The size of a dumpster is calculated by the number of cubic yards of trash it can hold. For example, a "10 yard dumpster" will hold 10 cubic yards of debris. For a reference on cubic yards, a 3ft X 3ft X3ft "cube" equals 1 cubic yard. The most common roll off dumpster sizes are 10 cubic yards, 20 cubic yards, 30 cubic yards, and 40 cubic yards. The trash container sizes and dimensions are listed in each service providers listing above.

 

Vestavia Hills dumpster rental prices depend on the service provider. Each roll off dumpster rental company may quote prices slightly differently. Prices are typically impacted mostly by dumpster size, location of the delivery address, and dump fees in your area. Most companies quote one flat rate for delivery, pickup, and disposal, though some add delivery charges in separately. The rental rate is often for a standard period of time (ie. up to 7 days) and includes a certain amount of weight (i.e. up to 3 tons).

 

Extra charges may apply if you need the roll off dumpster for longer than a provider's standard rental period. This is a typically a per day fee (ie $5 or $10 per day), but some providers will negotiate with you up front if you need it for slightly longer than their standard period.

 

Extra charges may also apply if your dumpster is heavier than the included weight. Each dumpster is weighed before it is dumped and the dumpster service pays the landfill or transfer station based on the weight of the debris. If you're debris is heavier than the allotted weight included in your rental agreement, then a "per ton overage" fee will likely apply (ie. $30 - $90 per ton over, depending on the landfill fees in your area). Pay particular attention to the amount of weight included in your price if you are disposing of very heavy debris like bricks, cement, roofing shingles, or demolition debris. Most home cleanouts will typically not go over the allotted weight because the debris is lighter.

 

When comparing rental quotes between two companies, it's important to understand how much time and weight is included in the price... and if there are any additional fees that may be applied for any reason.
