Renting a Dumpster – The Best Choice for Waste Removal

No matter what your job type, renting a dumpster is a great way to handle the waste you’re going to create. Here are a few reasons why it’s the best choice for you.

Using a Dumpster Rental Company Instead of a Junk Removal Service

One thing that makes a dumpster rental company superior to a junk removal service is flexibility. You’ll be able to fill the dumpster with your own debris and materials. However, it’s important to note that there may be restrictions on the size, weight, and type of materials that can be disposed of in a dumpster. Common construction waste materials that are suitable for dumpster rentals include concrete, construction waste, storm and yard debris, large amounts of furniture, and multiple appliances. One advantage of using a dumpster rental service is that you typically know the cost upfront.

The team at redbox+ Dumpsters of the Suncoast offers a convenient two-in-one product, allowing you to rent a dumpster along with a portable toilet for your job site. If you fill up the dumpster before you’re finished with your job, we can service it and get you a fresh dumpster within the same day. 

Cost Factors

The final cost of renting your dumpster will depend on key factors such as location, size of the dumpster, rental period, type of material, weight of the material, and any applicable fees or permits. In general though, if you only have a few items like some larger pieces of furniture, it will probably be cheaper to call in a junk removal.

If you have several truckloads of debris or an attic/garage full of junk to dump, you should consider renting a dumpster. While it will cost a few hundred dollars, it will still be cheaper than loading up an SUV or pick-up truck with your debris and driving it back and forth between your home or project site and the landfill. You have to pay for gas and dump fees every time! Plus, you can’t get back that lost time.

Different Dumpster Sizes

Dumpsters come in various sizes. Getting the right size will depend on your project. Just as an example, our dumpsters range in size between 15-yard and 30-yard. Here’s which size we would recommend for the project you need to do:

  • 15-Yard: Small projects with bulkier debris, single-room remodels, attic cleanout, or basement cleanout
  • 20-Yard: Whole-home cleanups, roofing projects, large-scale landscaping projects
  • 30-Yard: Home remodels, demolition jobs, estate cleanouts

One way to cut down the cost of a home cleanout would be to just donate or sell your unwated items. You’d be shocked at what people are willing to pay for you old stuff. You’ll want to at least attempt this before you rent a dumpster so you don’t order too big a dumpster for your needs.
