When does renting a dumpster make the most sense?

• You want the flexibility to load the container over time (A typical rental includes up to 7 days)
• You don't mind loading the junk or debris yourself to save a little money on labor
• You have more than 3 or 4 cubic yards of material (Roll-off containers typically start at 10 cubic yards, so if you only have 3 or 4 cubic yards of material, you're paying for more dumpster than you need)

How do dumpster rental and junk removal costs compare?

The cost of hiring a junk removal service or renting a dumpster varies based on several factors, including:

• location
• volume of junk/debris
• duration of service
• disposal fees
• who you hire

For large cleanups, junk removal services cost more than renting a dumpster because of the added labor costs involved. For smaller cleanups, like removing some furniture or a refrigerator, it would cost less to have someone remove it. If you rent a dumpster, you will likely be paying for more dumpster than you need.
