3 Things To Consider When Renting a Dumpster

Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or landlord renting a dumpster for any type of project, there are several factors you’ll want to take into consideration before scheduling your rental. When doing any type of construction, home project, cleanout, etc., things can get hectic. One thing that you’ll want to ensure will go smoothly, is the dumpster rental process. Here are a few details you can figure out first to avoid any accidents, scheduling mishaps, size issues, and more.

Where Will You Put the Dumpster

Choosing the location of your dumpster will make a big difference in the whole flow of your project. You want to put it in a spot where it will be accessible, but not prohibit you from moving freely around the space. You’ll want to put it far enough from your home that you can still get in and out easily. It’s also important to avoid putting it anywhere with overhanging wires that may hinder the delivery and pick-up. If you want to put the dumpster in the street, the rules on this will vary from town to town. Contact your local government or city to determine if you’ll need a permit and if there are stipulations regarding how long you may keep it there. Taking all these factors into consideration will help you choose just the right spot for your dumpster.

What Size Do You Need

Before you begin, you’ll want to think about how much waster you’ll really be getting rid of. This is one of the most important factors to consider, as you don’t want to end up with a dumpster that is too small. Overfilling dumpsters is dangerous, and will also exceed weight limits. Consider all types of debris you’ll need to throw away, and talk with your dumpster rental company about which size will best suit your project.

What to Discuss When Getting a Quote

To get an accurate estimate, it’s best to call your dumpster company and discuss all elements of the rental. Factors such as how long you’ll need the dumpster, what size you’ll need, how much weight is included in the price, what materials are not allowed in the dumpster, are all important to know before scheduling your rental. They’ll be able to answer any outstanding questions you may have.
