Waste Dumpster Rental

Waste can be quickly generated regardless of what you are doing. Construction sites, events, outdoor festivals or simply running a business will all create waste that needs to be disposed of. You’ll need a place to put it until it’s ready to be picked up. And it’s certainly inefficient to have to run it over to the local recycling plant or landfill you’ve got something. So the only option is a waste dumpster rental. Dumpster rentals come in a variety of sizes and kinds, so there will be one that is right for you, no matter what kind of waste you have.

Waste is usually categorized into the following:

  • Mixed trash
  • Green waste (plant material)
  • Recyclable materials
  • Construction & demolition products

 

Many dumpster rental companies will ask you a few basic questions when you go to rent a dumpster from them. These questions will include:

  • How long you need it for
  • The kind of waste you’ll be disposing of
  • How much waste you’ll have

Waste Dumpster Rental And The Rental Time

You’ll have a choice with dumpsters – temporary or permanent. Those dumpsters you see behind businesses and shopping centers are permanent. They are paid for monthly in conjunction with the waste pickup service. Temporary ones will range from one day to several months, depending on what you are using it for. If it is a large event or quick renovation project, you won’t need a dumpster for as long as you would for the construction of a home or building.

The longer you need the rental for, the more you will be charged. Many companies will also charge you late fees if you need to extend the time past what you had originally stated. Locally owned companies may be a little more flexible with this because they are trying to build their business and may not have already rented the same unit to someone else.

Waste Dumpster Rental And What Kinds Of Waste Are Acceptable

The type of waste you’ll be dumping into the dumpster will determine what company to go with. Some companies only deal with certain kinds of waste. They may still rent you a dumpster because they want your business, but they’ll charge you extra for going outside of their norm. You may also need multiple kinds of waste dumpsters, depending on the project, event, or location. Many businesses find that they need a recyclable dumpster as well as a mixed waste dumpster. It’s amazing how much less the mixed waste is when all cardboard goes into the recycled dumpster.

Waste Dumpster Rental And What Quantities Of Waste Are Acceptable

The amount of waste you produce is directly proportional with the size of the dumpster that you’ll need. More waste = larger container. If the dumpster is a permanent one, you’ll be able to get a smaller unit because you’ll have regular pick up on it. If it’s a temporary dumpster, then you’ll need to make sure you have a large enough container for all the waste without worry of overflow. Depending upon the company you go with, you’ll have various choices, ranging from 2 yards to 50 yards in size.
