How To Rent a Dumpster - Choosing the Right Size

‍

The first step in renting a dumpster is determining the right size for your project. Dumpsters come in a wide range of sizes, from small 10-yard dumpsters to large 40-yard dumpsters. The size you choose will depend on the amount of waste you need to dispose of, as well as the space you have available for the dumpster. Things to consider when choosing your dumpsters size:
‍

• The amount of waste to be disposed of: Consider the amount of debris that will be generated by your project, as this will determine the size of the dumpster you need.
  ‍
• City permit requirements: Check with your local government to see if there are any specific permit requirements for dumpster rentals in your area.
  ‍
• Available space: Consider the space where you will be placing the dumpster. Make sure you have enough room for the dumpster to be delivered and placed on your property.
  ‍
• Street access: Consider whether the delivery truck will have easy access to your property, and if there are any obstacles such as low hanging powerlines or tight turns that might make it difficult to deliver the dumpster.
  ‍
• Type of waste: Some dumpsters are designed for specific types of debris, such as hazardous materials or construction debris. Make sure you choose the right type of dumpster for your waste disposal needs.

‍
For small projects, such as cleaning out a garage or doing a small renovation, a 10-yarddumpster may be sufficient. For larger projects, such as a full home renovation or construction project, a 30 or 40-yard dumpster may be more appropriate.

Choosing the Right Type of Dumpster
‍

Once you narrowed down on what size dumpster you will need, you'll then have to choose the right type of dumpster for your project. Consider the type of debris and how you want to load your dumpster. Some are built for heavier items, while other can only are designed for your typical household junk. Here are some common dumpsters you should consider for your project:

• Rear-load dumpsters: These dumpsters are designed to be loaded from the rear, making them easy to access for loading and unloading. They're often used for commercial and industrial projects.
  ‍
• Roll-off dumpsters: A roll off dumpster is typically used for construction and home renovation projects. They have wheels and can be easily transported to and from the site.

• Front-load dumpsters: These dumpsters are designed to be loaded from the front, making them easy to access for loading and unloading. They're often used for commercial and industrial projects.

‍

Choosing the right container size for your project is essential. The wrong type of container can lead to delays and unnecessary costs, while the right type container will ensure that everything runs smoothly. Make sure to plan ahead, measure twice and order once to ensure you get a container that meets your needs and budget!

Understanding the Costs and Terms of Your Dumpster Rental

‍

When you rent a dumpster, you'll be required to sign a rental agreement. This agreement will outline the costs and terms of your rental, including the rental period, the cost of the dumpster, and any additional fees. In general, dumpster rentals are charged on a daily or weekly basis, and the rental period can range from a few days to several weeks.

‍

Most companies will charge upfront pricing, but be sure to ask about any potential fees. Your dumpster rental costs can add up with the addition of extra fees.

In addition to your rental fee, you might be subject to a pick up or delivery fee depending on your area. Be sure to read your rental agreement carefully and ask any questions about unwanted items, disposal fees and going over the agreed weight limit.

Scheduling Your Dumpster Delivery

‍

Once you've selected the right size and type of dumpster for your project and have understood the costs and terms of your rental agreement, it's time to schedule your dumpster delivery. The delivery and pickup schedule will depend on the availability of the dumpster rental company, as well as the length of your rental period.

Consult with your dumpster rental service provider about any city or basic permits in case you need to put it on a public street. Once you've chosen your delivery day and delivery location, ask your company about any delivery tips and coordinate your preferred time for delivery. Be sure to schedule your delivery and pickup in advance to ensure that you have the dumpster when you need it.

Properly Loading and Using Your Dumpster

‍

‍

Using a dumpster to discard unwanted waste can be beneficial if you know how to use it properly. Make sure that you're only putting appropriate items in the dumpster, and that you're sorting your waste properly.

This may include separating out recyclable materials, hazardous waste, and unwanted items that cannot be disposed of. Be sure to narrow down your correct dumpster size or you maybe needing an additional dumpster. Here are some tips for making the most of your dumpster:
‍

• Ensure that you load the dumpster evenly, piling heavy material bulky items on the bottom and light items on top. This will prevent the dumpster from toppling over or sustaining unnecessary wear and tear.
  ‍
• When the dumpster is full, DO NOT overload it. Doing so can make it difficult or impossible for workers to safely remove the contents from the container.
  ‍
• Whenever possible, break down large items such as furniture before putting them in the dumpster. Not only will this create more space but it will also help keep sharp edges away from any passersby.
  ‍
• Remember to cover your filled-up dumpsters when they are not in use; doing so will help prevent rainwater from entering and creating a mess
