The holidays are full of joy, family gatherings, and festive celebrations. But they also bring something less cheerful: clutter. From old decorations and broken lights to piles of packaging, unused furniture, and forgotten items hiding in the attic, it’s easy for junk to build up before the New Year.

That’s why December is the perfect time to declutter your home or business. With a roll-off dumpster rental from Wasteline Solutions, you can tackle the mess head-on and step into January with a clean slate. Serving Fort Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm Beach, South Florida, and Central Florida, our dumpsters make seasonal clean-up simple, safe, and stress-free.

The 12 Days of Decluttering: What to Toss Before the New Year

Here’s a holiday-inspired checklist to guide your decluttering process:

  1. Day 1: Broken Holiday Lights – Stop saving tangled strands that no longer work.

  2. Day 2: Worn-Out Decorations – Toss chipped ornaments and outdated décor you’ll never use again.

  3. Day 3: Packaging & Boxes – Clear out cardboard, wrapping paper, and shipping materials.

  4. Day 4: Old Furniture – Replace damaged chairs, tables, or couches before guests arrive.

  5. Day 5: Appliances Beyond Repair – Free up space by letting go of non-working electronics.

  6. Day 6: Expired Pantry Goods – Declutter your kitchen before holiday hosting.

  7. Day 7: Clothes You Never Wear – Donate what’s wearable, and dispose of the rest responsibly.

  8. Day 8: Garage Junk – Broken tools, unused sports gear, and cluttered storage bins.

  9. Day 9: Yard Waste – Clear fallen branches, leaves, and outdoor décor before winter.

  10. Day 10: Office Paper Piles – Shred and recycle unnecessary documents at your business.

  11. Day 11: Outdated Electronics – Safely toss old TVs, computers, or printers with proper disposal.

  12. Day 12: Random “Someday Items” – If you haven’t used it in years, it’s time to let it go.

With a dumpster on-site, you can load everything in one place — no multiple trash runs, no clutter left behind.
