So, you just requested a quote—ideally multiple quotes—from a dumpster rental service provider with Hometown.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAt Hometown, our quote request form makes the process of getting free estimates from local dumpster rental companies easy.
\r\n
Now that your request is submitted, you should receive a text confirming that your quote request was received and letting you know that a service provider will contact you if they decide to accept your request and agree to provide a quote.
\r\n![\"dumpster](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/dumpster-rental-quote-confirmation-text.jpg\")
\r\nAfter you receive this confirmation text message, you can expect to be contacted by dumpster rental companies as soon as a matter of minutes or within one business day.
\r\n\r\nWe send your quote request to the service provider you requested (and/or other local service providers providing dumpster rentals in your area) by text message and email.
\r\n\r\nThe service provider(s) you requested a quote from will then follow up with you directly to provide a quote.
\r\n\r\nAt Hometown, we don't think customers should have to spend their valuable time looking for local dumpster rental providers, requesting quotes, and chasing down pros. Instead, we do the legwork for you.
\r\n\r\nIf a service provider you reach out to doesn't wish to quote the rental or they don't quickly confirm their desire to quote the rental, we automatically send your quote request to another local dumpster rental company on your behalf.
\r\n\r\nWe repeat this process until you receive the number of quotes you requested, whether it's one, two, or three quotes.
\r\n\r\nIn most cases, we're able to get your requested number of quote requests from local companies willing to quote the dumpster rental in a matter of hours.
\r\n\r\nNote: Many local businesses are owner-operated, which means they may be out delivering or picking up another dumpster rental when they receive your quote request, and may be unable to immediately respond to your quote request.
\r\n\r\nHowever, they typically respond within a matter of hours and almost always provide the best customer service and the best deals for their services.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe always recommend getting three quotes in order to increase your chances of renting from the best company in your area, paying the best price, and getting the dumpster delivered when it's most convenient for you.
\r\n
When you receive a quote from a service provider, you are in no way obligated to rent a dumpster from them.
\r\n\r\nTake as much time as you need to compare each quote accurately, as not all companies prepare their quotes the same way.
\r\n\r\nBecause of this, it’s important to be sure you know what information to look for so you can make an informed hiring decision.
\r\n\r\nFor starters, qualified dumpster rental companies are always transparent about what is included in a dumpster rental cost, like the dumpster's weight allowance, permitted and prohibited debris, and what will incur additional fees for your dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\nSo the service provider's estimate, at the bare minimum, should outline the cost of the dumpster rental, the size of dumpster being rented, and any additional rules and charges that may be applied if these rules are not followed.
\r\n\r\nWith that being said, comparing dumpster rental quotes should involve the comparison of more than just price.
\r\n\r\nOther factors to consider when hiring a dumpster rental company, other than price, include:
\r\n\r\n![\"dumpster](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/blue-dumpster-at-work-site.jpg\")
\r\nGetting multiple estimates from dumpster rental providers before hiring helps to manage any risks associated with hiring any type of company, and it can end up saving you a lot of money and stress.
\r\n\r\nIf you're unsure about any aspect of a dumpster rental estimate, ask the company to clarify it before signing anything.
\r\n\r\nIf that company is unwilling to provide a thorough estimate or answer your project questions, we consider this a red flag and recommend finding another, more qualified dumpster rental provider.
\r\n\r\nOnce you have full understanding of the dumpster rental quotes you received, you can determine who to hire, schedule your dumpster rental, and pay for the service.
\r\n
\r\nThen, your dumpster rental will proceed as discussed with your service provider. Once you're done filling up your dumpster (following any rules given by the company), you can call the company to come pick up your dumpster. In some cases, the pick-up date is pre-determined, so confirm this before scheduling your dumpster rental.
If you overfilled your dumpster, added hazardous or otherwise prohibited items to your dumpster, or broke the dumpster's rules in any other way, you will be charged for that after the dumpster is emptied at the appropriate disposal facility.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere are several different styles and sizes of dumpsters available for temporary rent for both tenants and property owners.
\r\n
At Hometown, we specialize in helping people learn more about large disposal solutions and how to get the best price in their area.
\r\n\r\nThere are several different dumpster styles available to accommodate all different types of disposal needs.
\r\n\r\nThe main dumpster styles on the market are:
\r\n\r\nThe most common type of temporary dumpster rental is a roll-off container, which is literally rolled off the back of a dumpster truck and placed on your driveway, parking lot, in the street, etc.
\r\n\r\nThese heavy-duty containers feature an open top and swinging side door(s) that make loading the dumpster very easy.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe convenience of being able to walk your heavy or bulky items into a roll-off container rather than having to lift it over the sides makes it the preferred dumpster style for those getting rid of furniture, appliances, equipment, concrete debris, etc.
\r\n
Trailer dumpsters are a handy alternative to roll-off dumpsters that also feature an open top, but its most attractive feature is the fact that it sits on rubber wheels.
\r\n\r\nA trailer dumpster's rubber wheels and compact design make it easy to move or reposition as needed throughout the duration of your rental as long as you have a vehicle with a hitch.
\r\n\r\nIf you live in a rental unit that requires your dumpster rental to sit in a public street, you may be able to avoid having to get a dumpster permit by renting a trailer dumpster instead of a roll-off container, which can only be moved with the dumpster company's commercial vehicle.
\r\n\r\nYou will likely need to move the trailer dumpster daily in order to avoid needing to get a permit from your city or township.
\r\n\r\nThe local dumpster companies you speak with will know about the permit requirements where you live and will likely get the dumpster permit for you if necessary.
\r\n\r\nBag dumpsters are large, soft bags that can hold up to 3 yards worth of material and up to 3,300 lbs.
\r\n\r\nBag dumpsters are convenient if you live in an apartment or condo that does not allow you to rent a regular size dumpster, but if you're renting a home or business with the parking space to rent a roll-off or trailer dumpster, you can get rid of at least 3x as much material for a comparable price.
\r\n\r\nDumpster bags aren't the most cost-efficient, but they are great when your space is limited.
\r\n\r\nFinally, commercial dumpsters are rented from business tenants and are there long-term with weekly or bi-weekly emptying services.
\r\n\r\nCommercial dumpsters are rarely ever rented as a temporary disposal solution, but some companies may allow this if you have specific sizing requirements or they have a surplus of commercial dumpster containers and limited roll-off options.
\r\n\r\nContinue reading: The Different Types of Dumpster Styles
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTemporary dumpsters are sized by how many cubic yards they can hold.
\r\n\r\nThe most popular size temporary rentals are 10 yard and 20 yard dumpsters, but they can come in a wide variety of sizes.
\r\n\r\nThere are dumpster rentals that fall in between 10 and 20 yarders, like 12 yard and 15 yard containers.
\r\n\r\nMini dumpsters are sometimes offered and come in 2-9 yard sizes, and 30 and 40 dumpsters are available for the largest size projects.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf your rental is relatively small and your cleanup project is moderate, a 10 yard dumpster is usually a sufficient size.
\r\n
20 yard dumpsters are better for entire home cleanouts for multiple bed and bathroom properties or small to medium commercial rentals.
\r\n\r\n30 and 40 yard containers are used for larger projects, like construction/demolition, hoarding cleanups, commercial projects, etc.
\r\n\r\nDumpster bags come with a 3 yard capacity, and commercial dumpsters typically range from 2 yard to 10 yard sizes.
\r\n\r\nA cubic yard measures 1 yard L x 1 yard W x 1 yard H.
\r\n\r\n1 yard is 3 feet, so 1 cubic yard is 27 cubic feet.
\r\n\r\nChoosing the wrong size dumpster can cost you additional money than the quote you were initially give, which is why it's important to provide detailed, accurate information when you speak with different dumpster rental companies.
\r\n\r\nReputable dumpster rental companies are experts at recommending the perfect size container for your particular project.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Roll-off](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/overloaded-dumpster_0.png\")
\r\nThere are basic rules that all dumpster rental customers have to follow, regardless if they are the property owners or a renter.
\r\n\r\nSome of these common dumpster rental rules include not being able to throw prohibited or illegal material into the container, filling the container past the fill line, and ensuring you have the proper permits displayed if your container is placed in a public right-of-way or if your particular area requires a permit for your driveway or yard.
\r\n\r\nTenants must make sure from the property manager or owner of the property they're renting what, if any, their rules are regarding tenant dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen looking for dumpster rentals in your area, keep in mind that local waste companies tend to charge less than their larger competitors that service many areas.
\r\n\r\nFinding local dumpster providers is easy with Hometown.
\r\n\r\nWe publish locally-owned and operated dumpster rental and junk removal companies throughout the U.S., and we personally verify that each provider is licensed, insured, and reputable for your peace of mind.
\r\n\r\nBy entering your zip code and answering a few short questions about your dumpster needs, you'll be shown a list of qualified companies that service your area.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, you can read more about each company and the services they offer, read real customer reviews, and request as many free quotes as you'd like!
\r\n\r\nIt's always best practice to get at least 2-3 different quotes to not only compare pricing, but to make sure you're getting the dumpster size you need on a timeline that works for you.
\r\n\r\nGetting multiple quotes before renting a dumpster also helps you compare the quality of customer service you can expect from each company, which is often just as important as cost.

\r\n\r\nThis includes dumpsters that are placed on construction sites, commercial dumpsters at businesses, roll-off containers at homes, and other trash receptacles placed on private property.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEven though it is illegal to dump trash in someone else’s dumpster without permission—doing so could result in $500+ fines and possible jail time—it is still common for passersby to try and sneak their own garbage or items into dumpsters that aren't theirs.
\r\n
The exact laws regarding this issue vary by municipality, but most cities consider this type of illegal dumping a misdemeanor punishable by fines and possible jail time.
\r\n\r\nWhen people add trash to your rented roll-off dumpster without permission, it’s not only illegal, it’s also a headache for you.
\r\n\r\nHere’s why:
\r\n\r\nTo say the least, it is beyond frustrating to spend several hundred dollars on renting a dumpster only to find that trespassers have unlawfully thrown their own waste, junk, and debris into your container.
\r\n\r\n![\"Solutions](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/illegal-dumping-info_0.png\")
\r\nIf possible, the most foolproof way to keep others' items out of your dumpster is to have the dumpster placed inside a fenced-in area or inside a large garage, barn, or outbuilding.
\r\n\r\nMaking it harder for others to access the container greatly reduces the chances of them being able to take advantage of your rental.
\r\n\r\nBecause many people who rent a dumpster don't have a fenced-in yard or a large structure to store the dumpster safely, a more convenient and inexpensive solution is to utilize a tarp when the dumpster is not in use.
\r\n\r\nAll you need is an inexpensive tarp or two and bungee cords for securing them to the dumpster.
\r\n\r\nMost dumpsters have bars running along the sides of the container for easily hooking bungee cords.
\r\n\r\nTarping off your dumpster is also useful for keeping the contents dry during rain or snowstorms.
\r\n\r\nIf your dumpster includes fabrics or anything that can absorb water, rain can drastically increase the overall weight of your dumpster load, which can lead to incurring overage fees if you go over your included weight limit.
\r\n\r\nEven if your dumpster load only contains wood, metal, or other items that don't soak up water easily, snow can accumulate inside the dumpster if left open during a winter storm, which will increase the weight as well.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nThe likelihood of someone doing something they shouldn't goes up significantly in an area that is dark and hard to get caught.
\r\n\r\nFor this reason, leaving an outdoor light on when your dumpster is in your driveway or placing the dumpster under an exterior light at your business can reduce the chances of someone feeling comfortable tossing something inside.
\r\n\r\nLoad the dumpster quickly. If at all possible, finish loading the dumpster within a day and have it picked up soon after.
\r\n\r\nThe longer the dumpster sits on your property, the higher the risk of an illegal dumping situation.
\r\n\r\nSimilar to keeping your dumpster out of the dark, keeping your dumpster as far from public walkways, like streets, sidewalks, and alleyways, as possible will reduce the chances of someone feeling comfortable walking up to your dumpster and tossing something inside.
\r\n\r\nPlace the dumpster near your home or building rather than on or near the street, especially if it’s in an area with a lot of car or foot traffic.
\r\n\r\nA \"No Trespassing'\" or \"No Illegal Dumping\" sign may be enough to keep people from tossing their trash in your roll-off.
\r\n\r\nThe overall goal is to make it harder for people to feel comfortable treating your dumpster like it's theirs, and a simple warning sign can help.
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\nIf you’ve noticed trash and junk in the dumpster that’s not yours, look for any identifying labels or markings.
\r\n\r\nIf you are able to get a name, you can contact local authorities and pursue that route.
\r\n\r\nEven if you don’t find any identifying markings, it’s not a bad idea to contact authorities to inform them of the issue, especially if you have the dumpster on-site for several more days.
\r\n\r\nPolice would likely increase patrols in the neighborhood, which could be enough to give would-be “trash tossers” a reason to think twice about it.
\r\n\r\nRemember: Dumpster companies are generally not considered liable for other people dumping trash in your rented dumpster, that’s your responsibility as the renter.
\r\n\r\nEven so, it’s worth discussing the issue with your chosen dumpster rental company to see if they have any solutions that could work in your situation.
\r\n\r\nIn extreme cases, the rental company may be willing to work out a deal to provide a second dumpster or offer a discount to rent another dumpster if it is necessary to complete the cleanup.

The size and weight of a dumpster can make new customers concerned about the safety of their driveway, but there are safety measures that can be taken to ensure your concrete or asphalt driveway is protected from any potential damage.
\r\n\r\nIn this article, we'll describe the most popular methods reputable dumpster rental companies use to protect their customers' driveways from potential damage.
\r\n\r\nNote: Not all dumpster rental companies go the extra mile in this way. In most cases, concrete can handle a dumpster without incurring any damage. Asphalt, on the other hand, is softer and more easily damaged, especially on hot days, so it will require additional care. Be sure you ask the dumpster companies you speak to about whether or not they take this extra step to protect your driveway.
\r\n\r\n![\"How](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/protect-your-driveway-info-01.png\")
\r\nOne of the easiest ways to protect a driveway from damage when delivering a dumpster is to place plywood or other thick wood boards underneath the roll-off container's steel wheels.
\r\n\r\nOftentimes, these are provided and placed by the delivery driver and there is nothing that needs to be done on your part.
\r\n\r\nAs previously mentioned, it's best to confirm this when reaching out to different dumpster companies prior to hiring.
\r\n\r\nIf the company you hire does not provide them, plywood or other wood boards can easily be found at local hardware and lumber supply stores.
\r\n\r\nOr, you can find a different company that will provide these.
\r\n\r\nThe best way to find the best dumpster company in your area is by searching on Hometown.
\r\n\r\nWe make it easy to find and request free quotes from licensed, insured, and locally-owned dumpster companies that service your zip code.
\r\n\r\nGetting multiple quotes gives you the best opportunity to compare and contrast a company's quality of service, availability, and costs.
\r\n\r\nReputable dumpster rental companies will have weight limits in place based on the dumpster size you rent.
\r\n\r\nDumpsters include weight limits for several reasons:
\r\n\r\nGoing over your weight limit will result in additional overage charges and will vary from company to company.
\r\n\r\nThe average cost of dumpster overage fees are around $75-$100 per ton over the weight limit.

\r\n\r\nIf you're concerned that these steps aren't enough to protect your new or fragile driveway, a rubber-wheeled trailer dumpster is likely the best container type for your project.
\r\n\r\nTrailer dumpsters sit on rubber wheels rather than the steel wheels you'll find on traditional roll-off containers.
\r\n\r\nRubber wheels provide added protection to your driveway and weigh far less than the average vehicle.
\r\n\r\nPlacing wood underneath the tongue of the trailer is an added step that will ensure the properly placed dumpster won't do any harm to your concrete driveway.

Old furniture, broken tools, boxes from years ago, yard waste, sports equipment...it adds up fast. That’s why most homeowners end up renting a dumpster to make the cleanout quick, safe, and stress-free.
\r\n\r\nIf you’re tackling your first cleanout, you’re probably asking the same question everyone does:
\r\n\r\n“What size dumpster do I need for a garage cleanout?”
\r\n\r\nBelow is a complete breakdown of the best dumpster sizes, what fits in each one, and how to choose the right option for your project, especially if you want to avoid paying for more space than you need.
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster is a great option for all types of smaller cleanups.
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster works well for:
\r\n\r\nTypical capacity: 50-70 contractor bags
\r\n\r\nWho it’s best for: Homeowners doing a quick declutter or emptying a garage that’s only partially full
\r\n\r\nA 15 yard dumpster is one of the most popular picks because it handles a typical garage cleanout without being oversized.
\r\n\r\nGreat for:
\r\n\r\nTypical capacity: 80-100 contractor bags
\r\n\r\nWho it’s for: Anyone wanting a safe “middle ground” size
\r\n\r\nIf your garage is wall-to-wall clutter, or you truly don’t know what’s buried in there, a 20 yard dumpster is usually the safest bet.
\r\n\r\nPerfect for:
\r\n\r\nTypical capacity: 110-130+ contractor bags
\r\n\r\nWho it’s for: Homeowners who want to clear everything out in one load without worrying about running out of space
\r\n![\"dumpster](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/dumpster-with-junk.png\")
\r\nAsk yourself these questions:
\r\n\r\nHeavy items means you may need more space than you think, so sizing up to allow for a greater weight allowance is often the smart choice.
\r\n\r\nA 20 yard gives you breathing room, with an average weight limit of 3-5 tons (6,000-10,000 lbs).
\r\n\r\nIf the answer is yes, choose the next size up.
\r\n\r\nGetting a bigger dumpster is always cheaper than booking a second one.
\r\n\r\nYou have multiple disposal options available, like hiring a junk removal company to remove the items for you or hauling the items to a local charity or landfill yourself, but a dumpster is by far the easiest way to get a garage cleanout done.
\r\n\r\nDumpsters are great for garage cleanouts because:
\r\n\r\nA dumpster on-site helps keep the project organized, especially if you’re sorting donations, recycling, and trash.
\r\n\r\nSearch local haulers on Hometown that offer 10 yard dumpsters, 15 yard dumpsters, and/or 20 yard dumpsters so you can match the right size to your cleanout.
\r\n\r\nConclusion: Most Homeowners Need a 15 or 20 Yard Dumpster
\r\n
\r\nIf your garage is even moderately full, you’ll likely want a 15 or 20 yard. The price difference is usually small, and the extra space ensures you’re not stuck scrambling for another container.

Residential dumpsters come in a variety of different styles and sizes to accommodate small to large home cleanouts, but choosing the right dumpster size can be the difference between staying within your budget and overspending by hundreds of dollars.
\r\n\r\n![\"Best](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/best-dumpster-sizes-home-cleanouts-info.png\")
\r\n\r\n\r\nDumpster sizes are measured by their cubic yardage and the most common sizes have 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard capacities.
\r\n\r\nSome companies offer \"mini dumpsters\" that come in 2 yards to 10 yards, and some companies carry odd number sizes, like 15 yard and 25 yard dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nBecause the 10-40 yard dumpsters are by far the most common, they're usually the most cost-efficient as well, so we'll focus on those so that you get the most out of your rental.

\r\n\r\nOne of the most costly yet common mistakes that customers make when renting a dumpster is underestimating the amount of junk, garbage, or debris they have to get rid of.
\r\n\r\nCalculating the amount of trash you have can be notoriously difficult, which is why we recommend renting a dumpster one size larger than you think you'll need if you're on the fence.
\r\n\r\nThe difference between renting a 10 yard dumpster and a 20 yard dumpster is around $100-$200 on average for twice the amount of dumpster space.
\r\n\r\nGoing over your weight limit or having to rent a second or third dumpster, however, can end up costing you anywhere from $75-$450+.
\r\n\r\nMaking sure you understand the terms and conditions of your dumpster rental agreement is crucial to avoid spending more on your dumpster rental than your initial quote.
\r\n\r\nNearly every reputable dumpster rental company has a small list of items that are considered hazardous material that cannot be placed in their dumpsters, like paint, pesticides, rubber tires, freon containing appliances, etc., and adding unauthorized items and material is an instant fee added to your disposal bill.
\r\n\r\nAnother overlooked factor that affects the cost of a dumpster is the company you rent from.
\r\n\r\nIn the majority of situations, renting a dumpster from a small, locally-owned and operated dumpster company tends to cost less than renting a dumpster from a large, nationwide disposal chain.
\r\n\r\nAsk the right questions and get references before hiring anyone to ensure you're getting a competitive dumpster price in your area.
\r\n\r\nExtending your rental duration, not being ready or available for your scheduled delivery, and overfilling your dumpster are all ways you could end up overspending on your rental, so take the time to understand what is and isn't allowed before hiring a dumpster company.

The bigger the dumpster, the greater the weight allowance. Dumpster companies generally charge an overage fee when your load goes over the allotted weight. Overage costs typically range between $50 per ton and $100 per ton. Household junk is much lighter compared to the same volume of dirt, bricks, or concrete debris. Be wary of overage charges when dealing with heavier debris.
\r\n\r\nThis will help give you a general idea of what type and how much debris can fit inside a roll-off container.
