Dumpster Costs = Dumpster Rental Prices

Roll off dumpster prices vary greatly from state to state and city to city. The main reasons for the variability is the difference in the costs associated with disposing of the waste in the local landfill and the taxes that are levied by some local municipalities.

Landfills charge dumpster services by the ton to dump their roll off containers. The cost per ton to dump in one city may be 3 to 4 times what it costs in a different city. If you live in an area with high landfill fees, your dumpster service prices will be higher.

The size of the dumpster also affects price. The larger the dumpster you rent, the higher the price. Larger, heavier roll off dumpsters cost more to haul and dump than smaller dumpsters, and that is reflected in the price.

How are Dumpster Prices Quoted?

Many roll off container services charge a flat fee to have the dumpster for a specified period of time... ie $400 for 7 days. If you're a homeowner and you need the dumpster for more than their standard rental period, extra charges may apply. Some dumpster services also add a delivery charge or fuel surcharge to their dumpster rental rates. Be sure to clarify over the phone if there are any additional charges for your dumpster rental.

Almost all dumpster services also have a maximum tonnage requirement for each dumpster size. Every load is weighed at the landfill or transfer station. If your dumpster weighs more than a maximum allowable tonnage, then extra charges will likely apply.

For example, say a dumpster service charges $400 for a 20 yard roll off container. Their maximum tonnage without extra charges may be 4 tons. For every ton over 4 tons, the customer owes another $40. In this example, if your roll off dumpster load weighed in at 3 or 4 tons, your total dumpster rental cost would be $400. If your roll off dumpster load weighed in at 6 tons, your total dumpster cost would be $480 ( 2 tons over max X $40 per ton = an extra $80 charge). The bottom line, be sure to clarify up front how much weight is included in the price and the cost per ton over the maximum.
