Whether you are working on a landscaping, home renovation, or construction project, finding the right dumpster rental size is key to effectively cleaning and removing trash. Plummers Disposal offers rental dumpsters in a range of sizes to suit your needs. Here are a few tips to help you calculate the right dumpster rental size:
Type of Project
Evaluate the type of project you will be working on. If this will be a small yard project or home cleanout, you may be able to use a 10-yard dumpster. Demolition projects, carpet removal, or landscaping projects may require a larger 15- or 20-yard dumpster. For large projects like constructing or demolishing a home or building a commercial office, a 30- or 40-yard dumpster may be more appropriate. When in doubt, overestimate the dumpster size for your selected project. It may be more cost-effective to rent one large dumpster than to resort to renting two smaller ones because you have more waste than you anticipated.
Volume of Waste
Different kinds of projects generate varying amounts of waste. Determine if you are throwing away a few old items during a home cleanout or several large trash bags full of leaves and grass clippings. Commercial construction projects will also generate more waste with scrap metal, wood, cement, and more. Looking at the size of the items you will throw away helps you determine what size dumpster you need. Make sure your dumpster is adequately sized because overloaded dumpsters will receive an additional charge. Keep the waste in the dumpster below the fill level to avoid overflow issues.
Weight Limitations
Certain dumpsters have weight limitations depending on their size. If you are throwing away heavier items like concrete, dirt, or rebar, you may want to select a smaller dumpster rental size to avoid overloading it. Plummers Disposal charges $60 per additional ton for dumpsters that exceed the allowable weight. Talk to one of our professionals in advance for advice on selecting the right weight limits for your dumpster. We offer free estimates to help simplify the selection process for our customers.
Dumpster Placement
The area where you place the dumpster may determine the size you can rent. Although some locations fit our largest dumpsters, others may lack the space for them. If you are placing the dumpster in your yard or driveway, you will need to rent a smaller dumpster. A construction site with lots of available space can accommodate a larger dumpster size. Verify that the area you choose for your dumpster allows you easy access to throw your waste away without blocking a path or driveway.
