Tips on Renting A Dumpster in Hollywood, CA

Learn About Dumpster Rental Prices

Each local company may quote dumpster prices slightly differently, so it's important to understand exactly what is included in the quoted price to make sure you're really getting the best deal. Most companies quote one flat rate for delivery, pickup, and disposal, though some add delivery charges in separately. The rental rate is for a standard period of time (ie. up to 7 days) and includes a certain amount of weight (ie. up to 3 tons).

Extra charges may apply if you need the trash dumpster for longer than a providers standard rental period. This is a typically a per day fee (ie $5 or $10 per day), but some providers will negotiate with you up front if you need it for slightly longer than their standard period.

Extra charges may apply if your dumpster is heavier than the included weight. Each dumpster is weighed before it is dumped and the trash hauling service pays the landfill or transfer station based on the weight of the debris. If you're garbage is heavier than the allotted weight included in your rental agreement, then a "per ton overage" fee will likely apply (ie. $30 - $90 per ton over, depending on the landfill fees in your area).

When comparing rental quotes between two companies, it's important to understand how much time and weight is included in the price... and if there are any additional fees (i.e. delivery charges) that may be applied for any reason.

1. Consider what size roll off container you may need based on the amount of rubbish or debris you need removed.

What Are Roll Off Dumpsters Used For?

Roll off dumpsters are large, open top trash dumpsters that "roll off" the back of the delivery truck onto your driveway, parking lot, or street. They are great for large household trash removal projects. Spring cleaning, foreclosures, estate cleanouts, and moving in or moving out of a home are common examples. Dumpster rental is also the ideal solution for construction debris removal. Remodeling projects, reroofing, and new construction projects often require a temporary construction waste dumpster on site.

While roll off dumpsters are typically a temporary rental for a week or two, commercial dumpster rental is used by small businesses for trash pick-up on a regular schedule, often once a week. Commercial dumpsters are smaller (2 cubic yards to 10 cubic yards) and have lids on the top. A commercial dumpster is easy to spot behind most restaurants, gas stations, and retail stores.

Why Are the Sizes Quoted as "10 Yard", "20 Yard", "30 Yard", etc..?

Dumpster sizes are quoted in the amount of cubic yards held by the dumpster. Thus, a "20 yard dumpster" will hold 20 cubic yards of debris. A 3ft X 3ft X3ft "cube" would be 1 cubic yard. The most common roll off dumpster sizes are 10 cubic yards, 20 cubic yards, 30 cubic yards, and 40 cubic yards. For each dumpster rental provider, we provide the dumpster sizes in both cubic yards and in feet (length X width X height) to help you better understand the size of trash container you may need for your particular cleanup project.
