4 Tips to Consider When Renting a Dumpster

When you are doing landscaping or working on a large DIY project, you may end up with a lot of waste materials that may not fit in your regular garbage bins. It is impressive to hire a professional dumpster rental company to avoid unnecessary costs and pitfalls. Starr Dumpsters offer an affordable dumpster that is durable enough for most tasks. We are proud to offer outstanding service and competitive pricing. This article will discuss the main things that you should consider before renting a dumper.

Preparation for the Dumpster’s Placement

The first thing you need to do is to determine where you are going to set the dumpster. Before you rent a dumpster, ensure that you correctly measure the area you will place it so that it can fit with no problem. We recommend it to have an area of a minimum of approximately 20 feet for the rental bin.

Determine the dumpster size

It is important to select a dumpster size that will assist you in completing the project. Normally, roll dumpsters come in different sizes, which include 10, 20, 30, and 40-yard capacities. For you to be on the safe side if you do not know the exact size you need, then select the large one that you think will meet your needs. But remember, if you order one that is too large, then you may pay more than you need. For a small project like housecleaning, we recommend choosing a small dumpster.

Be aware of prohibited items

Dumpsters Company has certain items that they do not allow to be thrown away into the containers. There are rules and regulations about what you can though on it and what you cannot. Things like toxic chemicals, asbestos, tires, oils, and Car batteries may not be thrown into these containers. Some dumpster companies prohibit mixing construction waste with concrete. That’s why it is best to read what you are allowed to throw out in the dumpster so that you are not fined.

The Cost of Renting a Dumpster

This is another important factor to consider before you rent a dumpster and can also help you determine the company to choose. Some companies appear to charge low prices but have some additional surcharges and other fees, which will increase the price. The cost of a dumpster may depend on some factors, including the size of the dumpster, the general cost of delivery, applicable local taxes, and the disposal of the debris. The Rental Period also determines the cost of the Dumpster. If you opt to rent for up to one month, it will cost you more than renting for one week or one day.

If you are looking for a dumpster company that will ensure that all your waste disposal needs are met, Starr Dumpsters are here to help. We offer a wide variety of rentable dumpsters for commercial and residential areas, including roll-off dumpsters, rear load dumpsters, or load containers all in different sizes.
