How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size

Moving all the debris yourself when you embark on a renovation or a major cleanup of your home is time-consuming and stressful. You’ll definitely have a massive pile of debris and trash scattered around your property for days. And remember, the grubby, sharp and bulky waste materials could damage your vehicle while transporting them to the dump.

Therefore, you need to hire a dumpster rental service and probably, Starr Dumpsters is the right company that has all it takes to give you satisfactory services.

However, the question on the mind of most homeowners planning a renovation or home improvement project is ‘how to choose the right dumpster size’, and we have provided the tips in this article

Available size options and types of debris

You can get rental dumpsters in sizes from 5 to 40 cubic yards, and at Starr Dumpsters, we have 12, 15, 20 and 30 dumpsters. Choosing the right size for your dumpster will help you save money because you might pay for unused space if the dumpster is too big for your project. Assuming you hire a dumpster that is too small for your project, you’ll spend more to get another one.

So, for a proper understanding of the dumpster, find below a mini-analysis of how to determine the right size that will fit your need:

• A 10 – 12-yard dumpster can hold approximately three truckloads of debris or 10 cubic yards of materials. It is good for homeowners embarking on a basement, garage, and general household cleanups. It can also be used for small concrete removals and interior renovations.
• 15 – 20 dumpsters are equivalent to six truckloads, and the right choice for big landscaping jobs, floor removals, roofing jobs, concrete removals, and bathroom remodels.
• The 30-yard dumpster is the largest we can provide at Starr Dumpsters. It is the perfect solution for homeowners and business managers embarking on small demolitions, new home constructions, large pool removals, and concrete removals. It is also equivalent to nine truckloads.

Although some companies choose the type of debris or trash they can handle, we can deal with different types ranging from perishable or degradable materials like left-over foodstuff from massive events like weddings, get together or political campaign to yard waste removal, construction and demolition trash, roof tear-offs and industrial or office junks.

So, no matter the debris or trash you want to remove, give Starr Dumpsters a call.

Other dumpster considerations

Weight

Weight is another important consideration when it comes to hiring a dumpster. Nonprofessionals only consider the volume of the debris while the weight is as important as the volume. For every dumpster size, there is a maximum weight it can carry, and it is not compulsory that the container must be filled up if you are loading bricks or concrete materials. Therefore you need to go for higher size if you want the dumpster to hold heavier debris.

Duration of service

Do you want a one-off, drop and pick up service or an ongoing trash collection service?

Most commercial customers prefer continuous dumpster service because it comes with discounts and other advantages. Nevertheless, you will get any service you want by calling Starr Dumpsters because we have various plans that can fit your need.
