When planning a cleaning or remodeling project, decide whether a dumpster rental could simplify the process. Plummers Disposal offers various container options for residential and commercial use. We can also help you match your project to the ideal dumpster size, so you avoid overfilling the container. Here are a few questions to ask your dumpster rental company:
What Projects Require a Dumpster?
A dumpster rental company provides dumpsters for a range of projects. Multi-room or whole-house cleanout projects sometimes produce large amounts of trash, so renting a dumpster is often a better option than using personal trash cans. Small bins may fill up quickly and require frequent trips to the dump, while a dumpster lets you dispose of more trash in a single trip.
If you have oversized or bulky items to dispose of, use a dumpster rental to maximize available space. Large dumpsters also accommodate heavy waste, such as building materials from a demolition or renovation project. Some projects may produce waste that your local trash collection service is unable to accept; renting a dumpster provides a convenient disposal option.
Which Sizes Are Available?
Rental dumpster companies provide various sizes to support a range of project needs. Sizes include:
- 10-Yard Box: Use this size for a one-room cleanout or small bathroom remodel.
- 15-Yard Box: This option is suitable for a basement or attic cleanout or demolishing a shed.
- 20-Yard Box: When reshingling or tearing out carpet throughout an entire house, use a 20-yard box.
- 30-Yard Box: Large projects, like new home construction, benefit from the use of a 30-yard box.
- 40-Yard Box: This container is ideal for commercial projects, such as constructing or demolishing buildings.
What Materials Are Allowed?
Many dumpster companies allow a variety of materials to be placed in a container, including items from a deck removal and different types of flooring, like hardwood. Other accepted materials include siding, windows, and cement walls. You can also put concrete tear-outs in dumpsters, but you should fill the container only two-thirds full to avoid exceeding the weight limit.
Some materials are not allowed to be placed in dumpsters, so ask your rental company which items are prohibited. These items may include:
- Liquid waste
- Explosives, like ammunition
- Biological waste
- Yard clippings
- Motor Oil
- Hazardous waste
- Whole vehicle tires
- Propane tanks
- Matresses
Do You Offer Other Equipment?
Some rental companies provide a roll-off flatbed, which makes the loading and unloading process easier for 40-yard boxes. Commercial projects, particularly ones involving multi-story buildings, benefit from using a TR-5000. This is a chute that connects to a building through a window or landing and directs debris directly into the dumpster. It helps create a streamlined removal process during cleanouts or renovations; workers don’t need to make frequent trips up flights of stairs.
Find a Dumpster Rental
Using a dumpster rental can streamline home and commercial projects. If you are completing a remodeling, renovation, or cleaning project, use a rental to keep all of the trash in one place, helping to clear space at the worksite. For parties or special events, rent a small trash cart; this helps you avoid filling up your personal garbage can. Contact Plummers Disposal today to find the right size dumpster for your project.
