Choosing the Right Dumpster Rental for You
Selecting the right dumpster involves more than just eyeballing your pile of debris. First, consider the types of materials you’ll be disposing of. Our standard 10‑yard units are rated for general construction and household waste, such as wood, shrubs, tree branches, roofing shingles, and non‑hazardous rubbish. If you anticipate heavy rocks, concrete or asphalt, you may be better served by one of our specialized roll‑off solutions.
Next, factor in your project timeline and space constraints. Our rental periods are flexible, typically ranging from 3 to 14 days by default, with options to extend if your project runs long. The 10‑yard dumpster is 17.5’ long, 8’ wide, and 4’ high, making it ideal for tight driveways, small parking lots, or alley access.
We recommend measuring your placement area beforehand to ensure smooth delivery and pickup. Our customer support team can also help verify clearances and recommend the best practices for sitting the container.
Finally, think about weight and overage fees. While our 10‑yard dumpsters include a generous weight allowance (up to 1 ton of standard debris), exceeding that limit can incur per‑ton charges. If you expect heavier loads or want extra peace of mind, our upfront flat‑rate pricing or upgrading to a heavier‑duty roll‑off is worth discussing. In most residential scenarios, however, the standard 10‑yard option covers you comfortably.
