Roll Off Dumpster Rental in Meriden, Connecticut

Tips For Successful Dumpster Rentals in Meriden, CT

Get the Right Size Dumpster

Think about what size dumpster you will need based on the amount of trash or construction debris you need removed. Smaller dumpsters cost less, but you may be better off with too much dumpster than too little. If you underestimate and have more debris than your roll off dumpster can hold, you may need the dumpster service to pick up your first container when its full and deliver you a new one... which ends up costing you double.

We've provided the dumpster sizes above in both cubic yards and in feet (length X width X height). If you're not sure what size you need, just call one or more Meriden dumpster rental companies and tell them about your trash removal project. Most local dumpster services are very helpful (if you find one that isn't, call a different company!).

Get a Good Price

Dumpster rental is not cheap (even so, renting a temporary dumpster is still usually the best solution for large trash removal projects). The local trash hauler has a lot of costs that need to be factored into the price. Its expensive for a dumpster service to deliver a dumpster, pick it up, and dispose of the debris at a landfill or recycling center. Landfill fees and taxes can be very high depending on your local state or city government. The costs for fuel, insurance, wages, truck maintenance, equipment maintenance, and a small profit must also be covered by the rental.

The main factors that will determine your dumpster rental price are:

• Dumpster size - Larger dumpsters typically cost more.
• Type of debris - Heavier debris costs more to dispose of, so it may cost more (most landfills charge dumpster services by the ton). If you're trash or construction waste is recyclable, that may help reduce the price.
• Landfill fees paid by the dumpster service - These vary widely by city and state. Heavily populated areas of the east and west coasts typically have very high landfill fees.
• Delivery location - Some dumpster companies may charge a flat rate regardless of your location, but many charge a "tiered rate" based on how far you are from the landfill or waste transfer station. Greater distances means higher fuel and wages cost and that may be reflected in the price.
• Dumpster rental service selected - Dumpster prices are usually very competitive and most local companies have roughly similar rates. If you like to shop, you may able to save $10 to $75 by checking prices.
