Understanding the Basics of Dumpster Rental

How Do Dumpster Rental Services Work?

While most rental services will vary, renting a dumpster with redbox+ Dumpsters is fairly straightforward. You can simply contact us, and we’ll get your dumpster rental started! But here are a few more specifics and details:

  • How do I set up a rental? You simply need to contact us at least 24 hours in advance of needing your bin. We can discuss the size and type of rental needed, as well as how long it’s needed. Our team can typically fulfill requests within as little as 24 hours for quick and efficient use.
  • Where will it be dropped off? Our drivers can drop off your bin at your location, even if you’re not there! We can place it in the desired area, whether that’s in a driveway, at the curb, or in another specialized location. When you’re done with it, we’ll handle picking it up as well!
  • What if my bin runs out of space? If your project is ongoing but your bin is full, that’s not a problem with redbox+ Dumpsters. Our drivers can come by to collect your bin, empty it, and return it so you can continue with your work.

What Kind of Rental Dumpster Do I Need?

There are tons of options for dumpster rentals, so which one is best for you? Once again, the easy answer is that you can always contact our team for help. Our professionals are more than happy to discuss your project and walk you through the options that make sense for your situation.

That said, here are a few criteria that will help you determine the right dumpster size:

  • The scale of your project. Smaller projects will typically require smaller dumpsters. But it may help to think of the length of your project and the amount of waste you think it’ll generate. If it helps, try to picture the waste quantities in garbage bags!
  • The size of your space. Equally important is how much available space you have for a dumpster. For residential projects, we have specially sized dumpsters suitable for driveways and curbs. Ultra-compact spaces may benefit from our Mini bins, while larger commercial or industrial spaces may handle a 40-yard container.
  • Any additional needs. If you can, try to identify any additional factors that may play a role in dumpster style or size. Are you loading bulky furniture or other large items into your bin? If you have contractors on-site and are bound by OSHA regulations, you may benefit from our ultra-functional Elite containers, which combine a roll-off dumpster’s capabilities with portable toilets.

What Items Can Be Disposed of in a Dumpster?

When you’re in doubt, please get in touch with redbox+ Dumpsters to learn what items can and can’t go into your dumpster rental. Generally speaking, it’s fine to dispose of these items:

  • Household trash
  • Furniture
  • Construction materials
  • Yard waste
  • Demolition debris

That said, you’ll want to check which materials are locally prohibited from being disposed of in bins. These can include:

  • Paints (and sometimes paint cans)
  • Batteries
  • Tires
  • Fuels like gasoline
  • Asbestos
