Dumpster Rental Information

Help with Dumpster Rentals.  When will I need one?

Rather than just being used for your daily trash, rental dumpsters are set in place for special projects or specific uses.

Dumpster rentals work in multiple ways. They are used as major trash cans that are rentable and hold vast amounts of waste and junk. Some are temporary, and others are more permanent, such as the ones seen behind restaurants or in parking garages. These more permanent ones are commercial dumpsters, and are used as large trash cans that are emptied on a regular basis. They look like large boxes and have lids on them.

The other form of dumpster is the roll-off. The roll-off is delivered directly to your house or construction site and sits in your driveway while you fill it up. The customer will fill it with many different types of debris, depending on the projects they are using it for. From tree stumps and tree limbs, to roof tiles and windows—they can almost hold anything.

When you are finished with your dumpster, or your rental time is up, the hauler will simply come and remove the dumpster and all of its contents from your property.

While it is a simple process- there are some tips that can make it even easier for you, the consumer.

Don’t know when you need a dumpster? Any sort of construction, re-flooring, reroofing, garage cleanout or even yard cleanup all will require a dumpster. Order your dumpster to be delivered before you begin your project so you can fill it up as you start your project. Nothing is worse than having a completed project, but junk lying around waiting to be cleaned up. After all, having a professional come and haul away your entire mess is the most efficient way to clean up after yourself.

 Let’s talk about yard projects. Tree stumps, limbs and shrubs are not allowed to be disposed of in public and city trash containers. The most effective way of removing this debris from your yard is a dumpster rental, as having them removed in a truck is more costly.

Lastly, if you are moving or cleaning out an estate, a roll-off is your best option for the de-cluttering process. If you are moving and have a lot of old furniture, toys or junk that you are not bringing with you—simply dump them into the dumpster and have them hauled away so you can move into your new home with a fresh and clean start.

Overall, dumpster rentals are not just for daily trash—by understanding what exactly they can be used for you can begin (or continue) to use these roll-offs to not only save you money, but also time and effort.

So now that I am interested, can I have some advice on these dumpsters?

* After you order your dumpster rental, the first thing you are going to do is make sure that you have an open area on your driveway for the container to be placed. If you want to put it on the street, you are probably going to need a permit, and remember, the further the roll-off is away from the project, the harder it is going to be to transport your debris into it. It is most preferable for the container to be as close to the site as possible.
* You can use your parking space in your driveway as a location to keep your dumpster depending on the size. This is a very convenient place to store your temporary dumpster, but you are going to need to remember that you will then need to find another place to park your car—perhaps the street.
* Thirdly, you are going to need to prepare for these tall containers. The companies recommend that you leave a few feet above the container for you to have room to throw the debris into it. But if you feel that you will not be strong or tall enough to throw your waste into it, you can prepare by getting some boxes or steps to use to elevate yourself to make it easier to put your junk into the container.
* You are also going to have to prep the placement area for the dumpster rental in advance. So it doesn’t scratch your pavement or driveway, all haulers recommend that you lay a piece of plywood down under the container so it doesn’t hurt your driveway when it is being placed by the roll-off truck.

Remember, if you have any questions that are not answered on Dumpsters.net, call the local hauler of your choice. They will not only be happy to answer your questions, but they can give you the detailed instructions of exactly what they recommend, as they differ slightly from hauler to hauler.
