Some rental providers offer unlimited weight with each rental, however, you are not allowed to overload the dumpster beyond a certain point.
For example, there may be a “fill line” painted on the inside of the container you must keep the debris level below.
Other rental providers charge you almost exclusively by weight rather than charging you a base rate + including a weight allowance.
This is an affordable choice if your debris is lightweight, such as lumber or household trash.
This may not always be cost-effective for heavy debris, such as concrete or roofing shingles.
