These dumpsters start as small as 6 cubic yards and go all the way up to 20 cubic yards.

A 6 yard dumpster is a great option for smaller remodeling projects like a small kitchen demolition, a basement overhaul, or redoing a garage. Many of our customers also choose this size for a lawn or yard cleanup. It offers enough space for those smaller projects at a great price.

A 9 yard dumpster offers a bit more space then the 6 yarder. As such, it’s a perfect fit for a normal sized kitchen remodeling job, or even a small kitchen plus bathroom remodel. It is also great for a deck demolition up to dimensions of 10’x18’. This dumpster will serve more medium-sized basement or garage renovations well too.

12 and 16 yard dumpsters offer extra space that you may need for some of those larger remodeling or demolition projects around the house. A large kitchen, basement, or garage that you are working on would benefit from this size. Our customers who are working on multiple smaller or average-sized projects tend to select this size too, given the extra space it provides. In particular, the 16 yard dumpster is a good option for multi-project needs given the large amount of debris and items it can hold.

Our 20 yard dumpster is the largest residential dumpster we offer. It has the capacity to handle all of the projects our smaller dumpsters can, at a larger scale. It’s also a good fit for a significant home addition project, a large fencing job, or a multi-deck demolition. This is the dumpster to rent if you know you’ll have a lot of material to content with.

30 and 40 Yard Dumpsters

Moon’s 30 and 40 yard dumpsters are an excellent choice for commercial jobs that need space for waste at a large scale. Our customers typically include contractors, construction sites, large building demolitions, and even commercial recycling jobs. The massive space these dumpsters offer make them very useful for large scale professional jobs.

We offer details about our dumpster rentals on our website including pricing, sizes, and FAQs. We have a customized quote form you can fill out, after which you will receive pricing and more information about our rentals.

February 18, 2021/in Dumpsters/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Dumpsters provide an excellent way for you to clear waste as you tackle a project. Depending on how and where you’re using one, you may need a dumpster permit. It can be a bit confusing, so today on the blog we’ll walk you through dumpster permits!

General Rules

In most cases, you will only need a dumpster permit if you will be placing the dumpster on public property. This includes public streets and sidewalks. This may be the case for you if there’s limited room in your situation. If, however, you have the space to put a dumpster on your driveway or any other private property, you won’t have to worry! There’s no need to get a permit in that case.

Dumpster Permit Process

If you do need to place a dumpster on public property, there are a few things you need to consider. In many cases, you can put a dumpster on a public road or sidewalk- you’ll just need a permit to do so. However, there may be places where you can’t so you should always check with your locality first. This includes specific neighborhoods- if you have a neighborhood association, they may have rules about if/how dumpsters are permitted on streets.

If there is a permit process, here’s how it normally works. Many localities have ‘right-of-way’ permits that give you the ability to place a dumpster on a public street. You must apply for and receive this permit before you can place your dumpster.

You need to know a few things to fill out this permit most of the time. First, how long will you need your dumpster on public space? You will have to give a specific date range on the paperwork. Second, where exactly will the dumpster be? You will also need to give the exact address and location of the dumpster. Third, who are you renting your dumpster from? You’ll be asked to provide contact information for the rental company on the permit.

Other Things to Know

Here are some other insider tips. Always contact both your local public works department and any relevant neighborhood association. This is the way you will be able to learn about any specific rules and processes (for our Louisville readers, check out Metro Public Works’ web page). Additionally, permit processes can take time, so you should try to submit your permit application at least a week in advance of when you need to use your dumpster. One last thing- you can work with your dumpster rental company to help things go smoothly!

Is dumpster diving illegal in Louisville, KY?

What is Dumpster Diving?

October 5, 2020/in Dumpsters/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Dumpster diving involves salvaging goods from dumpsters, often those from businesses. The legality of dumpster diving and people’s opinions on it are complex. Let’s examine some of the key points about dumpster diving.

Legality of Dumpster Diving

The legality of dumpster diving varies country to country. Dumpster diving is actually legal at the federal level in the United States. It is also legal at the state level in all 50 states. It’s the county and city/town levels in which it can be illegal in some or all scenarios. Additionally, where dumpsters are located can affect the legality of dumpster diving. If a dumpster is on private property or if it’s locked, you would likely be breaking laws to dumpster dive. For example, walking onto someone’s private property to dumpster dive without permission would be illegal.

Perspectives from Business Owners

Businesses often have dumpsters that people may want to salvage in. However, every business owner has a unique perspective on this activity. Some may support recycling or reusing discarded products, while others may discourage it. Some may also worry about liability if someone were to get hurt while diving on their property. Others are more concerned about the mess people can leave from dumpster diving. On the other hand, there are some businesses where owners are willing to discuss the option and give permission.

Perspectives from Dumpster Divers

People who dumpster dive may do so for various reasons and have different outlooks on the practice. For some people, it is simply a means of survival if they do not have access to food or other necessary goods. For others, dumpster diving can be informed by a belief in recycling and reusing consumer goods to reduce environmental impacts.

Many people may donate items or food they find to people in need. Some people dumpster even dive to turn a profit, selling items they find. In addition, some people just enjoy it as a hobby.

Benefits and Downsides

Dumpster diving can be positive in many cases. Reducing waste and reusing items is certainly positive for the environment. It can also lead to a redistribution of goods and food to people who need them. If done legally and with permission, issues with business owners or the legal system are avoidable as well.

However, there are also a few potential downsides. From a diver’s perspective, it can be downright dangerous. Broken glass, needles, and other dangers can lurk in dumpsters. They can cause cuts, punctures, and other injuries that may be prone to infection or disease. There can even be biohazardous material present. Plus, some businesses may go out of their way to destroy food by adding bleach, glass, or chemicals to it before disposal. If ingested, this can be deadly. Expired food can be an issue sometimes too. Additionally, if divers are not courteous or law-abiding, they can cause trouble for business owners and communities.
