Dumpster Costs
Average nationwide cost to rent a roll-off dumpster
Dumpster pricing varies based on location. For example, a 10 yard dumpster in New York City may run $600 for a seven-day rental, while the same size dumpster in Topeka, KS could run half that amount. Various factors, especially location and the rental company, play a role in dumpster service costs.

We all love a killer deal, especially when it comes to having to fork over several hundred dollars to rent a dumpster for a home or business project. However, going with the cheapest dumpster rental is not always the best—or even the most cost-efficient—option.
How is it possible that—in some cases—spending $300 to rent a 20 yard dumpster is a more cost-efficient option than renting a 10 yard dumpster for $250? That simple math doesn’t seem logical, but this scenario can, in fact, happen. The key is looking beyond the booking cost of the dumpster.
Dumpster rental rates are not written in stone. You can sometimes get a lower-than-advertised price on a single-day dumpster rental if you do a little negotiation upfront. Being that dumpsters cost several hundred dollars to rent, any bit of savings is welcomed by most customers.
