In recent years, bag dumpsters, like the Bagster from Waste Management, have become more popular.
\r\n\r\nMade out of a tough tarp-like material, bag dumpsters, like the Bagster, can hold up to 3 cubic yards of material, like general remodeling debris, or 1 cubic yard of heavy debris, like concrete.
\r\n\r\nWith dimensions of 8 feet long x 4 feet wide x 2.5 feet high, a Bagster is designed to hold a wide range of junk and debris without puncturing.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBag dumpsters are widely available, have a low upfront cost, and are extremely convenient, but they have limits in what they can hold.
\r\n
It may go without saying, but Waste Management, the Bagster provider, cannot accept anything toxic or hazardous in their Bagster bags.
\r\n\r\nTheir restricted items include, but are not limited to:
\r\n\r\nYard waste may also be prohibited from the Bagster in your area.
\r\n\r\nRestricted materials vary by area in some cases.

\r\n\r\nIf you're looking to use a Bagster, don't buy a bag until you compare costs and convenience with dumpster rental and junk removal services.
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster rental is a much more cost-effective option and is equally available in most areas across the country.
\r\n\r\nInstead of paying $50-$117 per cubic yard on average to dispose of your junk or debris with a Bagster, you could pay roughly half that per cubic yard for a 10 yard roll-off rental.

\r\n
It's common to hyper focus on pricing when hiring any service provider—and dumpster rental services are no different—but professionalism and reliability are just as important as pricing.
\r\n\r\nOne of the best ways to research a company is to read reviews from real customers who have worked with the company and can shine an honest light on the type of service you can expect from them. There are several things to look for when reading dumpster rental reviews that can help you determine who the best company for your job is, and we'll go over them all in this quick guide.
\r\n\r\nThere are many motivations behind someone leaving a fake review, negative or positive, which is why it's important to make sure that the reviews you check out are verified and from real customers. You don't want a company's competition, loving mother, or the company themselves influencing your purchasing decisions, which is why it's best to only consider reviews from customers who have actually rented a dumpster from the company you're considering.
\r\n\r\nThe best way to ensure you're reading verified reviews from real dumpster rental customers is to read the reviews on Hometown. Our team personally verifies every review that is submitted before publishing it, good or bad. Our only motivation behind accepting company reviews is to help inform future customers like you, so you never have to wonder if the gleaming 5-star review or scathing 1-star review is left by the owner's wife or competition; you can trust that our reviews are real.
\r\n\r\nWhen visiting other sites to read reviews about a dumpster rental company, look for an indication that those reviews are real before giving them too much weight in your consideration. For example, do they use go-to marketing language? Do they speak in absolutes and extremes? Are they vague about their experience? These are all potential signs of a fake review that you should make note of.
\r\n\r\nWhile this doesn't happen on Hometown due to our review verification process, it's not uncommon for reviews to be left for a product, service, or company that either don't match the product/service description or were out of the company's control. There are plenty of instances where a quick look at a company's 1- to 2-star reviews reveals they are actually completely irrelevant to the service they're reviewing.
\r\n\r\nFor example, you may see a \"negative\" review for a company in which the entire review actually compliments the company and their employees on all their hard work, but the author of the review only gave them 2 stars because of circumstances that are irrelevant to the service or were out of the company's control.
\r\n\r\nHere are some examples:
\r\n\r\n\"ABC Dumpster Rental's service was great, but there was construction on 10th street so they got stuck in traffic and arrived 20 minutes later than expected. That's the only reason I'm leaving 2 stars, but the actual company and service was great!\"
\r\n\r\n\"Dumpster Kings was friendly, professional, and was available immediately to deliver our rental. They had to reschedule our pick-up due to severe weather, but other than that, the service was excellent.\"
\r\n\r\nAs you can see, though these may technically not be 4- or 5-star reviews, the actual customer service and workmanship that these companies provided was 5 stars, so be sure you take all aspects of the reviews you read into consideration.
\r\n\r\nWhen you have a project schedule to keep up with, you'll need a dumpster rental company that is responsive and on-time. A significant delay in dumpster deliveries or pick-ups can cause your schedule to derail, costing you time and money in the long-run. So, when reading dumpster rental reviews, look for mention of how fast or efficient their service was. The timeliness of the actual service is important as well as the timeliness of their customer service and how quickly they respond to your quote request or any questions you may have.
\r\n\r\nAre they available to chat when they're contacted, or at least able to get back to you in a reasonably punctual manner? Are emails and questions answered in a timely fashion so that you aren't left waiting on a response for days? Any mention of dumpster rental services that are slow-moving and seemingly unmotivated is an immediate red flag.
\r\n\r\nMost dumpster rental companies train their employees to be as time-efficient as possible so they can quickly move on to the next job and make as much money as possible each day. Being fast and efficient not only benefits you as a customer, but it should be the business strategy of a successful dumpster rental company, too.
\r\n\r\nRead more:
\r\n\r\nYou should expect a certain level of professionalism from any company you do business with, regardless of the type of service they offer, and it's not unusual for those leaving reviews to touch on this. If you notice more than one person mentioning a lack of professionalism from the company in question, they could end up being a headache to deal with for you as well.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRespectful, punctual, and helpful communication should be the standard for any company you spend your hard earned money on.
\r\n
Reviews that mention how professional, friendly, and eager to help their customers a company is should be given higher standing as you consider all your local options.
\r\n\r\nThe dumpster rental industry is large and it can be overwhelming and take up a significant amount of time to find companies in your area that are competitively priced, have a good reputation among their customers, have availability when you need it, and are locally-owned and operated.
\r\n
\r\nFinding these quality companies for your disposal needs has been made simple with Hometown. Our easy-to-use search engine allows you to enter your zip code and find reputable services in your area that are licensed, insured, and locally-owned!

It's an easy process once you understand a few basics.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Before reaching out to dumpster rental providers, you should have a good understanding of the type and quantity of debris you will be getting rid of. The more information you know about your project, the more accurate a recommendation the dumpster provider(s) will be able to give you.
\r\n\r\nDumpsters are measured in cubic yards, with one cubic yard being 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft, or roughly the size of a standard kitchen stove. In addition to size limitations, dumpsters also have weight restrictions, so the weight of your debris is just as important as its volume.
\r\n\r\nKnowing the details of your disposal project and adequately communicating them to the rental company will ensure the dumpster rental process goes as smoothly as possible and you don't overpay.
\r\nWhen talking about dumpsters, it's important to acknowledge the various types. First, there are permanent commercial dumpsters—the kind you see behind restaurants and gas stations. There are also temporary roll-off dumpsters—the kind that can be rented as needed for household cleanouts, commercial remodels, and everything in between. These are called \"roll-off\" dumpsters because they literally get rolled off the truck and onto your driveway or other flat surface using a hook and pulley system. Temporary roll-off dumpsters come in multiple types as well, including tub styles, flat bottoms, and lowboys.
\r\n\r\nEach type of dumpster can accommodate different types of debris, some more efficiently than others. For example, lowboys are particularly helpful for heavy debris, like concrete, while flat bottoms are great for walking large items into the dumpster, like furniture.
\r\n![\"types](\"/sites/default/files/migrate_images/types-of-roll-off-dumpsters.jpg\")
\r\nThere are also trailer-style dumpsters and bag-style dumpsters.
\r\n![\"bag-style](\"/sites/default/files/migrate_images/other-types-of-dumpsters.jpg\")
\r\nAs you can see, you have several options to choose from when it comes to renting a dumpster, but don't let that overwhelm you.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"common](\"/sites/default/files/migrate_images/common-dumpster-sizes.jpg\")
\r\nDumpsters range in size from 3 cubic yards to 50 cubic yards.
\r\n\r\nChoosing the right dumpster size for your project is key to having a cost-efficient and streamlined rental experience.
\r\n\r\nReputable dumpster rental companies will help you choose the perfect container size for your particular project.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe recommend reaching out to at least two or three providers to be sure you get the best price.
\r\n\r\nSpeaking to multiple dumpster providers will give you a better idea of market prices for roll-off container rentals in your local area.
\r\n\r\nWhen getting quotes, be prepared to ask questions if the answers aren't readily available, like:
\r\n\r\nThe lowest price upfront isn't always the best option.
\r\n\r\nChoose your dumpster rental provider based on price, container and schedule availability, customer reviews, etc.
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\n![\"follow](\"/sites/default/files/migrate_images/follow-restrictions.jpg\")
\r\nEvery container rental comes with a weight limit, and dumpsters can only be filled so high while still remaining safe for transport.
\r\n\r\nThe load height should never exceed the top of the container, but there is generally a 'fill line' inside the dumpster to indicate the maximum fill point.
\r\n\r\nWeight limits and weight allowances vary from one company to the next.
\r\n\r\nIt's important to be aware of the weight allowance included in quotes you get from contractors.
\r\n\r\nOne company's price may be cheaper upfront, but if they only include 2,000 lbs and your debris weighs 4,000 lbs, you'll end up paying substantially for overage fees.
\r\n\r\nGenerally speaking, the bigger the container, the greater the weight allowance.
\r\n\r\nAvoid additional fees by loading the dumpster according to the weight and height limits set by the rental provider.
\r\nFind out more:
\r\n\r\nEvery dumpster rental agreement includes a rental period, with the most common falling in the 7-10 day range.
\r\n\r\nHowever, this varies by dumpster rental provider, and most are flexible in meeting the needs of your project timeline.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt’s important to complete the disposal within the agreed upon rental period. The dumpster may be subject to a daily fee for keeping the dumpster longer, ranging from $10-$20 per day.
\r\n
These fees can add up quickly, which is why we recommend staying within your agreed-upon schedule.
\r\n\r\nContact the dumpster provider when you are nearing your project's completion to be sure your container is picked up on time.

Starting your spring cleaning project without a plan, however, can slow down the process and increase your stress.
\r\n\r\nThat's why we've created these short, simple tips to explain how to spring clean and where to begin. Hometown is here to help you simplify and organize your plan of attack.
\r\n\r\n![\"5](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/5-tips-spring-cleaning-info.jpg\")
\r\nThe fastest way to get off track or feel overwhelmed with a spring cleaning project is by jumping from one project to the next. Before you know it, there is an ongoing project in every direction you look. When it comes to large cleaning projects, stick to one room or area of the home at a time.
\r\n\r\nIf you're someone that is motivated by instant gratification, start by working on a small area or one with less mess. Seeing fast results and the transformation that comes with it will help motivate you to tackle large, more cluttered spaces.
\r\n\r\nAnother approach is to start with the biggest project first. That way, every room gets easier and faster as you go.
\r\n\r\nGet rid of your junk this spring by going through closets, drawers, shelves, and boxes packed away and sort through all your items. Determine which items will stay, which items can be sold, donated, or recycled, and which items need to be thrown away.
\r\n\r\nWhen debating whether or not to keep an item, consider the last time the item has been used. If it's a non-seasonal item that hasn't been touched in four or more months, you likely won't miss it if it's gone.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nWhile you organize and sort through your belongings, take this opportunity to dust all exposed areas and crevices.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend wearing a mask while you do this to protect yourself from allergens. For more sensitive individuals, having an air purifier in the room with you while you're cleaning can also alleviate allergy flare-ups.
\r\n\r\n![\"10](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/2spring.png\")
\r\nIf you find your pile of items to throw away has grown into a pile too large to put in your weekly trash bin, rent a dumpster to manage your spring cleaning. 10 yard dumpsters are a perfect size for spring cleaning projects and 20 yard dumpsters are available for even larger projects. Rent from a locally-owned dumpster company for the best pricing and quality of customer service.
\r\n\r\nHometown makes it quick and easy to locate local dumpster companies near you. You can request free dumpster quotes to ensure you're paying a competitive price with the availability your project requires.

\r\n\r\nIf you have a good amount of junk to get rid of but not necessarily enough to rent a dumpster, hiring a junk removal company to haul away your unwanted items is a great spring cleaning solution. Junk removal companies are in and out of your home within a matter of minutes to load your unwanted items into their vehicle and haul them away to a donation, landfill, or recycling facility.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSome companies will even provide you with a tax deductible receipt for your donated items, so be sure to ask if your items are in good condition.
\r\n
Just like with dumpster rental, local-owned junk removal companies are the best choice to hire in comparison to large national chains, and Hometown can help with that. The companies we publish are licensed, bonded, and insured to perform the work they provide and are available for free junk removal estimates at your request.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhether you're replacing old carpet with new flooring or simply want to refresh your space, removing carpet yourself can save you a significant amount of money. However, like any DIY project, it's important to approach it with the right knowledge and know when to hire the pros instead.
\r\n
In this article, we'll explore DIY carpet removal, when hiring a professional is best, and how carpet removal works, which will help you save money in the long run and ensure you get the job done right.
\r\n\r\nBefore diving into the tips, it's essential to understand why you might want to remove carpet yourself rather than hiring a professional. There are several compelling reasons:
\r\n\r\nNow, let's delve into the DIY carpet removal process and various tips to ensure you can handle the task effectively...
\r\n\r\nBefore you start tearing up your carpet, make sure you have the following tools and supplies ready:
\r\n\r\nHaving the right tools on hand will make the process smoother and safer.
\r\n\r\nClear the room of all furniture and objects that could obstruct your work. This includes smaller items like lamps, decorations, and smaller pieces of furniture. For larger items, like sofas and beds, you may need to disassemble them or move them to another room.
\r\n\r\nBegin by using your utility knife to cut away the carpet along one edge of the room. Carefully make an incision near the wall, then use your pliers to grab a corner of the carpet and pull it up. Once you have a corner lifted, you can begin to peel the carpet away from the tack strips along the walls.
\r\n\r\nTack strips are narrow wooden strips with small, sharp nails that hold the carpet in place. Carefully use your pry bar or crowbar to detach the carpet from these strips. Be cautious not to damage the subfloor in the process.
\r\n\r\nAs you remove the carpet from the tack strips, roll it up tightly to make it easier to handle. If your carpet is in good condition, you might be able to donate or recycle it. Otherwise, dispose of it properly according to your local regulations.
\r\n\r\nUnderneath the carpet, you'll typically find a carpet pad. This is often held in place with adhesive or staples. Use your utility knife to cut and remove the pad in sections. Be careful when handling the pad, as it can be heavy and may contain dust or allergens.
\r\n\r\nOnce you've removed the carpet and pad, it's essential to clean and inspect the subfloor. Remove any leftover staples, nails, or adhesive residue. Make any necessary repairs to ensure a smooth and even surface for your new flooring.
\r\n\r\nDispose of all carpet, padding, and other materials in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations. Some materials may be recyclable, so check with your local recycling center for guidance.
\r\n\r\nIf you want to handle all the work yourself, renting a dumpster is a great option for disposing of the unwanted carpet. With a temporary roll-off dumpster, you'll be able to load the carpet into the dumpster yourself, go at your own pace, and get rid of other unwanted junk you have lying around your house in the process.
\r\n\r\nIf you'd rather have someone else handle the physical removing of your carpet as well as the proper disposal, professional junk removal services are likely the best option. Junk removal services typically cost more than renting a dumpster but that cost gains you added convenience, efficiency, and safety.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nIn some cases, you may encounter challenges during the carpet removal process, such as extremely stubborn adhesive or damaged subflooring. If you're uncomfortable tackling these issues on your own, it's wise to consult a professional to avoid potential complications.
\r\n\r\nRemoving carpet yourself can be a rewarding DIY project that saves you money and allows you to customize your home's flooring. However, it's important to ensure that the job is done right and that your room is ready for whatever flooring option you choose to install.
\r\n\r\nIf you do the work yourself, but you do it wrong, you'll end up paying more in the long run. Remember to take your time, prioritize safety, and be prepared for any unexpected challenges that may arise during the process. With the right tools and a little patience, you can transform your space and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.
\r\n\r\nWith that said, DIY isn't the only option. In fact, in many cases, hiring a professional is the smarter and more cost-effective choice.
\r\n\r\n![\"peeled](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/carpet-removal.jpg\")
\r\nThe easiest way to get rid of old carpeting is to hire a junk removal company to come and haul it away or to assist with the total removal.
\r\n\r\nJunk removal companies are committed to donating or recycling as much as possible, with carpet being no exception. To confirm your carpet is going to the right place, you can confirm with the companies you speak to how they plan to dispose of your old carpet. Donating and recycling is typically less expensive than disposing of something at a landfill, so if your carpet is salvageable, you could save a little bit of money by having it taken to the nearest donation center, like a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, or recycling facility.
\r\n\r\nCarpet removal via junk removal services is easy:
\r\n\r\nBe sure you hire the right person to handle your carpet removal project with the help of Hometown.
\r\n\r\nEasily request quotes from multiple pros in your area, read verified customer reviews, and get answers to common carpet removal questions, all from one place so you can get your project done faster and for less money.

\r\n\r\nTypically, a 10 yard dumpster is big enough to dispose of concrete debris from a driveway, concrete paver patio, sidewalk, or foundation removal.
\r\n\r\nHowever, the weight limit of your dumpster rental must also be enough to accommodate the weight of your concrete debris, not just the volume.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBecause concrete is so heavy, you'll need to be sure you rent a dumpster that can handle that weight.
\r\n
With a thorough understanding of your project, dumpster rental companies are experts at estimating the weight of your project's debris and recommending the ideal dumpster size.
\r\n\r\nFor reference: 1 cubic yard of concrete weighs approximately 4,000 lbs or 2 tons.
\r\n\r\nA majority of concrete is poured 4-6 inches thick, so you can get a rough estimate of your concrete's dimensions and overall weight that way, too.
\r\n\r\nHere are some examples of common concrete removal projects and the resulting debris...
\r\n\r\n| \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|---|
| Single-car concrete driveway removal (40 ft L x 10 ft W x 4 in. D) | \r\n\t\t\t5 cubic yards/10 tons | \r\n\t\t\t20 yard or 30 yard | \r\n\t\t
| Double-car concrete driveway removal (40 ft L x 20 ft W x 4 in. D) | \r\n\t\t\t10 cubic yards/20 tons | \r\n\t\t\t40 yard | \r\n\t\t
| Concrete patio removal | \r\n\t\t\t2 cubic yards/4 tons | \r\n\t\t\t10 yard | \r\n\t\t
| Concrete pathway or sidewalk removal | \r\n\t\t\t0.5 cubic yards/1 ton | \r\n\t\t\t10 yard | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
On average, a 10 yard dumpster costs $250-$450, a 20 yard dumpster costs $350-$550, 30 yard dumpsters cost $450-$650, and 40 yard dumpsters cost $550-$750 on average.
\r\n\r\nHowever, if you clean load the concrete—which is often required by law to be recycled—you may get a discounted price, as recycling fees are lower than landfill fees.
\r\n\r\nIt's also worth noting that dumpster rental companies charge different fees for exceeding their weight allowance, so ensuring you choose the right dumpster size from the right company is imperative.
\r\n\r\nTo ensure you rent the correct dumpster size from the best dumpster rental company, we recommend getting at least 2-3 quotes from local dumpster companies.

We compared Waste Management's dumpster prices to locally operated companies in 48 metro areas and found WM was over $100 more expensive, on average. There are a lot of brokers in the dumpster business. Some are reputable, but many are not. Brokers are an out-of-state middleman that books the dumpster at a higher rate than the local going rate, takes a cut, and passes the order on to a local hauler for the delivery and pickup. They aren't local and don't actually own any dumpsters, though some pretend as if they do. Worse, some claim to be 'budget' dumpster companies that have lower prices, which is almost always false. Contacting a locally-owned and operated hauler directly is how to get the best price on dumpster rental.
