When it comes to renting a dumpster for your project, the price is usually one of the first things people want to know. However, finding the right dumpster and budgeting for it can be challenging. In this post, we’ll discuss what goes into pricing and what you can expect in terms of dumpster rental costs.
The Cost of Renting a Dumpster
While we understand that customers often prefer a quick flat quote, residential and commercial dumpster rental prices can vary depending on several factors. It’s not always possible to give a one-size-fits-all price for everyone.
Factors That Affect Dumpster Rental Prices
The first factor that can affect the cost of renting a dumpster is the location. Dumpster rental prices can vary by area and even by specific location within a particular area.
The rental cost of a dumpster will also depend on its size and how long you need it for. The larger the dumpster or the longer you need it, the more you can expect to pay. To save money, make sure to choose the right size and length of rental for your project. If you’re unsure about what you need, consider consulting with a professional from a company like redbox+ Dumpsters to help you decide.
Apart from size, dumpsters also have a weight limit, and going over it can increase your fees. Therefore, it’s crucial to consider the type of debris you’ll be disposing of as some materials may be denser or heavier than others.
It’s important to clarify what waste is allowed and if any items will raise the price before booking a dumpster. Certain types of waste, such as heavy appliances, may require special care or even transportation to a separate facility, which can increase fees.
Permits can also add to the overall cost. Before renting a dumpster, check with both your dumpster company and the local municipality to see if you need a special permit. You may require one, especially if you are blocking a public sidewalk or placing it on the street. It’s also essential to check with your homeowners’ association if you have one, as some may have specific rules or fees for dumpster rentals.
Choosing the Right Size Dumpster
Choosing the right size dumpster is crucial to getting the most value for your money. Opting for a dumpster that is too small will require additional disposal trips and fees while choosing one that is too large will cost more than necessary.
Here are some recommended dumpster sizes for different projects:
10-yard dumpster: Suitable for small cleanouts or remodeling jobs of an apartment or a room, small-scale roofing projects, landscaping, or hauling heavy debris.
15-yard dumpster: Ideal for a small project with bulkier debris, a single-home remodel, or attic and basement cleanouts.
20-yard dumpster: Suitable for whole-home cleanups, roofing projects, and large-scale landscaping projects.
30-yard dumpster: Can accommodate home remodeling debris, demolition debris, or trash from an estate cleanout.
40-yard dumpster: Can manage a large-scale commercial or major home remodels and significant construction debris.
