Most Common Items Thrown Away After The Holidays

Back to Blog




Welcome to the holiday special on the most common items tossed into dumpsters! 

In the past, we’ve explored the most commonly discarded items, like wood, yard debris, and furniture. This time, let’s dive into what gets tossed during the most special time of the year! 

Planning to clear out things you won’t need next year? Keep reading—this post is for you.

Simplify Your Holiday Decorations Disposal

Setting up holiday decorations is one of the most delightful things we enjoy doing during this time of year. Walking down the street in December is spectacular. 

But when it’s time to take everything down and store it away, we often run into various inconveniences.

Old or broken items that have accompanied us throughout the years might, this time, say 'enough.' Dealing with that kind of loss can be difficult, but it's a necessary step to move forward.

We not only have to deal with saying goodbye, but also with organizing this type of waste once very loved. 

It can be a possibility that you’ll need to throw away your Christmas tree along with other large items, such as outdoor decorations, or very small things like little ornaments that are now too old. 

Where can you dispose of such a range of sizes? At Moreira's Service, we have the solution: renting a roll-off dumpster. 

This is a great advantage because we offer different dumpster sizes that you can check out, and depending on the amount of disposal, you can choose the one you think is most suitable.

It’s completely valid to mix all kinds of items. Disposing of holiday lights while getting rid of boxes, wrapping paper, old toys that no longer work—everything is a possibility.

Just be mindful of the weight limits for each specific dumpster to save time and money. Also, note that the batteries in those fun decorations cannot be placed in our dumpsters due to safety concerns and our commitment to the environment.

Tackling Excess Packaging and Gift Wrap Waste After This Season

If you weren’t naughty this year and Santa didn’t leave coal under the tree, you’re probably surrounded by plenty of gifts to exchange at home.

One of the most special moments of spending the holidays with our loved ones is when the gifts are opened. The joy on their faces is delightful as they discover what they’ve been hoping for under the tree, feeling truly loved and understood.

But this brings us to an inevitable situation: torn wrapping paper that will no longer be used, and boxes upon boxes that kept our now new tech devices or toys safe.

Maybe this part of your potential holiday waste isn't as nostalgic as saying goodbye to things that have made you happy over the years. But the amount of packaging can certainly be exhausting and bulky.
