Roll-off dumpster rentals conveniently get rid of your waste. If you anticipate having a lot of debris you’ll need to get rid of, then it’s best to learn more about this option. See some of the most common questions that people ask about their rentals to know what to expect.

Understanding Roll-Off Dumpster Rentals

What is a roll-off dumpster?

A roll-off dumpster is rectangular in shape, does not have a lid, and comes in a variety of sizes (which are measured in yards). It is transported to your property by a large truck, which rolls the dumpster off the back end of the truck. You can keep it for however long you want to fill the dumpster, then they will return and pick it up for disposal.

Who would benefit from renting one?

There are many reasons a homeowner would schedule a rental. One common reason is if you’re remodeling your home, demolishing a structure, or clearing your property of landscaping. You can put all your construction debris or old appliances into the dumpster.

Many others rent one before they move because they need to clear out a lot of clutter and don’t want to take a lot of trips to the dump.

What items are accepted?

Dumpsters are versatile because you can put most of your waste in them. This includes construction materials such as brick, wood, stone, drywall, and tile. You can also put in furniture such as tables and wardrobes. Most household junk can go into it, such as clothing, rugs, and some old appliances.

What items are prohibited?

Some items require safe disposal, so they cannot go to the landfill in the dumpster. This includes hazardous materials and liquids that would leach into the ground, such as paint, paint cans, batteries, oil, fuel, ink, household cleaners, and other similar items.

Tires trap methane gas emissions in landfills, which can damage the landfill liners that protect the surrounding environments. Hot water heaters and old refrigerators contain substances that can harm the environment.

What size should I get?

If in doubt, you should always get a larger size than you think you need. The small 10-yard dumpster is ideal for clutter cleanup for your basement or garage, a small bathroom remodeling job, or removing 1,500 square feet of shingles.

A 20-yard container is better for medium-sized projects such as a large-scale clutter cleanup, a kitchen remodel, a deck removal, or a flooring replacement. The 30-yard container is best for larger remodeling projects or demolitions.
