Find the Perfect Dumpster Size: Your Complete Rental Guide

Dumpsters range in size from 2 yards to 40 yards. Dumpsters in sizes of 10, 20, 30, and 40 yards are the most commonly rented bin sizes. Bins less than 10 yards in size are typically front-loaders used for commercial purposes at hotels, restaurants, and apartments.

The equivalent of three pickup truckloads can be loaded into a 10-yard container. The name suggests that the dumpster can hold about 10 cubic meters of waste. This is a good size for weekend projects such as small renovations and clean-ups.

The 20-yard size is the most popular. The 20-yard dumpster can hold approximately six truckloads or 110 to 130 trash bags. This size is ideal for roofing, small landscaping projects, flooring removal, and small construction projects.

A 30-yard dumpster is the best option for a major home renovation, landscaping or complete cleanout. The dumpsters are large enough to hold about nine truckloads.

The 40-yard dumpster is equivalent to 12 truckloads. These dumpsters are perfect for large home cleanouts, remodeling jobs, and roofing projects.

What You'll Have to Pay

When considering a renovation or construction project, it's essential to factor in the cost of renting a dumpster. Rent a dumpster prices vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the dumpster, the duration of the rental, and the location. Generally, smaller dumpsters meant for residential use tend to have lower prices compared to larger commercial-sized containers. Additionally, the length of the rental period also affects the overall cost, with longer rentals often providing better value for money. Lastly, the location can influence prices due to variations in disposal fees and local regulations. Therefore, it's advisable to research different rental companies and compare their rent a dumpster prices to find the most cost-effective solution that meets your project's requirements.

Dumpster companies may charge a flat rate or a variable rate. Precision Disposal defines a fixed or flat rate as a price that is set up front, regardless of the weight, volume and other factors such as delivery, pickup, taxes, fuel costs, etc. Flat rates are a good way to budget. Variable rates fluctuate based on additional fees, such as rental, disposal, landfill tonnage and administrative, franchise and environmental surcharges and taxes. A variable rate can make it difficult to estimate the final cost.

Keep your dumpster within its filling limit. Overfilling your dumpster can result in overflow fees or overload fees. You should ask what the weight limits are and what will happen if the bin is filled to the top.

Permits are another fee that some people forget to include in their budget. HomeGuide suggests that depending on where you plan to place the bin, you may need a permit. You will need a permit if you plan to place it on a sidewalk or public street. Check with your homeowners' association. Dumpsters on driveways are prohibited in some associations.

Questions for Companies and Questions that they Ask

When you rent a bin, the company will ask you several questions. Answering these questions will allow them to determine the size of bin and how long you require. These questions include:

• What kind of waste can I put in the dumpsters?

• How much debris/trash are you going to throw away?

• What will you do with the dumpster? You can place the bin on the driveway if you have enough space.

• When will the project start and finish?

• When would you like the dumpster to be delivered?

Asking questions is also important when you are looking for an affordable rental dumpster. Consider the following list:

• Do you charge flat rates or variable rates?

• What is the price per ton if I exceed my weight limit?

• Is the price inclusive of everything, from delivery to disposal and back?

• How much per day will I be charged to extend my rental period?
