— Werner Compact Extension Ladders

What’s to love:

A ladder that extends 16 to 32 feet, depending on which one you buy, but is easier to move and easier to store.

What does it do:

Instead of extending in two sections, the ladders are made with three shorter sections so that when it’s collapsed for storage, you have a more compact ladder to store away. The DD1200-3 series comes in aluminum or fiberglass. Price depends on the size and material. The 16-foot aluminum ladder sells for $150 and collapses to an easy to-handle 6 feet.

Bagster

What’s to love:

You can buy the Bagster locally, fill it up and have the company haul it off for you.

What does it do:

Renovating or even just organizing and cleaning out the garage can create more trash than your city garbage container might hold, but you might not have enough construction debris to rent a Dumpster.

The Bagster sells for $29.95 and holds three cubic yards of trash. After you’ve filled it up, call the company and arrange for pickup, which costs $80 to $160 depending on where you live. More information and pickup fees can be found at thebagster.com.
