A "roll off" (rolls off the back of the truck onto your driveway or street) is an ideal solution for large cleanup projects.

Dumpster rental is also an excellent choice for any construction debris removal. Remodeling projects, reroofing, and new construction projects often require a temporary waste dumpster on site.

 

Tell Me More About Dumpster Sizes and Dumpster Prices

The size of a dumpster is typically referred to by the amount of cubic yards of debris held by the trash container. So, a "10 yard dumpster" will hold 10 cubic yards of debris. 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.

 

Dumpster prices depend on the service provider. Each dumpster service 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 (ie. up to 3 tons).

 

Extra charges may apply if you need the waste dumpster for longer than a providers 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 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).

 

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.
