Roll-off dumpster rentals are efficient and affordable waste removal solutions. Whether you’re planning a renovation project or want to clear out clutter before a move, you can have a container dropped off wherever you need it. When you’re done, the junk hauling company will pick up the dumpster and take care of the waste. Make the most of your rental by knowing what to do and what common mistakes to avoid.

Do:

Know your size needs.

Dumpsters are measured in cubic yards, and you need to ensure you order the right size for your needs. A smaller 10-yard dumpster is best for heavy debris or a small project, like clearing out a garage. A 15-yard dumpster is good for slightly larger jobs such as landscaping projects and small renovations. If you have a large-scale project, you may need a 20-yard model. When in doubt, always opt for the bigger size.

Clear a space for the dumpster.

The truck will need plenty of space to pull up, place the dumpster, and drive away. Make ample room for the dumpster itself and for a large truck to pull in. Move cars, remove fencing panels, and trim back landscaping as necessary.

Choose a flat surface close to your work site. Look for an open area of concrete or hard-packed dirt. Avoid placing the dumpster on a lawn, since the weight of it can kill the grass.

Don’t:

Dispose of prohibited items.

While dumpster rentals are fairly versatile in what you can throw away, there are some prohibited items that cannot be taken to the landfill. Ask the dumpster provider for a list of prohibited items. Often, items like paint, tires, flammable chemicals, batteries, food waste, and fuels cannot be disposed of in the rental.

Wait until the last minute.

Rentals are in high demand, so reserve yours at least a week beforehand. You may want to reserve it even earlier in the summer when many people have construction projects going on. Placing a reservation ensures you have your rental when you need it.
