Got a big project that’s likely to produce a ton of waste? Look no further than renting a roll-off dumpster. Perfect for any size home improvement or commercial job, you’ll want to make sure the local rental is right for your needs here are some helpful tips on what to look out for when making your selection.
What Size Do You Need
Choosing the ideal dumpster size for your project can make all the difference. Whether it’s a two-yard mini or an enormous 40-yarder, there is a perfect fit out there. The most commonly rented sizes are 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-yards, smaller ones like those below ten feet are mostly used by commercial establishments such as hotels and apartments.
A 10-yard dumpster can hold the equivalent of around 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 hold up to about six truckloads of debris, or around 110-130 trash bags. This size is good for roofing, small construction, landscaping, or flooring removal.
A 30-yard dumpster can fit about nine truckloads of debris and is suitable for complete house cleanouts, major remodeling jobs, or large landscaping projects.
A 40-yard dumpster, which can hold about 12 truckloads of debris, is suitable for large house cleanouts, huge remodeling projects, and roofing jobs.
What You’ll Pay
Knowing the price of a dumpster rental involves far more than just taking into account its size. The type of debris, the weight of waste, applicable dumping fees, and location all play important roles in establishing both fixed and variable pricing models. Fix rates come with set prices including all related expenses while variables can shift depending on added charges such as removal costs or tonnage at landfills to name two factors.
To get the most out of your dumpster rental, it’s important to stay aware of a few key factors. When filling up the unit, be mindful not to overfill as you may face extra fees from companies for overflows and overloads. You’ll also need an approved permit if you plan on placing the dumpster in public areas like sidewalks or streets.
Choosing the Right Dumpster Rental Company
When choosing a dumpster rental company, be sure to ask about their pricing and fees, the size and availability of their dumpsters, their policies on overfilling, and their permit requirements. You should also ask about their pickup and delivery schedules and their customer service policies.
