If you have waste that needs to be removed from your property, you may be unsure whether to set up dumpster rentals or if a regular garbage pickup will do the trick. It’s helpful to understand some key differences between the two choices to ensure you’re choosing the right one for your needs. Here is some insight into these waste removal options.

Trash Removal Services

Homeowners who want their daily waste removed should sign up for regular trash pickup. These services will occur once a week or every other week, depending on which option you choose. Most companies that offer these options also provide recycling pickup at the same time. It’s essential to understand what items the company will accept—many won’t take large items like home furniture, building materials, and landscaping debris. However, you may be able to arrange for a special pickup for this additional waste.

Dumpster Rentals 

If you’re working on a home improvement project or cleaning out a garage, it’s best to schedule a dumpster rental. Due to their size, they’re the perfect receptacle for renovation garbage such as roofing material and insulation, old walls, and lumber. People who are downsizing may also want to set up a dumpster rental so they can place furniture, mattresses, and other large items inside.

These containers come in many sizes, including 10-, 20-, and 30-yard options so you can pick the one you need. Make sure to fill the container only as much as is allowed, as many companies won’t take the container if there is trash overflowing. Have these helpful tubs on-site for the entirety of the project or however long you need them. Just call a few days before you want the company to retrieve the dumpster rental so they can schedule a time to arrive.
