If you’re working on a construction project and need a dumpster rental to remove waste, there are a few questions you should ask before scheduling one. Getting the correct information from the start will help avoid delays or extra expenses. Here are a few questions you should ask about the rental. 

What Kind of Dumpster Do You Need?

The rental company should be able to advise you on what kind of dumpster would be best for your project. It’s usually best to call as soon as possible to ensure they have the dumpster you need in stock. One important consideration is the size. Many roll-off dumpsters range in size from 4 to 30 yards, so you need to decide how much waste the construction project you’re working on plans on having.

How Much Will It Cost?

The cost of the rental will usually depend on how big the dumpster is. If you end up underestimating how much waste you will have and overfill the dumpster, the rental company may charge more than the initial quote. If you are removing extremely heavy items, excess weight might lead to extra cost—even if the dumpster isn’t completely filled. It’s also advisable to ask if there will be a haulage fee for picking up the dumpster.

Do You Need a Permit?

Dumpster permit laws differ from city to city, but if you are placing yours on the street, then you will likely need a permit. This applies even if the dumpster is directly in front of your property. The dumpster rental company will arrange the permit as part of the rental process or provide you with the information you need to organize it yourself. Also, bear in mind that some authorities limit the number of permits you can get within a certain time span.
