When you’re clearing out junk from your home, handling a commercial construction job, or tackling a restoration project, you’ll need to remove debris following the work. Renting a roll-off dumpster will help you contain and dispose of items safely and efficiently. If you’re preparing to rent out a unit, here’s a guide that will be helpful for choosing and using it successfully.

How to Use a Roll-Off Dumpster

Consider What Size You Need

Roll-off dumpsters are available in various sizes, typically ranging from 10-yard to 40-yard containers. If you select a dumpster that’s too small, you may run out of space for your trash, but if you choose one that exceeds your needs, you could end up overpaying for something you’re not using.

A 10-yard dumpster may be sufficient for a bathroom renovation, while you might need a 15-foot container if you’re clearing out your garage, basement, or attic. A 20-yard roll-off dumpster is ideal for roofing jobs and landscaping projects, while a 30-yard container will help you clear out an entire business or household. For more extensive home remodeling and construction projects, you may need a 40-yard dumpster rental.

Know What Can & Cannot Be Tossed

These trash removal containers are ideal for hauling most kinds of junk, including trash, wood, siding, yard waste, and construction debris. In general, you can dispose of furniture in a roll-off container, although local regulations may prohibit mattresses and upholstered furniture to prevent bedbug infestations.

Most appliances and electronics can be thrown in a dumpster, but any batteries and hazardous components (such as refrigerant) have to be removed first. Hazardous or flammable materials such as asbestos, oil, paint, and tires should never be placed in a roll-off dumpster. Research local regulations in your county to find out how to properly dispose of all items.
