Rent a Dumpster

Answer 1

Renting a dumpster for home use is a great way to manage do-it-yourself projects and large spring cleanings. However, like many things in life, we tend to take something like this for granted until we actually have to do it. Then, we realize that there is a lot more to renting a dumpster than we ever imagined. The following points should help you clear some of the hurdles.

The first step is proper recognition of what container size you will need. The rental company can often help with this, but the estimate will only be as accurate as the information you provide. Consider all aspects of the project, and then describe that to the company in detail. In many cases, the default (smallest) size is all that you will need.

If you find that your needs are close to the cut-off between one dumpster and another, go large. The additional cost of one extra dumpster size is not usually substantial, and it will provide some benefit. A dumpster can be a time-waster as it nears full and requires content management.

The next step will be an accurate assessment of how long you will need the dumpster. The reason for this is that the longer you are willing to commit to it, the better the deal that you can get from the rental agency. Most companies give far better rates by the month than they do by the week.

Thirdly, since you will likely be loading this by hand, make sure to request the proper height dumpster and one that includes a loading door or flap. Rental companies will generally deliver this type of dumpster to a private residence automatically, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Some dumpsters are extremely difficult to load by hand.

Finally, ask about waste containers if you will be disposing of materials that you cannot legally place in the dumpster. In addition, it is important to note neighborhood administration regulations. Most homeowners want the dumpster placed on the street rather than their property, but sometimes there is a fine associated with doing so. The rental agency will know about local regulations but not necessarily about neighborhood regulations.
