Spring Cleaning: Honey-Do to Honey-Done

From dress to décor, spring is a time of refreshing and renewing. And while you’re transitioning into the new season, you may be reminded of all the things you’ve been meaning to do but never got done last year. Let Penske help you check off your to-do list!


Thrift or throw away: The saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” means more than ever in today’s golden age of thrifting. Someone else might appreciate the porch furniture, pots and planters, or patio umbrellas you're replacing. Check with different charitable organizations in your community for the best donation options. And whether you're dropping your items off at a donation center or hauling them to a local waste management facility, a rental truck makes the job quick and easy.

Clean out your storage unit: If you keep bulky items like your patio furniture, fire pits or beach gear in storage during the winter, use a Penske rental truck to bring your items home. Penske’s preferred storage vendors can also help you locate storage units across the country when it's time to put your spring and summer items away again.

Tackle that honey-do list: Spring cleaning can also turn into new projects: replacing that loose board on the deck, power-washing your patio set, or finally finishing your dream garage hangout spot. When lumber, drywall and painting supplies will not easily fit into your truck or SUV, rent a Penske truck to bring things home.
