Dumpster Rental Information

We know that it can be very difficult to decide on a dumpster rental company. All customers want a few specific things, such as, affordable pricing, easy scheduling, and local haulers in their area. We want you to know that with every hauler we use, we have the highest trust in their customer service, efficiency, and dependency.

What is a roll-off Dumpster and on what occasion would I need one?

A roll-off dumpster has a few unique aspects to it, differentiating it from a trash dumpster. A roll-off is used primarily in temporary circumstances. For example if you know you only will be cleaning out your basement and garage over the weekend, you will ask for a roll-off.

This particular type of dumpster will be delivered where you need it on a certain day, and picked up when you have it scheduled. It is meant for short term use—mainly at a home, minor construction site, or small business.

You can expect to see this type of dumpster at your friend’s house while she is renovating her kitchen, or perhaps during a reroofing project.

When would I use a trash or commercial dumpster?

On the other hand, you have a trash dumpster. These are more permanent fixtures that are found behind almost every store, restaurant, and business office. These are commercial dumpsters, and unlike a delivery and pick-up of the entire dumpster, the trash from these is just simply removed on a weekly or monthly basis.

The main difference between these two is that one if for temporary use and the other for a more permanent establishment.

If you still have any questions about dumpster rentals, remember, you can always call your local haulers listed above.

In what circumstance would I need a roll-off or commercial dumpster? What should I put in them?

There are a vast variety of ways in which you can use your roll-off dumpster. These are used in home additions, demolitions, re-roofings, and your average yard and garage cleanouts. As stated earlier, they are also used in commercial construction projects.

In a roll-off dumpster you can store:

* Accumulated junk and trash
* Tree branches, limbs, yard supplies etc.
* Wood planks, carrying and shipping crates
* Garage clean-up items, such as pipes, buckets, etc.
* Roofing debris, such as shingles
* Construction use objects such as sheetrock, brick, dirt, sand
* Anything else in your house or project that needs removal

Because they can be used for so many things, there are multiple sizes that you can rent, each with its own purpose!

Now that I understand more, how do I go about renting a dumpster?

Here at Dumpsters.net, we are skilled in helping you pick out what size dumpster will be required for your own individual project. But no need to worry about sizes yet— a sales representative can help you with that.

You will start with calling one of your local dumpster rental services listed above. You can ask them about their pricing and services, and what they specialize in. You can also ask them about their rental policies and the amount of rental time periods you are allowed to use it for (as some of them vary in rental policies). You will be able to schedule a time that works for YOU to have the dumpster delivered. And when you are ready for it to be hauled away, just let them know. The process is made to work around your needs and requirements.

What do these different sizes mean? Which should I choose?

If you are new in this area of business, picking the perfect sized dumpsters may seem daunting. How are you supposed to know what is needed? Luckily, we can easily help you with this task. First of all, there are a few different sizes that you are going to have to consider. These sizes do not just correlate with the amount of junk that can fit inside of them, but different materials sometimes require bigger dumpsters. Measured in cubic yards, the average roll off dumpster will come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard option.

10 Yard Dumpsters

Logically enough, the 10 yard dumpster will hold 10 cubic yards of materials. This size is optimal for household projects, small residential construction and garage and yard cleanout.

* Average Size: 12 x 8 x 4 (may vary)

20 Yard Dumpsters

In correlation to the 10 yard dumpster, the 20 yard dumpster holds 20 cubic yards of waste. While the 10 yard dumpster will work for a small residential construction project or yard cleanup, the 20 yard option is a step above that. This choice is recommended for larger renovations, and larger garage and yard cleanouts.

* Average Size: 22 x 8 x 4.5 (may vary)

30 Yard Dumpster

Following the simple trend, the 30 yard dumpster holds 30 cubic yards of waste. This is the prime dumpster for a large scale home renovation, major construction, or demolition.

* Average Size: 22 x 8 x 6 (may vary)

40 Yard Dumpster

Lastly, the 40 yard dumpster holds 40 cubic yards of waste. This size dumpster would be recommended for commercial projects, brand new construction, or major renovations.

* Average Size: 22 x 8 x 8 (may vary)

While you might still be confused as to what size you may need for your own particular project, call your hauler today and they will be more than happy to assist you in your decision.
