When you’re seeking a dumpster rental, it’s helpful to know what type you’re looking for. Depending on your needs and setting, you may require a rear-load, front-load, roll-off, or even a stationary model. By choosing precisely, you’ll ensure you have the room you need. Here’s a guide to different types of dumpsters. 

Roll-Off Containers

These dumpster rentals tend to be much larger (up to 40 cubic yards), and have an open top. They are most useful for large house cleanouts, such as emptying the garage, attic, and extra guest room. These containers have small wheels, which allow the company to station them on the driveway, front lawn, or road. 

Homeowners can toss furniture, such as small end tables, couches, and mattresses, inside these containers. Additionally, they’ll comfortably fit yard waste, concrete, and bricks. 

Front- & Rear-Load

These smaller dumpsters—which range up to 8 cubic yards—have slanted openings outfitted with a lid. Due to their smaller capacity, they are perfect for handling daily household waste. Their small size is an advantage because they don’t take up too much space on the property.

The difference between front-load and rear-load dumpsters relates to how they’re loaded on the truck that deposits and collects them. Generally, it’s a little easier to deposit waste in front-load dumpsters but they have less volume. These containers are usually kept at home for convenient weekly or bi-weekly collections. 

Stationary 

Finally, there are stationary long-term dumpsters that are most useful during home renovations and additions. These tend to be a size in between roll-offs and front- and rear-loads.

These containers are helpful to have when you’re adding a deck, an extra room to a house, or renovating the roof. You can place this container in your driveway, as it provides a convenient way to toss out extra debris without having to visit a dumpsite. Additionally, you can keep this container on your property for as long as you need to, and the company can dump it for you and return it to your home so you can keep filling it with debris.
