Tips for Renting Trash Dumpsters

The convenience of having a trash dumpster on your site when embarking on a demolition or remodeling project can help your project run successfully. This is because waste management can be a torn in the flesh for companies and individuals who are not particularly experienced in hiring trash dumpsters.

However, to help you optimize the experience, and conclude your project successfully, we have developed this article with tips on how to successfully rent trash dumpsters.

In case you’re still overwhelmed after reading this article, do not hesitate to contact professionals at Starr Dumpsters. We have all sizes of dumpsters that will fit your need, and our staff is ready to walk you through the process from planning to delivery and collection.

Know the right type of waste to dispose

Knowing the kind of waste and its content is the first step to successfully renting a trash dumpster. If you are a construction company, into demolition or home remodeling, you should know that gravel and other materials shouldn’t be missed together in the same dumpster.

The waste or the materials you will throw into the dumpster is subject to the environmental and waste management laws and regulations of each county and State. Therefore, you can get in contact with Starr Dumpsters to get detailed information about the allowable waste in your locality.

Assuming you have prohibited wastes, do not worry, we will also help you dispose of it ecologically. 

Estimate the duration of the dumpster rental

Planning for the period of the lease is a very important factor because when you get it wrong, it may lead to additional expense due to a time extension. The final amount of waste is gotten at the end of each project, so you might be caught off guard if the waste loading is not completed at your estimated time.

So, to determine the rental period required for dumpsters, you need to have a detailed plan with your construction engineer, or the project manager. This is because allowing a dumpster full of trash on your driveway may attract some environmental sanctions and fees. You can also call us with the exact information of your project, and we will help you determine the rental period.

Determine the ideal size of dumpster for your needs

Don’t waste money needlessly by paying for a dumpster you aren’t going to use because of inadequate planning or the understanding of the right size that will fit your need. At Starr Dumpsters, we offer various sizes of dumpsters ranging from 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30-yard dumpsters. However, if you aren’t sure how much capacity you need, we will help you to do the right estimation.

Based on your circumstance, we will also determine if you need a roll off, top loading or rear loading dumpsters. Call and we will help you select the right size and style of the dumpster that will be perfect for your project. 

Consider an ideal placement and accessibility of the dumpster

The placement of the dumpster is another factor to be considered. As a rule of thumb, the dumpster should be placed on the level ground to avoid rolling-off; it should not disrupt traffic routes, and there shouldn’t be overhanging items like power lines and tree branches.

The maximum convenience and accessibility of the dumpster to the users are equally critical and should be considered during the planning process.

Consider calling Starr Dumpsters, for a professional waste audit of your project site, and you will get the right dumpster and pricing that will suit your need and budget.
