Large projects will create large amounts of waste. There’s no getting around it. But your large project will drag on even longer if you’re not taking care of the waste. You may think loading up your pickup truck will be enough, but more than likely, you’ll only be bogging down your project by constantly needing to fill it up again and drive over to the landfill. Instead, you should consider renting a dumpster. If you’re worried about price, here’s how you can make your dumpster rental more affordable.
Get the Right Size
Getting the right size will be crucial to making your final bill within your budget. Dumpsters come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different scales of projects. The most common sizes for rental are 10-, 15-, 20-, 30-, and 40-yard dumpsters. Smaller dumpsters, such as those under 15 yards, are typically front-loaders used as permanent dumpster rentals by businesses like apartments, hotels, and restaurants.
A 10-yard dumpster will hold the same amount three pickup truck loads of debris, or about 10 cubic yards of material. This size is suitable for small renovations or cleanouts.
A 20-yard dumpster can take on the equivalent of six truckloads of debris, or around 110-130 trash bags. This size is good for roofing, small construction projects, landscaping projects, or flooring removal.
A 30-yard dumpster will contain the same amount as nine truckloads of debris and is suitable for complete house cleanouts, major remodeling jobs, or large landscaping projects.
A 40-yard dumpster, which will be able to hold an astonishing 12 truckloads of debris, is suitable for large house cleanouts, huge remodeling projects, and roofing jobs.
What You’re Going to Pay
There are a few factors that will affect the price to rent a dumpster. These include the size of the dumpster, the length of the rental, the type of debris, the weight of the waste, dumping fees, and the location. The price can also vary by dumpster rental company. Some may offer a fixed rate but it’s important that you ask the company if that fixed rate includes all of the fees and costs. Some of those fees may include things such as rental, removal, landfill tonnage, and more.
You should also consider a few more things that can affect the cost. First, you’ll need to be sure you don’t overfill the dumpster, as companies may charge overflow or overloading fees. It’s also possible that you’ll need to secure and pay for a permit from your city or homeowner’s association if you plan to put the dumpster on a public street or sidewalk or in even your driveway.
