How Much Does a Roll Off Dumpster Rental Cost?
There are 5 factors that calculate the total price of a dumpster rental. Although this might seem overwhelming, we will break each factor down below, so you are as comfortable as possible when renting your roll-off container.
Dumpster Size:
Roll-off containers come in many sizes. Small junk removal jobs could utilize a
10-yard dumpster, while a large home remodel could require a
40-yard dumpster. This factor can be determined by how much debris needs to be removed.
Type of Debris:
This is the biggest factor when renting a roll-off dumpster. There are 4 categories of debris: a.
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW): This type of waste consists of product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint, and batteries.
A. Construction and Debris (C&D): This is the most common use for a roll-off dumpster rental. This type of debris is generated during the renovation, construction, and demolition of buildings, roads, and bridges.
B. Concrete/Dirt: Both concrete and dirt are very dense materials. As a result, a small amount will have a high weight.
C.
Tree Debris/Yard Waste: This type of debris weight can vary tremendously. Filling a
10-yard dumpster with bushes will weigh much less than filling the same-sized container with tree trunks.
Weight Capacity: All landfills charge for disposal per ton of debris or waste. It is particularly important to rent the correct weight capacity for your project. Many companies will quote you a 1-ton weight capacity for any size dumpster you request. Although this might seem like a great deal, you could be charged hundreds of dollars in overage fees afterward.
Rental Period: This is the timeframe in which your dumpster rental is at your delivery location. Rental periods can vary from 3-to 7 days. Our typical rental period is 10-14 days, as we understand most of our customers need more time to complete loading their junk or complete their renovation.
Location: Much like housing, dumpster rentals also vary based on this variable. Landfill fees, fuel costs, taxes, and regulations are a few of the reasons why prices vary per location. A dumpster rental in
Nashville will have a different dumpster rental cost compared to
Woodstock Georgia.
It is important to take time to understand all these factors when renting a dumpster for your project. Doing so will result in a better experience while allowing you to complete your project within budget.
