Common Factors That Affect 20 Yard Dumpster Pricing

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dumpster overage fees vary from one rental provider to the next but range from $75-$100+ per ton on average depending on where you're located. To be sure you aren't surprised by any fees, make sure you understand what each dumpster rental quote includes and what items are not allowed in your dumpster.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Hometown makes it simple to compare 20 yard dumpster rental prices from trusted local providers. See exactly how much weight is included in each dumpster's price, overage fees if you go over your weight, what items are prohibited, and how much they charge if you put a prohibited item in your dumpster.

\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Always factor in the estimated weight of the debris you plan to load into the dumpster to be sure you choose the right dumpster for you. Choosing the right dumpster size isn't just about volume of debris, it's also about weight. A 20 yard dumpster typically includes 3-5 tons (6,000-10,000 lbs), so make sure this is the right dumpster for your project before booking.

\"Spring\r\n

Remove Seasonal Decor, Furniture, and Other Junk

\r\n\r\n

One of the very first things you should do if you haven't already is remove any seasonal decor that is still left in your yard or on the outside of your home. Any Christmas or Valentine's Day decor should be packed up and stored away for next year. If you love decorating your yard and home for different seasons, consider replacing your winter decor with spring-inspired decor. Tulips and other bright-colored flowers make beautiful front door wreaths, and patio string lights can replace the holiday-colored string lights people use during the winter months. Before you start putting out Easter decorations or patio furniture, be sure to complete the following yard cleanup steps. 

\r\n\r\n

Make sure that your entire yard is free from clutter and debris. This includes old play sets your children have outgrown, broken and worn bird baths, above ground pools, scrap metal, old bikes, rubber tires, stockpiled wood, or anything else that should otherwise be thrown away or recycled. Lawns should not be used for storage or to start your own backyard \"landfill.\" Allowing garbage and junk to pile up on your lawn will not only kill your grass, but it will collect sitting water that attracts bugs and other pests in search of shelter, not to mention unhappy neighbors if they have to look at your mess, too. Treating your yard like a scrap yard is a danger to any person or pet that steps foot on your property, and it's a huge liability for you as the homeowner.

\r\n\r\n

When you purchase, inherit, or otherwise acquire a home with a completely unmaintained lawn full of junk and other yard scraps that need to be hauled away and disposed of, it's best to hire a professional yard cleanup company, or at the very least, rent a dumpster for safe and efficient disposal. A 10 or 20 yard dumpster rental will cost you around $250-$550 on average and typically includes 5-7 days of rental. Renting a dumpster is an affordable way to clean up and get rid of any junk in your yard that has been sitting, rotting, and devaluing your property.

\r\n\r\n

If you're unable or unwilling to do all of the heavy lifting and dirty work yourself, hiring a junk removal company to clear away all the waste in your yard is one of the easiest ways to do so. While a little bit more expensive than renting a dumpster, spring yard cleanup services with a professional junk removal company have an average cost of $500-$1,000, but the convenience of not having to lift a finger and not putting yourself at risk of harm or injury cannot be overstated.

\r\n\r\n

Renting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal to help you clear out your yard of wanted items is a great way to instantly up your curb appeal and increase the value of your home. Finding a quality yard cleanup service in your area who is reliable and competitively priced is easy with Hometown. You can fill out our quote request form and receive up to three project quotes, completely free of charge, with the click of a button.

\r\n\r\n

Pick Up Refuse and Rake

\r\n\r\n

After you make sure that your yard is clear of junk and scraps, the first thing you should do to prepare your yard for spring is go over it with a rake and remove all of the leftover dead debris that was trapped in place during the winter. If you have dogs, first do a yard sweep to pick up all their droppings so that it doesn't get mixed in with your yard waste. 

\r\n\r\n

From there, remove any fallen tree branches, sticks, or other large debris that can't be easily raked up. You can place these sticks and twigs into a bucket and later use them for kindling to start those sought-after summer bonfires. Also pick up any large rocks or stones that could damage your lawn mower. Having larger items out of the way will make raking your yard much easier.

\r\n\r\n

Then, rake up any remaining dead leaves and weeds leftover from the fall. It's important to rake up as much loose debris as possible for the best results for a healthy lawn. The more material you have scattered across your lawn, the harder it will be for your lawn to get the water, nutrients, and sunshine needed to grow into a luscious, healthy lawn. After you've done this type of \"deep cleaning\" with a rake through your lawn, make it a habit to do this around once a month throughout the warmer seasons.

\r\n\r\n

These piles of dead leaves and other organic material can be conveniently composted or bagged in lawn waste bags approved by your city. Be sure not to place them in plastic bags and do not mix them in with your regular trash. Some municipalities will fine you for doing so. If you don't have an easy to way to compost your leaf pile and are unsure of what to do with it, research your weekly trash service to find out how they handle this type of waste.

\r\n\r\n

Apply Fertilizer and Weed Killer

\r\n\r\n

If you live in a cold climate and your yard is looking old, tired, and quite frankly, dead, consider starting a fertilizer schedule to jumpstart your lawn's regrowth. Fertilizer supplies your grass with nutrients needed to grow that depleted during the winter.

\r\n\r\n

There are plenty of different options available that make fertilizing your lawn straight forward and range from DIY options like Sunday to full-service options like TruGreen. Many experts believe that fertilizer should be applied at least twice a year, with the first fertilization typically planned for April or May. This will vary, however, based on the type of grass you have, your climate, soil nutrients, etc. Lawn care experts in your area will be able to tell you what will work best for your particular situation. For example, \"cool season\" grasses, like bluegrass and ryegrass, are typically fertilized in the early spring and beginning of fall, while other \"warm season\" grasses are typically fertilized in the spring and then again later in the summer.

\r\n\r\n

Understanding your particular lawn's nutrient needs will help guide you on the best path for optimal lawn regrowth. It's also important to start mowing your lawn once it has grown to about 2.5-3 inches tall. Many people suggest mowing your lawn every 5 days once it has started to grow in the spring, and then slowing down to once a week during peak summer. When it's the warmest, you can allow your grass to grow longer, around 3.5-4 inches tall, to provide more shade and safety for the grass. Cutting your grass too short midsummer can result in scorched lawns that are a sight for sore eyes (and feet!).

\r\n\r\n

Another important aspect of a healthy lawn is not only removing weeds once they've shown up, but doing your best to prevent the start and spread of their growth before they can even be spotted. This is especially important if you noticed that weeds in your yard were very prevalent during the previous year.  If weeds tend to be a problem in your yard, consider using a pre-emergent herbicide, or \"weed killer.\" Pre-emergent weed killers can be applied early in the spring where it will sit in the soil and destroy weed seed while it's germinating. If it's too late and weeds have already begun to sprout, using a post-emergent weed killer will work just as well, but will require more pruning and removal after the herbicide has taken affect. 

\r\n\r\n

Prune and Trim

\r\n\r\n

Once your lawn has been cleared of all debris and has been set up for success with fertilizer and pre-emergent weed killers, it's time to start giving your shrubs and trees some much needed attention. Remove any shrub shelters in place and make sure they're dry and dusted off. If there isn't any obvious damage to them, store them away so that they can be reused again in the fall.

\r\n\r\n

The goal of spring pruning is to remove any dead, damaged wood that is unpleasant to look at or could hinder the future growth of your plants. The trick of spring pruning, however, is to be careful to not prevent the growth of any buds or blooms. Making sure you know what to look for and properly timing out your trimming and pruning schedule is critical if you want to be successful. One of the more obvious things that you can feel confident in when you're trimming back shrubs is that if you can clearly see where the green part of the plant ends and a brown, dead spot of the plant begins, it is safe to remove and will instantly make your plant look more healthy and attractive. 

\r\n\r\n

If you're someone who wants to trim your plant into a specific shape or length for aesthetic purposes, there are a few things to keep in mind before you go in with a pair of sheers. Shrubs that bud and flower have a specific growing schedule and prematurely cutting them off could ruin your chances of enjoying this season's bloom. There are many types of shrubs that grow their flowers (and sometimes fruit) from buds that were grown during the previous season before their winter hibernations. For example, pruning your blueberry bushes in the spring before they've fruited could result in you cutting off the buds that are suppose to flower and fruit.

\r\n\r\n

If you're unsure what your shrub or bush is, carefully inspect the branches of it in early spring, before any leaves have grown. If you spot any buds, be sure to only trim off dead branches and wait until after it blooms to trim it back. Other types of bushes and shrubs bloom later in the year on new growth that is produced in the current season. These shrubs are safe to trim back early on in the spring without fear of losing any buds and are safe to shape and trim to your preference.

\r\n\r\n

Take a good look at any bushes or trees that are bordering any walls of your home, garage, sheds, or other outdoor structures. Large plants can retain and attract moisture and pests, which is why it's a good idea to have at least 2 feet of space between these plants and the exteriors of any structures on your property. Trim back any tree branches or shrubs that have grown too close to (or above) your home.

\r\n\r\n

Mulch

\r\n\r\n

Mulch is used for a variety of reasons, like retaining water, preventing weed growth, reducing soil erosion, and enhancing the look of your flowerbeds. 

\r\n\r\n

If you previously laid down mulch over perennials for the winter, you'll need to remove it or brush it back so that it does not smother and hinder the regrowth of your perennials. Be sure to remove any old or excess mulch before applying your new mulch. When you're laying new mulch, you typically want to spread it between 2-4 inches thick, but you'll want to use it more sparingly around perennials, shrubs, and trees. Spreading mulch too heavily near these plants can either prevent water from getting to the roots, or cause too much water to pool and sit at the plant's base. 

\r\n\r\n

Power Wash

\r\n\r\n

Once your entire yard is cleaned up, consider using a pressure washer to give the exterior of your property an extra \"wow-factor.\" Spring time is the best time of year to power wash the exterior of your home, garage, shed, concrete sidewalks, driveway, and slabs, as well as composite and wooden decks and fencing. Washing away all signs of dirt, age, and other grime with a power washer gives your property an instant facelift and tells anyone driving by, \"This property is well maintained.\"

\r\n\r\n

You should only operate a power washer if you read the manual and understand exactly how to safely operate one, and you wear the appropriate shoes and safety gear. Failing to follow directions could at best end up in damaged property, and at worst could end up with serious injury.

\r\n\r\n

Power washers should never be operated when it's under 40 degrees Fahrenheit out, as this can ruin the machinery. It's also important to understand the different types of pressures and chemicals that should be used on different surfaces so that you don't cause damage to the surfaces you're cleaning. Using caution when operating a power washer is crucial, as contact to people, pets, and plans can be extremely dangerous and harmful.

\r\n\r\n

If you have a wooden deck or fence that needs to be re-stained, you should wait until the summertime to do so. Stain should be applied to completely dry wood, so the wet and sometimes chilly spring weather is a less than ideal time to stain your deck or fence. 

\r\n\r\n

Light Demolition

\r\n\r\n

If all the power washing and re-staining in the world wouldn't be able to salvage the look of your deck, fence, concrete, or shed, considering light demolition could be a worthwhile investment.

\r\n\r\n

Hiring a professional to handle your light demolition is easily the safest and most time-efficient way to reinvent your property and make room for improvements. Light demolition costs vary based on a number of factors, including the type and size of the shed, deck, fence, or concrete slab, the materials being removed, the location and accessibility of the structures/material, and who you hire. That being said, we've put together a list of the average costs for these types of projects across the U.S.

Choosing the appropriate size dumpster for your business is a vital step to making sure your company has the best regular disposal solution for the best price.

\r\n\r\n

Choosing a dumpster that's too small could result in you paying more in the long run, as more pick-ups will likely be required. On the other hand, opting for a business dumpster that's too big means you're paying for more disposal power than is necessary to run your business, and downsizing could save you money.

\r\n\r\n

 

\r\n\r\n

2-4 cubic yard dumpsters are ideal to manage the waste produced by smaller businesses, like small retail shops or diners. Businesses that produce more debris, like large restaurants, gas stations, and apartment complexes, will be better suited with a 6-8 yard commercial dumpster.

\r\n\r\n

If these size options are too small for the amount of waste your businesses produces, a commercial trash compactor is likely a better option. Like commercial dumpsters, commercial compactors come in a wide range of sizes, from 4-40 yards. 40 yard trash compactors are ideal for large facilities or warehouses, like Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. Businesses that process many tons of recyclable material, like cardboard, are perfect candidates for large commercial compactors.

Average Commercial Dumpster Costs

\r\n\r\n

The cost of commercial dumpster rental services vary based on a variety of factors, like the size of the container, how frequently the dumpster is emptied, where the container is located, the type and amount of waste that's being disposed of, and who you hire to handle your commercial waste management. 

\r\n\r\n

As expected, larger dumpsters tend to cost more than their smaller counterparts and weekly pick-ups will cost more than bi-weekly pick-ups. If your business is located in an area with a high cost of living, you'll pay more than a comparable business located in an area with a lower cost of living. 

\r\n\r\n

With all of that being said, the average cost for commercial dumpster services is $100-$200 per month for weekly pick-ups. Here is a closer look at average commercial dumpster rental costs:

Prices in your market may vary.

\r\n\r\n

 

\r\n\r\n

There are other fees that may apply in addition to your dumpster's monty service charge, so we recommend inquiring about possible additional fees and charges with the different commercial dumpster companies you speak with. Contracts will be required but contract lengths will vary. Some companies may offer a better deal for a contract that lasts several years, but you may require a month-to-month agreement. Be sure to check with several services providers in your area to ensure that you find a contract that suites your needs at a price that your business can afford.

\r\n\r\n

Our single quote request form allows you to answer questions about your business's disposal needs once and then receive up to 3 different quotes from commercial dumpster rental companies in your area.

Estimate Your Company's Disposal Needs

\r\n\r\n

The most important steps to choosing the right size commercial dumpster for your business is determining the type and amount of waste you produce on a regular basis.

\r\n\r\n

Volume

\r\n\r\n

Estimating the volume of trash you produce is pretty straight forward when the trash is consistently tied up in garbage bags. However, that isn't always the case. If you can't estimate your trash by number of trash bags, we recommend estimating roughly how many cubic yards (3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft) of waste your business produces each week. Measuring the cubic yardage of trash you produce is especially helpful when choosing the right dumpster size for your business because dumpsters are measured in cubic yards.

\r\n\r\n

Weight

\r\n\r\n

Estimating the weight of your company's trash or debris can be particularly difficult if there are many different types of waste being tossed in the dumpster. For example, wet debris weighs significantly more than dry debris, which is why it's important to keep your company dumpster closed when not in use to avoid water pooling in the container.

\r\n\r\n

You can use this formula to help you estimate the weight of the waste being tossed into your company's dumpster on a daily basis:

\r\n\r\n

(Weight of 1 yard of a particular waste) x (Number of square yards) = Total weight

\r\n\r\n

Calculate the weight for each type of waste that gets added to your dumpster and then add them all together to get an idea of how much weight is added to your company dumpster on a regular basis. Knowing the type and amount of waste that is added to your company dumpster, as well as using the chart above, can help you determine which dumpster size will most appropriately contain your company's weekly waste. 

\r\n\r\n

Frequency

\r\n\r\n

It's most common to measure your commercial waste management needs from a weekly perspective, as weekly pick-ups are the most popular schedule for commercial dumpster services.

\r\n\r\n

For example, if your business is a restaurant, your dumpster should be picked up—at a minimum—on a weekly basis to minimize odors and rodents. So you should select a dumpster that can adequately handle a week's worth of your business' waste.

\r\n\r\n

If your business primarily produces a small to moderate amount paper and plastic waste with only the occasional food waste, a weekly dumpster pick-up would likely be more frequent than you need, and it might be worth considering a bi-weekly pick-up. So you should select a dumpster that can adequately handle two weeks' worth of your business' waste.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Dumpster rental companies are experts at helping you choose the right container size for your business, so be sure to give them as many details as you can about the type and amount of waste your company produces on a typical day. Use the information you've gathered and their professional opinion to rent the best container size for your business.

Dumpster Sizes

\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

The most common roll-off container sizes include 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard capacities.

\r\n\r\n

You may also find that some dumpster rental companies have other sizes available, such as 8 yard, 12 yard, 15 yard, 25 yard, and others.

\r\n\r\n

With various dumpster sizes available, it can be overwhelming for first-time dumpster renters to determine which dumpster is the right size for the job.

\r\n\r\n

However, dumpster rental companies simplify this problem by recommending a container size based on the project and the amount of waste, junk, or debris you’re disposing of.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

When calling a dumpster rental company for information or a quote, be sure to have a description of your project ready.

\r\n
\r\n\r\n

For a kitchen demolition example, tell the rental provider the project (kitchen demo) and number of cabinets, approximate size and type of countertop, flooring, appliances, and other details.

\r\n\r\n

The more details you can give them, the more accurate the dumpster rental company can be in recommending the right dumpster for the job.

\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

Dumpster Costs

\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

The cost of renting a dumpster will vary based on your location, size of the dumpster, type of debris, and other factors.

\r\n\r\n

Based on data collected by HometownDumpsterRental.com, the national average cost to rent a dumpster is as follows:

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Your dumpster rental rate may vary from the above figures, as these are national averages.

\r\n\r\n
We suggest getting several dumpster quotes before booking a dumpster. Don’t base your decision on price alone, as the reputation of a company should be a key factor in choosing a reliable waste hauler.
\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

Step-by-Step Dumpster Rental Process

\r\n\r\n

Now that you have a thorough understanding of dumpster costs and sizes, here is a step-by-step look at the basic dumpster rental process.

\r\n\r\n

1. Analyze the project.

\r\n\r\n

Gather as many details as possible about your project, such as debris type, size of the job, type of project (e.g., shed demolition), and project timeline details.

\r\n\r\n

2. Contact dumpster rental companies.

\r\n\r\n

Contact 2-3+ local dumpster rental companies to compare pricing and services.

\r\n\r\n

Each rental company you speak to will be able to suggest the dumpster size they believe is best for your project, and each company may have slightly different weight allowances and pricing for the same dumpster size.

\r\n\r\n

3. Prep for delivery.

\r\n\r\n

Make sure the area is clear of cars and other obstructions prior to the dumpster getting dropped off.

\r\n\r\n

4. Load up the dumpster.

\r\n\r\n

Fill up the dumpster with the project waste, junk, or debris.Be sure to follow the rules regarding loading the dumpster too high and/or loading prohibited items (e.g., hazardous materials).

\r\n\r\n

5. Call for pick-up.

\r\n\r\n

Contact the dumpster rental company to come pick it up if you’re finished with it before the agreed upon pick up date.

\r\n\r\n

6. Complete any outstanding payments.

\r\n\r\n

If you haven’t already, pay for the dumpster rental. Beyond the base rate, other potential charges include overage fees. This is an additional fee that is only charged if you exceed the dumpster’s weight allowance.

\r\n\r\n

7. Leave an online review.

\r\n\r\n

Help other customers by leaving an online review that describes your experience with the dumpster company, good or bad.

Whether you're a homeowner, a contractor, a landlord, or a business owner, you know how easy it is for junk and debris to accumulate and get out of hand. Regardless of the mess you're facing, whether it's a renovation, a yard clean-up, or a garage cleanout, you may be curious how much it costs to rent a dumpster.

\r\n\r\n

Renting a roll off dumpster will cost you on average between $250-$550 per week, but you could pay as little as $100 for a small, short-term dumpster or as much as $750+ for a large, commercial-sized dumpster.

Dumpster Rental Cost Factors

\r\n\r\n

Dumpsters are versatile and suitable for all types of projects. Dumpster companies work with both homeowners and commercial customers whose needs range from small junk removal to major demolition debris cleanups, which means everything, including the size of the dumpster you rent, the length of the rental, the type of debris going in the container, local landfill and recycling fees, and the dumpster rental company you choose will all affect the price.

\r\n\r\n

Type of Dumpster Rental

\r\n\r\n

Before ordering a large roll-off dumpster commonly used for major renovations or big cleanups, consider all the dumpster options available to you. For example, you may be better off using a dumpster bag if you have a very small amount to get rid of, or perhaps a junk removal crew could simply haul away a few large items on your behalf. If you need your dumpster placed in a tight space for a short period of time, a trailer dumpster may be a good choice.

\r\n\r\n

Roll-Off Dumpster

\r\n\r\n

Roll off dumpsters are the most popular type of temporary residential dumpster rental. A small residential dumpster costs $250-$350 per week on average, and that typically includes an average weight limit for the dumpster of 2-3 tons or less. A larger residential dumpster costs $450-$750 per week on average, and that typically includes an average of 4-6 tons or more.

\r\n\r\n

Trailer Dumpster

\r\n\r\n

Trailer dumpsters are another great alternative to roll-off dumpsters because they can often go where larger dumpsters can't, like tight driveways, alleyways, narrow streets, etc. A trailer dumpster costs $150-$350 on average per week and typically includes a weight limit of 1,000 lbs to a ton (more in some cases).

\r\n\r\n

Dumpster Bag

\r\n\r\n

Dumpster bags are a great alternative to traditional dumpster rentals when you have a small amount of trash or debris that isn't bulky or sharp. A dumpster bag costs $145-$335 total on average, with the bag itself costing $25-$35 and pick-up fees ranging from $120-$335. These bags can be set up in a driveway or other location accessible by the dumpster bag pick-up trucks. Most dumpster bags have a 3 yard maximum capacity or 1 yard capacity if you're putting heavy debris in the bag.

\r\n\r\n

Construction Dumpster

\r\n\r\n

Construction dumpsters are very similar to residential roll-off dumpsters and come in a variety of sizes. Construction dumpster rental costs anywhere from $250-$750 per week on average. Construction dumpsters often require being emptied, or swapping the dumpster out for a new one, multiple times before the project is complete. The larger the dumpster and the more you need it emptied, the more you can expect to pay for your construction dumpster.

\r\n\r\n

Commercial Dumpster

\r\n\r\n

Commercial dumpsters cost anywhere from $90-$300 per month. They come in a variety of sizes and typically range from 2 yards to 8 yards. They are the best option for business owners or landlords looking to manage trash, junk, or debris on an ongoing basis. These are typically the large, covered trash containers you see at apartment complexes, gas stations, restaurants, and other businesses. They get emptied on a pre-determined schedule, either weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly in most cases. If you need a dumpster that isn't temporary and can handle commercial trash collection, this is your best option.

\r\n\r\n

Junk Removal Service

\r\n\r\n

For an average cost of $75-$300, you could avoid heavy lifting altogether by hiring a junk removal company instead. Junk hauling companies can handle small projects, like removing a couple pieces of furniture or bags of trash, and large projects, like garage or basement cleanouts and even hoarding cleanups. Larger, more involved junk removal projects cost $500-$1,000 on average. All you need to do is pile up the junk you don't want for pick-up or point out what needs to be done, and they'll do the rest.

\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

Dumpster Size

\r\n\r\n

Dumpster sizes come in a wide range of capacities that can accommodate anything from small residential jobs to major commercial projects. Sizes are labelled by their cubic yard capacity, like 2 yard, 8 yard, 10 yard, and 20 yard for example, as well as the amount of weight they can hold (pounds or tons).

\r\n\r\n

Small dumpsters, like those that come in 2 yard, 4 yard, 6 yard, and 8 yard capacities, typically look like the dumpsters you see behind gas stations, fast food restaurants, and other businesses. They also may look like the trailer dumpsters you see pulled behind pick-up trucks and other vehicles. These \"mini dumpsters\" are the perfect solution for small cleanups, simple remodel projects, or cleaning up a messy yard.

\r\n\r\n

Larger dumpsters, like 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, or 40 yard capacity containers, typically look like the roll-off style dumpsters you see on large dumpster trucks. Consider renting these larger dumpsters when you have more than roughly seven yards of junk or debris to dispose of or if the debris is extremely heavy, like with concrete removal or other demolition and construction cleanup jobs.

\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dumpster Company

\r\n\r\n

Nationally known chains, like Waste Management and Republic Services, offer a variety of trash-related services, including dumpster rentals, but they charge anywhere from $450-$650 on average per week for a 20 yard dumpster. You could save $100-$200 or more per week by renting from a local dumpster rental company instead.

\r\n\r\n

Local dumpster rental companies can typically charge less due to their low overhead costs and their close proximity to customers and local disposal facilities. They also tend to offer more personal customer service.

\r\n\r\n

You may also come across dumpster brokers that serve as a middleman for local dumpster management. While they may make it more convenient to rent a dumpster—especially in more rural areas where there are few, if any, local dumpster providers—you typically pay for the convenience they offer. Whenever possible, we recommend renting a dumpster from a local company to ensure you get the best dumpster rental price and the best customer service throughout your rental period.

\r\n\r\n

Rental Duration

\r\n\r\n

The average dumpster rental duration is 5-7 days. Generally speaking, companies are typically unable to offer cheaper daily rates on their dumpsters due to the nature of delivering, picking up, and emptying a dumpster, but some companies may be willing to offer you a lower rate for a shorter rental. The average weekly rate for dumpster rental is $350-$550. If you have an ongoing project that requires a longer term dumpster rental, most companies are happy to meet your needs. Many companies offer monthly rates as well, ranging from $500-$1,200 per month. If you need your dumpster for longer than expected, many companies charge an addition $5-$25 per day.

\r\n\r\n

Weight

\r\n\r\n

Each dumpster company includes a different weight allowance in the price of their dumpsters. For example, a 10 yard dumpster can hold 2-3 tons on average and costs between $250-$450. A larger dumpster, like a 40 yard container, can hold 6-8 tons on average and costs between $550-$750. If you go over your dumpster's included weight limit, you can expect to be charged an overage fee.

\r\n\r\n

Overloading fees vary from company-to-company, but they typically range from $50-$100 for each additional ton. (Companies often prorate this fee.) This is why it's important to discuss your project with the dumpster companies you speak to, as they will be able to help you estimate the weight of your project's debris and ensure you get the right dumpster size and weight limit for your project.

\r\n\r\n

Location

\r\n\r\n

Where you live and where you need your dumpster also affects dumpster rental pricing. Just like the cost of living varies throughout the country, so do dump fees and recycling fees, which have a direct impact on your dumpster cost. If you live in an area with a higher cost of living, you can expect to pay more for your dumpster than someone who lives in an area with a lower cost of living.

\r\n\r\n

Debris Type

\r\n\r\n

The type of trash or debris going in your dumpster can also affect cost. For example, some dumpster companies have different rates for dumpsters rented for construction debris than for dumpsters rented for household junk. This is another reason why you should give the dumpster companies you speak to as much detail as possible. This will ensure you get the right dumpster for your debris type and the amount of debris you have, as well as avoid potential fees for adding prohibited items to your dumpster.

\r\n\r\n

Permits

\r\n\r\n

Most dumpster companies include the price of dumpster permits in their total service cost. However, if you are working on a construction project, you may be responsible for obtaining a separate dumpster permit, which costs $10-$100 in most cases. Check with your local building department for more information.

Cost of Dumpster Rental vs Junk Removal Services

\r\n\r\n

Professional junk removal costs $75-$300 on average for small- to medium-sized projects but can cost as much as $1,000 or more for larger cleanup projects. The average price to rent a dumpster is $250-$450, so in the case of very small projects, junk removal services may be the cheaper option and could save you money.

\r\n\r\n

Each option offers convenience in different scenarios. For example, if you need to manage waste from an ongoing renovation project, dumpster rental allows you to add the debris to the dumpster as you go, keeping your site clean and safe. If you have a pile of junk you no longer want, junk removal companies can remove all of it at once. While all-inclusive junk removal is more convenient when you need to remove junk or debris in a single trip, dumpster rental is more convenient for ongoing waste management or when you have a cleanup project that will take multiple days to complete.

\r\n\r\n

Similarly, if you have more than just a small cleanup to do, junk removal services can get expensive for larger projects because they are all-inclusive. Weigh the pros and cons of convenience and price to determine whether to rent a dumpster or hire a junk removal service.

Many people don't realize that there are three different types of dumpster companies, and understanding the distinction between these companies can save you money and get you the best price for a roll off dumpster.

\r\n\r\n

3 Types of Dumpster Rental Providers

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At Hometown, we always recommend renting from a local dumpster rental service because nine times out of ten, they offer better customer service and lower prices. Your other two options—renting from a large, national hauler or from a dumpster broker—are almost always more expensive for a worse customer experience.

\r\n\r\n

Big, national companies, like Republic Services and Waste Management, are excellent for regular weekly collection of residential trash. For curbside trash pickup, these companies run highly efficient operations with very competitive prices, but it's a different story for temporary dumpster rental.

\r\n\"local\r\n

Compared to small and local disposal services, renting from big dumpster companies costs quite a bit more.

\r\n\r\n

We surveyed 48 U.S. metro areas and compared Waste Management's dumpster prices to local dumpster services. Because 20 yard dumpsters are the smallest size container that Waste Management offers, that's the container size we've compared.

\r\n\r\n

On average, the cost to rent a 20 yard dumpster from Waste Management is $525 compared to $370 from a local hauler. Dumpster rentals from local companies can save you $155 on average or more in some cases. And along with better prices, local dumpster companies also tend to offer better customer service.

\r\n\r\n

Many local companies are family operated businesses, so when you call, you typically talk to an owner or someone with direct and immediate access to the owner. National companies can be more challenging and offer less attentive customer service.

\r\n\r\n

Avoid High-Priced Brokers

\r\n\r\n

As mentioned above, we recommend avoiding dumpster brokers and instead renting from a local company.

\r\n\r\n

Dumpster brokers often appear to be local haulers, but they are actually an out-of-state middleman.

\r\n\r\n

They take orders for dumpsters at increased prices (generally 10-20% higher than local prices) and then pass that order on to local haulers, keeping the difference in price for themselves.

\r\n\r\n

The unsuspecting homeowner or contractor is often unaware that they booked their dumpster with a high-priced middleman, not the actual service provider.

\r\n\r\n

It can be difficult for renters to know which companies are brokers and which companies are legitimately local, but here's a helpful hint: Brokers tend to have toll-free numbers.

\r\n\r\n

They also often falsely present themselves as \"budget\" or \"discount\" haulers.

\r\n\r\n

Some of the most common dumpster brokers in the U.S. include:

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We always recommend hiring a local dumpster service over dumpster brokers, but in some areas, local haulers aren't easily accessible.

\r\n\r\n

This may be because they are a one- or two-man company that is operating at maximum capacity and don't have a dedicated staff to answer phones.

\r\n\r\n

A reputable broker can be a good bridge to these companies.

Be Prepared When Contacting Companies

\r\n\r\n

Because so many factors affect your actual dumpster price, it’s usually necessary to compare rates by contacting haulers directly for quotes. 

\r\n\r\n

Speaking with companies also allows you to directly confirm the company’s availability to deliver your size on your date (availability is not a given, many companies have full schedules). Talking directly to the company can also give some insight into the level of service you can expect to receive.

\r\n\r\n

Here are some examples of the questions dumpster rental companies will ask you:

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here are questions you should ask dumpster rental companies before renting:

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Many local dumpster services need your location and the type of debris you're putting in the dumpster to provide you with an accurate price quote. This is because the cost to dispose of items at the landfill can change based on the type and weight of your debris.

\r\n\r\n

Similarly, travel time and fuel costs for delivery and pick-up affect cost, too. Some cities and towns may also charge for permits that your dumpster rental company should pull for you.

\r\n\r\n

Compare Quotes from Local Dumpster Rental Companies

\r\n\r\n

We advise getting a quote from at least 2-3 companies in your hometown to make sure you get a fair deal.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

We do not recommend immediately booking with the cheapest company. Consider total costs, company reputation, and customer service when considering who to hire. 

\r\n
\r\n\r\n

When you rent a roll-off dumpster, a specific amount of weight is generally included in your price (e.g. up to 3 tons/6,000 lbs). This is the weight of your debris only. (Don't worry about the weight of the container itself.) If you go over the included weight, you will be charged a fee for that extra weight. Dumpster weight overage charges are assessed only after your debris is weighed at the landfill, and some renters are surprised to receive an additional charge after the fact.

\r\n\r\n

If your debris weighs more than the amount of weight included in your quote, you will receive an additional charge for the extra weight. The weight of debris varies a great deal.

\r\n\r\n

For example, household junk typically weighs in fairly light at 1 to 2 tons, while roof shingles, concrete, dirt, and construction debris are much heavier. The fees to dump at landfills in your area are the single largest factor impacting the cost to rent a dumpster because the dumpster service pays the landfill for the weight of your debris. So, if landfill fees are $60 per ton in your area and your debris weighs 4 tons, the dumpster service will pay the landfill $240 ($60 x 4) for your debris. This is an unavoidable cost that gets passed on directly to you, and the cost to dump and process waste varies widely by region.

\r\n\r\n

In the U.S., landfill disposal fees range from $60-$100 per ton (1 ton = 2,000 lbs). If you live in a region with high landfill fees (Northeast, West Coast, and many places in between), your cost to rent a dumpster will be higher regardless of which disposal service you use.

\r\n\r\n

Let's consider an example...

\r\n\r\n

If Company A offers a 10 yard dumpster for $250 with 1 ton of weight included (2,000 lbs) and $50 for every ton over that included weight, and Company B offers a 10 yard dumpster for $275 with 2 tons of weight included (4,000 lbs) and $50 per ton over included weight.

\r\n\r\n

So, which of these companies offers the best price? It depends on the weight of your debris.

\r\n\r\n

If you're disposing of a small amount of relatively light household junk and you're confident it will weigh in at the landfill at 1 ton or less, Company A would be the cheapest option at $250.

\r\n\r\n

However, if you're disposing of heavier construction debris and it ends up weighing in at 3 tons, your final cost with Company A would be $350 ($250 + [$50 x 2 tons over weight]).

\r\n\r\n

The final price for Company B in the same situation would be $325 ($275 + [$50 x 1 ton over weight]).

Make Sure You Rent a Big Enough Dumpster

\r\n\"bricks\r\n

The cost of renting a dumpster increases with the size of the roll-off container, so while it may seem smart to get the smallest dumpster you need, this isn't always the case. Estimating the volume of your junk or construction debris is notoriously difficult and many underestimate what they have.

\r\n\r\n

If you rent a dumpster that ends up being too small, you will have to pay double to rent the dumpster twice, so beware of skimping on the size to save a buck because it may backfire. We recommend sizing up unless you are confident the smaller dumpster has enough capacity.

\r\n\r\n

On average, the cost difference between a 10 yard and 20 yard dumpster is less than $80. If the 10 yard dumpster turns out to be too small for your project, then you'll have to pay for another dumpster, which could be $300 or more depending on where you live. This is why larger dumpsters are typically the safest choice.

\r\n\r\n

Donate or Sell First

\r\n\r\n

f you're able to, we recommend selling any usable items you want to get rid of on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, or donating them to local charities, rather than just throwing them out. Not only are these options better for the environment, but they can save you money, too.

\r\n\r\n

Eliminating bulk and weight that would otherwise be going into your dumpster means you may be able to rent a smaller dumpster or pay less for weight.

Share Your Dumpster With a Neighbor

\r\n\r\n

Let your neighbors know you’re planning on renting a dumpster and see if they’d be interested in sharing the dumpster and the cost.

\r\n\r\n

Everyone has junk lying around the house that they've been meaning to get rid of. If they have just one or two items, like a couple pieces of furniture, they could pay $50 of your $250 rental. Or, if they've got a little bit more to get rid of, you could split it down the middle. Either way, you save on costs and your neighbor reaps the benefits too.

Frequently Asked Dumpster Rental Questions

\r\n\r\n

How do I know what size dumpster to rent?

\r\n\r\n

The best way to know which dumpster size is best for your project is to speak directly to dumpster rental companies. As professionals, they have extensive knowledge and experience dealing with all kinds of junk and debris. They know which dumpster size is best for all types of projects and can help advise you on which dumpster size to choose. Typically, the best practice is to go with the larger dumpster option when there's a chance you could need it, as the price difference is usually negligible.

\r\n\r\n

What can't go in a dumpster?

\r\n\r\n

Local landfills have restrictions on what they allow to be dumped at their site, and dumpster rental companies need to abide by these rules too. Restricted items may vary from one place to the next, but the most common prohibited items include: batteries, paint, adhesives, refrigerants, flammables, cleaning agents, and anything considered \"hazardous.\"

\r\n\r\n

What's the smallest dumpster you can rent?

\r\n\r\n

The smallest dumpster you can rent is typically a 2 yard dumpster. The most common measurements for these containers is 6 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet high. The weight limit for 2 yard containers average 400-500 lbs. 2 yard dumpsters are best for the smallest cleanup projects that only produce a small pile of junk.

How can I estimate the volume of junk or debris I have?

\r\n\r\n

It’s difficult to estimate the amount of junk or debris you’ll have for a particular project, such as a roofing job or household cleanout. Your best source of information in this case is your dumpster rental company. They have experience in dealing with a wide variety and quantities of waste and debris. They can help you choose the ideal container size with relatively precise accuracy. If you choose to estimate the amount of debris yourself, you can measure it and convert it to cubic yards. One cubic yard is equal to a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft pile of debris. That’s about the volume of a standard kitchen stove. Estimating the weight of a load is extremely difficult, and so it’s best to consult your dumpster provider to determine if your load is likely under the weight allowance for a particular container size.

\r\n\r\n

How many days is a dumpster rental period?

\r\n\r\n

One week is a standard rental period, although it’s not uncommon to find some dumpster rental companies offering 14-day rentals included in the price. Some may even charge a daily fee for rental, which could end up being a better deal in cases where you only need the container on site for a day or two. If you need a dumpster for longer than the rental period, you can request it for longer and pay a “late fee” of typically $5 or $10 per day. Many rental companies cap the maximum length of the rental due to inventory issues. To have a debris box picked up prior to the end of the rental period, simply call the company and request a pick-up.
