Dumpster Services

Starting a DIY home project or getting underway for a three-month construction project: both of these scenarios are going to require a dumpster of some kind to make the job easy and efficient. Clean up is straightforward with a dumpster – there are dumpster services that offer pick up and disposal for a low fee if you own your own dumpster. With most rentals, you’ll get a free first pick up as well. Because dumpsters offer a one-stop shop for all of your waste disposal needs throughout any sized project they are widely sought and manufacturers are popping up across the States.

Renting a Dumpster

If you’re a homeowner or even a small contractor, renting a dumpster is a great, economical way to stay on top of your projects and jobs. Dumpster rental comes at varying prices depending on the length of time you need the dumpster, what size dumpster you need and also sometimes there’ll be a fee for pick up. Be sure to shop around for deals on dumpster rental before committing. Generally, expect a decrease in cost per cubic yard as you look into renting larger dumpsters. Any indoor or outdoor DIY project for a homeowner has a dumpster size that’ll fit the waste yielded. Dumpsters come in sized from 1 cubic yard so however much space you need, factor in another yard or two for safe measure and make an informed decision!

Purchasing a Dumpster

Contractors and homeowners who are very handy and always working on the house could make great use of a personal dumpster. Purchasing a dumpster is an expensive startup but it can be profitable quickly. For instance, a truck bed or van can hold about 2 cubic yards of waste. By getting a 10+ cubic yard dumpster, you literally save five or more trips to the local landfill in a gas guzzling machine! Buying dumpsters of very large size will require a flat-bed large enough to transport it for optimum economy. There are also disposal services that will pick up your dumpster from a worksite, dump it and then take it to the destination of your choice for a nominal fee. Another use of a dumpster while not using it for projects is rental – classifieds ad boards in your area would be a great start to rent out a dumpster that’s been sitting without use. This way you’re getting something out of your investment even while not using it yourself.

Which is Better

It’s hard to say whether purchasing or renting a dumpster is better as the conditions are circumstantial. Personal projects on residential land are usually spaced between seasons or years: rental of a dumpster is ideal in this case. If you work on your house throughout the year whether rain or snow, investing in a dumpster may be a wise choice. Contractors obviously gain an advantage by using a dumpster as they can collect several projects worth of waste before needing to have the receptacle dumped out at the local landfill.
