Let’s face it, projects can cost a lot of money. In this economy, you have to figure out the cost of everything beforehand in order to nail down a budget. That can be tricky with services like dumpster rentals. Here are somethings to consider that might affect the cost to rent a dumpster in the Winston-Salem and Kernersville areas. Finding the right dumpster for your project is often difficult to budget. Find out what you can expect in dumpster rental prices and what goes into pricing.
Why Isn’t there a Flat Fee?
It’s no secret that quick flat quote is often what a customer is actually looking for. The problem is that not everybody is going to use a dumpster the same way. Depending on how they use it, the price will start to vary.
How Much Does it Vary?
For the most part, there won’t be a huge variance. That said, there are still several factors can affect dumpster costs. Location is going to be at the top of that list. Dumpster rental prices will vary depending on the area you live in and how far it is from the company delivering the dumpster. Size of the dumpster and rental period are two other things that can affect the final bill.
Dumpsters range in size, and you projects will range in time, which means the cost will also range and vary. To put it simply, the larger the dumpster and/or longer you need it for, the more you can expect to pay. Be sure you get the right size and sign up for the appropriate amount of time to keep your costs a little lower. If you’re unsure what you need, the team here at redbox+ Dumpsters of the Triad can help you decide.
Are there Other Factors?
In addition to location restrictions, size, and length of rental period, a lot of dumpster compaines also have to enforce a weight limit. If you happen to go over that limit you can expect your fees to increase. Consider what you will be disposing of, as some debris is denser or weighs more than other types. While you’re considering that debris, consider whether or not you can actually put that type of debris in a dumpster.
Believe it or not there are some things you can’t put in a dumpster. Doing so will lead to issues and higher costs. Certain types of waste such as heavy appliances may necessitate special care or even require transportation to a separate facility, which can also lead to an increase in your total dumpster rental fees. The final most common thing that can affect the cost is a permit.
You may think that a permit isn’t necessary for a dumpster, but your local government may disagree. Sadly they’re the ones that get the final say. Be sure to check in with your local municipality to see if you need a special permit before you book your dumpster. You may need one, especially if you are blocking a public sidewalk or placing it on the street. Also, check with your homeowners’ association if you have one. Some HOAs will have special rules or fees for dumpster rentals.
Getting the Right Dumpster Size
Size is typcially the lynch pin of it all. Choosing too small of a dumpster will require additional disposal trips and fees for that service, while too large of a dumpster will cost more up front than you will actually need to spend.
Check out these size recommendations for specific projects as a guide.
- 15-yard dumpster: Good 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 fit home remodeling debris, demolition debris, or trash from an estate cleanout.
- 40-yard dumpster: Can manage large-scale commercial or major home remodels and significant construction debris.
