Milford Dumpster Rental - Rent Dumpsters in Milford, MI

Short Guide to Easy Dumpster Rentals in Milford, Michigan

What are the steps to the dumpster rental process?

1. Figure out how much trash or construction debris you have and then determine what size roll off dumpster you would like to rent. If you're not sure, call a local dumpster service and ask their opinion. Smaller roll off containers cost less to rent. But, if you miscalculate and have more waste than your trash dumpster can hold, you'll need your full container switched out for a second dumpster... which ends up costing you twice as much. For safety reasons, trash is not allowed to be piled above the rim of the dumpster... so be conservative in your estimate. You're definitely better off paying another $25 or $50 for the next size up rather than having to rent another dumpster.
2. Call one or more of the Milford dumpster rental services on this page. Ask these trash haulers about their dumpster rental prices, standard rental period, amount of tonnage included in the price (dumpsters that weigh out very heavy at the landfill or transfer station may have an extra fee), materials to avoid placing inside the container, and any other rental policies.
3. Schedule your dumpster delivery. It helps to have your dumpster delivered the day before you actually plan to start your waste removal project. With most dumpster companies, you can usually pay over the phone with a credit card or upon delivery with cash or check.
4. When your clean-up project is done, call the trash hauling service back and request pick-up of the dumpster. Done!

Why are the called "roll off" dumpsters? What's the difference between a roll off dumpster and a commercial dumpster?

Temporary dumpsters for rent by homeowners and contractors are referred to as "roll off" dumpsters (also known as roll off containers) because they "roll off" the back of the truck onto your driveway, street, or parking lot. These trash containers typically hold anywhere from 10 yard to 40 cubic yards of debris and may be referred to as "open top" (no lids).

Roll off dumpsters 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. Roll off dumpster rental is also the ideal solution for construction debris removal. Remodeling projects, reroofing, and new construction projects often require a temporary 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.
