The Short Guide To Dumpster Rental in Auburn, NY

What Are Roll Off Dumpsters Used For?

Roll off dumpsters are great for large household junk 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 waste dumpster on site.

Why Are They Called "Roll Off" Dumpsters?

The dumpster rolls off the back of the truck and onto your driveway, street, or parking lot. You may hear roll offs referred to as trash dumpsters, construction dumpsters, roll off containers, temporary dumpsters, driveway dumpsters, open top dumpsters, and more.

How Do I Rent a Dumpster?

Consider what size dumpster you may need based on the amount of rubbish or debris you need removed. Then call up one of the preferred local dumpster services above. Ask about their pricing and other rental policies. Schedule a date for delivery of your temporary dumpster to your home or place of business. Prices for a typical rental period often allow for up to 3, 7, or 14 days. When your cleanup project is done, call the dumpster company back and they will pick the trash container up and haul it away to the landfill, transfer station, or recycling center.

Why Are Dumpster 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.

Tell Me More About Dumpster Rental Prices....

Each dumpster service may quote 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 dumpster service pays the landfill or transfer station based on the weight of the debris. If you're debris 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 that may be applied for any reason.
