Roll Off Dumpsters in Pittsfield, MA

How much do roll-off dumpsters cost?

Rental costs for a 10 yard bin in some locations can be as low as $250 for a 7-day rental, while in other parts of the country rates run $450+ for the same size container.

It all depends on where you live, weight of the debris, type of waste, and length of the rental period. Bigger dumpsters – such as 20, 30, and 40 yard boxes – cost more to rent.

An important part of getting the best price on a roll-off dumpster is to check pricing at least two rental providers to make sure you’re getting fair market value. It’s a great bargaining tool as well.

Other potential fees to know about includes:

• Overage charges
• Late fees for keeping the container extra days
• “Special” wastes disposal, such as tires or e-waste
