Also called roll-off containers, they are the most convenient way to get rid of construction debris and junk you don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n This dumpster cost estimate and comparison uncovers all the details \u2013 dumpster rental cost by size, restrictions on weight and what goes in the dumpster, cost factors such as how long you use it and associated fees.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve gathered costs estimates from established sites and invited other readers (and you) to share the dumpster rental price they paid for their project.<\/p>\n Renting a roll-off container is much more convenient than hauling the material to the landfill in a truck or trailer in multiple loads, even if you might save a few bucks doing it.<\/p>\n Dumpsters come in cubic yards that are commonly 10, 20, 30 and 40, but other sizes are offered by some waste disposal companies. If you\u2019re wondering how big they are, a rough estimate is that a pickup truck bed holds about 3 yards. So a 15-yard dumpster holds about 5 pickup truck loads of material.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a size chart:<\/p>\n The dumpster can be filled only until level with the top of the side walls, since it must be tarped and made safe for transport.<\/p>\n It is a heavy-duty 3 cubic yard bag that can handle 3,300 pounds, an innovation of Waste Management.\u00a0Other waste disposal companies are beginning to offer bags too.<\/p>\n To use the Waste Management system, buy a bag at Home Depot or other retailer or online from Amazon or Waste Management. Then call Waste Management and schedule a pickup. It\u2019s ideal for small cleanup projects.<\/p>\n Bagsters are not available in all areas, so you\u2019ll need to check their website by typing in your zip code to see if service is available locally. If it is, you\u2019ll also get an instant quote for bag pickup.<\/p>\n If Waste Management doesn\u2019t service your area, check with those companies that do. One of them might have a similar bag program.<\/p>\n Items allowed in bagsters are restricted to \u201chousehold junk, construction debris and dirt\/concrete\/rocks.\u201d However, if you fill it with heavy materials like concrete, rocks or bricks, the amount is limited to 1 cubic yard rather than the 3 cubic yard capacity.<\/p>\n Here are common sizes and the projects they are used for:<\/p>\n 10 yard dumpster:<\/strong> Garage\/attic\/basement cleanout, bathroom remodeling, de-cluttering, roofing tear-offs on homes to 1,500 square feet.<\/p>\n 20 yard dumpster:<\/strong> Kitchen remodel, larger cleanout projects, roofing tear-offs on homes to 2,000 square feet.<\/p>\n 30 yard dumpster:<\/strong> Entire home remodeling \u2013 homes to 1,500 square feet, roofing tear-offs on homes larger than 2,000 square feet. Clean-out of multiple homes.<\/p>\n 40 yard dumpster:<\/strong> Entire home remodeling \u2013 homes to 2,500 square feet, neighborhood cleanup projects.<\/p>\n Too big is much<\/em> better than too small. The incremental cost of renting a larger dumpster is small compared with having to rent a second dumpster or having the first one emptied and returned. This will be clear in the list of prices below.<\/p>\n There are several important factors in how much a dumpster costs to rent.<\/p>\n These dumpster cost factors vary by the company. For example, not all have extra costs for heavy materials.<\/p>\n Acceptable items include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Prohibited items or those that incur a surcharge include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Adhesives in large quantities, since they cause materials to stick to the inside of the container that must be \u201cdug out\u201d and lead to extra fees<\/p>\n Most companies allow tires<\/strong>, but a per-tire surcharge of $2-$3 is typical. A better choice for tires is to ask if your local recycling center takes them. Most have a no-fee limit of about 10 tires. Typically, tires can be dropped off on 2 to 4 scheduled days per year.<\/p>\n We researched costs from multiple waste disposal companies across the country. Actual quotes are used to create the cost list below.<\/p>\n Most estimating sites show pricing that is too low. Perhaps their research isn\u2019t up to date.<\/p>\n These are base fees that take dumpster size and your location into account. The price ranges are based on the cost factors listed.<\/p>\n As noted, most companies allow you to have the dumpster for 3-5 business days for their flat rate. Cost increases slightly for each additional day.<\/p>\n Plan your project carefully, so that all work requiring a dumpster can be accomplished in the time allowed in the base charge.<\/p>\n We ask this question at the end of every cost estimate page, but this topic is different than plumbing, electrical and most home improvement projects.<\/p>\n Should you rent the dumpster if a pro is doing the work? Probably not. Let them do it. They likely get a volume discount, so the cost they pass along to you for waste disposal might be less than if you rent the dumpster.<\/p>\n A more debatable question is this:<\/strong> On DIY projects, should you rent a trailer and haul the waste to the landfill rather than renting a dumpster? No again<\/strong>.<\/p>\n First, when considering disposal fees, gas and the wear and tear on your vehicle, the cost savings are probably small. And it\u2019s a big hassle and time drain compared with the convenience of pitching stuff into a dumpster set in your driveway.<\/p>\n What do you think? For DIY projects, give a thumbs up for renting a dumpster. Give a thumbs down for hauling waste to the landfill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $265 \u2013 $595 \/ Week The average cost to rent a dumpster is around $265 for a 10-yard roll-off container, the most popular size.
