How exactly does a dumpster rental work?

Before you contact your local dumpster rental company, there are a few things that you need to know. Here are some tips to help on the journey as you set out to choose the right dumpster for your needs:

1. Dumpster rental service costs

Generally, the cost of renting a dumpster ranges anywhere from $200 to $1000. This wide variation may be attributed to the size of the dumpsters and the estimated weight of the dumpster once it’s filled with rubbish.

Most companies have different size units and averagely assume a week’s worth of rental time. Find a company that gives you a good deal depending on your needs.

2. Hidden charges/requirements

Different dumpster companies have regulations in place about what you can and what you cannot dispose of into their dumpsters. To be on the safe side, you need to as in advance about disposing of particular items such as kitchen appliances and old mattresses so as not to be caught by surprise.

You also need to find out whether or not you need a permit to have a dumpster on your street. Placing the dumpster on your own property is almost always a safe bet, but it pays to check with your local city’s municipal office.

3. Disposing of hazardous materials

Throwing items such as computer monitors, phone batteries, paint, oil, and other chemicals into dumpsters could have you get fined serious amounts. To dispose of such items properly, you need to check with your municipality about the available options for disposing of hazardous waste.

4. The best time to rent a dumpster

The best time to rent a dumpster is right before you get started on a large project either when you need to move houses, have to remove trees and shrubs from your yard, or when you need to rip out your home’s walls, flooring, or windows.

5. How to prepare before renting

Before the dumpster is brought to your property, there are several things that you need to do in preparation. For starters, you must make sure that you clear the area so that you have enough space where the dumpster will go.
