If you have a project that will generate significant waste, renting a roll-off dumpster may be a good solution. Though these dumpsters are commonly used for commercial projects, they can also be beneficial for home improvement tasks. To select the right dumpster for your needs in Chattanooga, consider the following factors.
1. Finding the Right Size
When renting a dumpster, choosing the appropriate size is crucial in determining your price. redbox+ Dumpsters of Chattanooga has a range of sizes, the 20-, 30-, and 40-yard sizes are the most commonly rented. Front-loaders that are typically used by businesses such as apartments, hotels, and restaurants usually come in smaller sizes, generally under 20 yards.
A 20-yard dumpster is capable of accommodating approximately 110-130 trash bags, equivalent to six truckloads of rubbish. It is an ideal size for small construction projects, roofing, landscaping projects, or flooring removal.
A 30-yard dumpster is capable of holding approximately the amount of debris that nine trucks would be able to carry. This size dumpster is ideal for extensive house cleanouts, significant remodeling projects, or large-scale landscaping endeavors.
A 40-yard dumpster is capable of holding roughly 12 truckloads of debris and is best suited for extensive house cleanouts, major remodeling projects, and roofing jobs.
2. Extra Fees
To figure out how much it costs to rent a dumpster, you need to think about things like the size of the dumpster, how long you will rent it for, what kind of waste is being dumped, and where it is located. The price may be either fixed or variable. Fixed prices include all costs while variable prices may change depending on extra fees such as removal and landfill tonnage.
When figuring out how much it will cost to rent a dumpster, remember to not fill it too full. Some companies may charge more if you do that. You might also need to get a permit from your city or home association if you want the dumpster on a public street or sidewalk or your driveway. This will add some extra cost.
3. Choose the Right Dumpster Rental Company
Make sure to inquire about the pricing and fees, dumpster sizes and availability, overfilling policies, and permit requirements of the dumpster rental company you are considering. Additionally, ask about their pickup and delivery schedules and customer service policies.
