If you are getting ready to check big projects off this year’s to do list, then you might be wondering how to get rid of all of the waste. Whether it’s for a DIY project or a commercial job, renting a dumpster is a smart option for clean up and waste removal.
Renting a Dumpster vs. Junk Removal
Dumpster rentals are a great solution for waste management during construction or renovation projects, as they are able to offer you more flexibility than junk removal services. You will be able to fill the dumpster with your own debris and materials. It is important to note that dumpsters can come with restrictions on the size, weight, and type of material that can be disposed of. Some common items that are suitable for dumpster rentals include concrete, construction waste, storm and yard debris, large amounts of furniture, and multiple appliances. A big advantage of using a dumpster rental service is that you will typically know the cost upfront.
redbox+ Dumpsters of Toledo even offers a convenient two-in-one product that allows you to rent a dumpster that includes a portable toilet for your job site. And if you fill up your dumpster before the project is complete, you can simply call for a replacement to be delivered.
Factors of Cost
A variety of factors, from location, size of the dumpster, rental period, type of material, weight of the material, and any applicable fees or permits, can affect the cost of the dumpster rental. Generally, junk removal services will usually be cheaper for a few items like large furniture.
Rather than driving your SUV or pickup truck back and forth for multiple trips, you should consider renting a dumpster. While it might cost hundreds of dollars, if you have several truckloads of debris to dump, chances are, it will still be cheaper than doing it yourself between the cost of gas and dump fees. Not to mention the time it would take!
Dumpster Sizes
Did you know that dumpsters can come in a variety of sizes? Roll-off dumpsters are the most common type for remodeling, demolition, and landscaping projects. They can range in size from 10 to 40 cubic yards. Wondering what size you need to rent? Check out the guide below:
– 10-yard: Small-scale roofing, landscaping, single-room cleanups
– 20-yard: Whole-home cleanups, roofing projects, large-scale landscaping projects
– 30-yard: Home remodels, demolition jobs, estate cleanouts
– 40-yard: Large-scale/commercial remodels, major home remodels, construction debris
A good way to cut down on the cost is to dispose of unwanted materials by donating or selling them. You should do this before you rent a dumpster, that way you don’t order a dumpster too big for your needs.
