Post-Thanksgiving Cleanup: Disposing of Large Items Before Christmas

The period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is the perfect time to declutter your home. Before new gifts arrive, clear out the old to make room and start the new year fresh.

Why Now is the Perfect Time

Post-Thanksgiving is ideal for decluttering because:

• You've just seen what you have (and don't use) during holiday prep
• New items will arrive with Christmas gifts
• Donation centers need items before the holidays
• You'll have a cleaner home for holiday guests

Large Items That Need Special Disposal

Furniture

Old couches, mattresses, and furniture can't go in regular trash. Patriot Disposal offers bulk item pickup—just call to schedule.

Electronics

TVs, computers, and old gaming systems require e-waste disposal. Many contain hazardous materials that shouldn't go to landfills.

Appliances

Replacing that old refrigerator or washer? We can help coordinate pickup of large appliances.

Renting a Dumpster for Major Cleanouts

If you're doing a serious declutter, a dumpster rental might be your best option:

• 10-yard: Perfect for garage cleanouts
• 20-yard: Ideal for whole-house decluttering
• 30-yard: Great if you're clearing out multiple rooms

Donation Options in Phoenix
