Enjoy your Labor Day weekend and the unofficial start to the fall season.
Welcome to the Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer 2026. However, Tri-state area residents shouldn’t be too concerned about cold weather just yet. In fact, many are looking for a break in the warmer temperatures to extend that sweater season a bit. After all, no one wants to eat apple 
pie and drink a pumpkin latte wearing a t-shirt.
The BlueBox Rental staff members hope it is the beginning to a great fall season with lots of fun plans. They know this time of year can be hectic, however they know it’s also a great time to complete a project or two around the house. The cooler temperatures are perfect for a large home improvement project before the holiday guests start arriving in a few months.
The BlueBox dumpster rental team members are ready to help by delivering the perfect-size roll-off for any mess. Just make sure to schedule the dumpster before starting the project or clean out.

September is National Preparedness Month
National Preparedness Month highlights the need to be ready for extreme weather or other natural calamities. This is very important when it comes to having emergency supplies and communication systems in place.
The BlueBox staff feel this is a good time to impart wise advice to homeowners tackling a projet this fall. That advice is to have a place for the mess before you make the mess. Too often the tear out begins, the mess piles up, the project gets done and then the mess has to be cleaned up. If you start by ordering a BlueBox Rental dumpster, the tear out and disposal of the old materials is one seamless step. Then, when the project is done, it’s completely done.
Labor Day’s history and trivia
Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate workers. In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it a local holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, 30 states officially celebrated Labor Day.
The holiday honors the American labor movement and the contributions hard working individuals have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of 
this country.
This year’s Labor Day holiday is on Monday, September 7th in the United States. Canada’s Labour Day is also celebrated on the first Monday of September. More than 80 countries celebrate International Workers’ Day on May 1, which is the ancient European holiday of May Day. Several other countries have chosen their own dates to celebrate workers.
