If you have plans to complete a large project over the next few months and are worried about the amount of waste it will produce, you might want to consider renting a roll-off dumpster for the duration of your project. Oftentimes, roll-off dumpsters are used for commercial projects, but they can be helpful for home improvement projects. If you decide you should rent a dumpster for your project, here is what you should look for when choosing which dumpster to rent in the Sylvania area.
What Size You Need
When it comes down to renting a dumpster, it’s important that you choose the right size dumpster according to your needs. Dumpsters can come in several sizes ranging from two yards to 40 yards. The most common sizes for rentals are 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-yard dumpsters. Typically, smaller dumpster sizes, such as those under 10 yards, are front-loaders used by businesses like apartments, hotels, and restaurants.
Did you know that a 10-yard dumpster can hold the equivalent of around three pickup loads of debris or about 10 cubic yards of material? If you are looking for a dumpster size that is suitable for small renovations or cleanouts, this is perfect for you!
A 20-yard dumpster can hold up to about six truckloads of debris, or around 110 – 130 trash bags. This is a great size if you looking for something to put the debris from roofing, small constructions, landscaping projects, or flooring removal in.
About nine truckloads of debris can fit in a 30-yard dumpster, which makes it suitable for complete house cleanouts, major remodeling jobs, or large landscaping projects.
If you are looking for something to fit large house cleanouts, huge remodeling projects, or even roofing jobs, then the 40-yard dumpster is a great choice. It can hold about 12 truckloads of debris.
What You’ll Pay
Several factors come into play when you are trying to how much you will end up paying for your dumpster rental. Some of these factors include the size of the dumpster, the length of the rental, the type of debris in the dumpster, the weight of the waste, dumping fees, and the location of the rental. The price can also vary depending on whether the company charges a fixed or variable rate. A fixed rate is a set price that will include all fees and costs, compared to the variable cost, which can fluctuate based on added fees, such as rental, removal, landfill tonnage, and more.
There are a few other factors that you should keep in mind when estimating your cost. For one, it’s important to make sure you don’t overfill the dumpster, as companies may charge overflow or overloading fees. You may also be required to get a permit from your city or homeowner’s association if you plan to put the dumpster on a public street, sidewalk, or in your driveway, which can add a small cost.
Choosing the Right Dumpster Rental Company
When you are deciding on 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.
