Whether you're planning a major construction project or comprehensive house cleaning, a dumpster rental will provide a spacious receptacle for the trash. To get the most out of the service, it’s important to plan properly and know how the unit should be used. To help your project go smoothly, below are some dumpster rental tips to keep in mind.

Do:

Reserve early.

Schedule your dumpster rental well in advance to ensure the waste management provider will have the receptacle you need for the job. Most people move between May and September, making the summer and early fall popular for dumpster rentals for downsizing and moving. During this time, schedule a month in advance. Scrambling at the last minute to secure a dumpster can make an already-complex project that much more stressful.

Toss only accepted items.

Most waste management companies will accept a wide variety of trash, including household goods, furniture, yard waste, and construction debris. But not everything can be disposed of this way.

Hazardous materials should never be put in a dumpster. This includes paint, oil, asbestos, pesticides, gas, propane, cleaning solvents, and medical waste. You can typically throw appliances in dumpsters, but be sure they are drained of freon and other contaminants beforehand.

Don't:

Forget to schedule accordingly.

If you need a dumpster for a long-term project, let the waste management company know when you reserve the unit. You want to be certain that you have the dumpster for the necessary period and that the provider isn't expecting it back on a tight deadline. If the project has no set deadline, let them know that as well.

Overload the dumpster.

An overflowing dumpster is difficult to remove, as waste can fall out during transit and the load can exceed weight limits. If your container has a lid, check that it closes securely once it’s full. If it doesn’t, you may need to rent a larger receptacle or schedule multiple pickups with your provider.
