Cleaning out the junk and clutter from your home isn't something that has to be saved for the spring; any time is a good time to regain control and refresh your living space.
\r\n\r\nThe idea of cleaning out out a home or property top to bottom can be overwhelming to even think about, let alone follow through with. That's why we've put together this complete home cleanout checklist to help you organize an easy-to-follow strategy for guaranteed results. Our home cleanout guide will break down every part of the home and the most efficient methods to ensure a successful home cleanout.
\r\n\r\n![\"Complete](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/home-cleanout-checklist-infographic_1.jpg\")
\r\nThe first thing you should do when tackling a whole home cleanout is to map out a plan of attack.
\r\n\r\nFirst determine what your goal for this cleanout is. Are you in charge of an estate or eviction cleanout and need to get rid of every single item throughout the entire house? Are you preparing to move and want to get rid of as much as possible before packing up your belongings? Has it been years since you've gone through your home and decluttered items you rarely use? Knowing what your goal is and the type/amount of items you'd like to get rid of will help you plan for how you'll dispose of these items.
\r\n\r\nThe next thing you should do is create a schedule. Do you have a deadline that this project needs to be done by, or can you take your time and work on it whenever is convenient? Are you someone who likes to dedicate a whole week/weekend to see a project to its completion, or do you like to work in sections and tackle one area at a time with breaks in between? Having a rough idea of what you want your project schedule to look like will help you create a plan, which is critical for a successful home cleanout. If you have a hard time deciding where to start, create a map of your home and label each room with a rating of 1-5: 1 being the easiest to clean and 5 being the most difficult to clean.
\r\n\r\nBasements and attics used for storage of things that have piled up over the years are great contenders for a 5 rating, while smaller rooms that are used and organized often, like bathrooms, will be easier to clean out and can get a lower rating of 1. Create a list and order your rooms based on their difficulty level to help you decide which rooms to start with and which rooms to end with. You can either decide to tackle the most difficult rooms first and save the easy rooms for last, or vice versa. Whatever you find most motivating is the path you should take.
\r\n\r\nBefore you get started, you'll want to have a way to dispose of or organize the items you're removing. Do you plan on throwing everything away? Will you be donating or trying to sell some valuable or gently used items? Unless you plan on throwing everything out, you'll want to make sure you have boxes or bags to organize your items that can be donated or sold so that they aren't mistakenly mixed in with all the junk you plan on trashing.
\r\n\r\nUnorganized kitchen tools, expired pantry items, mismatched or chipped dishes, and messy cabinets can make a kitchen look and feel like a stressful, cluttered mess. Even the dirtiest kitchen cleanout can be completed with minimal stress and relative ease if a plan is established before you begin. The first thing you should do is determine what you want to get rid of. Are you getting rid of everything in the kitchen, or just the junk you no longer use? Maybe you're moving and you want to keep the basics and get rid of all the food. Whatever your goal is, establish it before diving in.
\r\n\r\nIf you're handling an estate cleanout, eviction, or are moving out, start by going through all cabinets and drawers and create three separate piles: one pile of items to keep, one to donate, and one to throw away. If you aren't moving and are just doing a basic kitchen cleanout, you can keep the items you're not getting rid of in the drawers and cabinets for now, but remove any items that can be donated, sold, or thrown away and place them into respective piles.
\r\n\r\nIf you need to get rid of one or more kitchen appliances, consider hiring a junk removal company to do the heavy lifting for you. In addition to appliances, they can also remove your bags or boxes of unwanted items throughout the house, allowing you to get rid of all your junk in one fell swoop. One step further, junk removal companies can even help with the aftermath of a kitchen remodel and any interior demolition that happens as a result. They can haul away any debris you have in addition to any appliances and furniture you need hauled away as well. Find local interior demolition contractors to help with your kitchen remodel by searching on Hometown Demolition.
\r\n\r\nOnce you've removed all the items you no longer want to keep, it's time to clean and organize the remaining items. If the kitchen is completely cleared of all items, cleaning should be generally straight forward, and we recommend working from top to bottom.
\r\n\r\nStart by dusting any fans or light fixtures and cabinets anchored on the top half of the kitchen. Then, clean bottom cabinets, drawers, or other storage areas. For your drawers and cabinets with food and items still in them, and the refrigerator, remove the items to clean the area they're stored in, and then be sure to place them back in their respective \"home\" in a neat and orderly fashion.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, you can clean the insides of your kitchen appliances, like microwaves, refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers if necessary. Once all the interiors of your kitchen have been cleaned, clean all the remaining surfaces in your kitchen, like the countertops, outsides of your appliances, and the floors.
\r\n\r\nIf you're taking breaks between the different areas of your home, you should find a disposal solution for your piles of garbage and junk right away so that you aren't living amongst the piles. Items that can be donated can be dropped off at Goodwill or The Salvation Army during business hours. Garbage can be placed in your trash bin, unless there is a very large amount of items to throw out. If it won't all fit in your garbage bin, you should consider renting a dumpster and tackling the rest of your home as soon as possible. Dumpster rentals are an affordable and efficient way to manage a home cleanout project and can take the stress out of figuring out the disposal aspect of your project.
\r\n\r\nCleaning out your living room can be handled in the same way that a kitchen cleanout is approached, but it will likely take you less time. Living rooms aren't typically rooms we use for storage and instead tend to be a less cluttered living space in comparison to kitchens, basements, and bedrooms. That said, if you have a large, old entertainment center with hundreds of DVDs, games, or other items, you'll certainly want to take the time to go through and organize these items and get rid of things that are no longer used.
\r\n\r\nOld furniture or technology can sometimes be sold, donated, or given away for free, but may need to be hauled away to a landfill if they are too worn to be salvaged. In this case, a dumpster rental or junk removal company is your best solution. Even if you have a truck that can haul it to the landfill yourself, you'll likely need to make several trips by the time you're done cleaning out your entire home. Some cities allow you to place large furniture items at the end of your driveway for pickup, but you have to pay for this service ahead of time and make arrangements with your trash pickup provider to avoid being fined.

\r\n\r\nAs with every other room in your home, the first step to cleaning out a bedroom is to determine what your goals are and what needs to go. If it's been a while since you've cleaned out your bedroom (or your children's), there may be items stored in the back of closets or dressers from years ago. A good place to start in a bedroom is the closets. Not only are the closets where most of our clutter and unused items are stored, but once your closet is emptied and reorganized, you'll likely find that you have space to store the items that were previously shoved underneath the bed or scattered on top of dressers.
\r\n\r\nIf you store all of your clothes in your bedroom, consider separating your wardrobe based on seasons. If it's currently a warmer season and you have winter coats, jackets, and shoes taking up valuable space in your closet, consider boxing up your winter wardrobe and storing it elsewhere to make your closet more manageable and functional. Doing this will automatically require that you go through your closet twice a year to swap out your wardrobe, conveniently making it a bi-annual habit of sorting through your bedroom storage and helping you keep your closet under control.
\r\n\r\nWhen you're struggling with deciding what to keep and what to get rid of, consider when the last time it was that you used or wore the item in question. If it's been 6+ months, it's probably safe to donate or throw away.
\r\n\r\nBathrooms should be relatively easy to clean out as they tend to be smaller and the storage in bathrooms tends to be for items that we use regularly, if not daily. Take the same approach as you did with your kitchen cleanout and start with the top of the bathroom and work your way down to lower cabinets, drawers, and storage areas.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you're someone who enjoys accumulating cosmetics and has a hard time getting rid of these items and storage of these items has now become an issue, you should start your bathroom cleanout with these items.
\r\n
Many cosmetics have expiration dates, so be sure to check for dates on your makeup. Most makeup products shouldn't be kept for longer than 6-12 months. Keep in mind that toiletries or cosmetics of any kind should never be donated unless they are completely unused and unopened, so if you have half-used products that you'd like to get rid of, be sure to throw away the product and recycle the containers when possible.
\r\n\r\nFor the average homeowner, the attic is the least visited part of their house, making it an ideal breeding ground for dust or an undiagnosed mold or vermin infestation. This is why you should wear protective gear when sorting through your piled up boxes in the attic. An attic cleanout, more than any other space in the house, should be an area that you tackle with a partner. There are risks associated with climbing up and down attic stairs or a ladder, combined with the poor ventilation and heat risks of working in an attic.
\r\n\r\nWhen cleaning out an attic, the best strategy and is to start by either removing all items or moving all items to one end of the space so that you can go in and do some deep cleaning before working in the area. Sweep, dust, and vacuum the attic top to bottom before sorting through everything that is stored in there.
\r\n\r\nEven if you only use your attic for storage and don't plan on getting rid of anything, it's still important to periodically go through the items that are kept in there to ensure that there is no water or pest damage to the items you're storing in there. It's common for people to store family heirlooms or photographs in their basement or attic, and since these items are sentimental, you want to check on them often to ensure they're still in good shape.
\r\n\r\nIf you're removing everything from the attic, consider hiring a professional junk removal company to eliminate the risk of injury. Navigating ladders or attic stairs can be dangerous on its own, let alone with the added obstacle of removing and hauling boxes and other heavy items. Hiring a junk removal crew to clear our your attic will cut down the time it takes you to complete your project significantly.
\r\n\r\nCleaning out your basement will follow the same strategy as all other rooms: establishing a plan, sorting through the area in sections, and separating items into piles to keep, donate, and trash. Working on a large area, like a basement, in sections will help you stay on track and will make it less likely for you to get overwhelmed throughout the process.
\r\n\r\nIf your basement is unfinished, dusty, and full of cobwebs, we recommend taking the same approach as you would for an attic cleanout by being prepared with protective gear like gloves, boots, and masks for protection. If you have to remove everything and haul it up one or more flights of stairs, consider hiring a junk removal crew, or at the very least, recruiting help of your own. If you want to avoid handling this dirty job altogether, basement cleanout companies can assist you.
\r\n\r\nWhen reorganizing your belongings, keep like items together for easy access. For example, keep holiday decorations in one central location, family keepsakes in another, etc.
\r\n\r\nRead on:
\r\n\r\n![\"Messy](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/messy-garage.jpg\")
\r\nWhile accessing a garage typically doesn't require walking up and down flights of stairs, a similar approach should be taken to a garage cleanout as you would a basement cleanout. Garages can be a host for bugs and other pests and should be sorted through carefully. It's also common for garages to store different types of flammable or otherwise dangerous chemicals, like gasoline, fertilizers, oil, lighter fluid, paint, and other car fluids. It's also not uncommon for sharp or rusty metal to be found in garages, like nails, tools, and other metal surfaces.
\r\n\r\nUse caution and protection when sorting through your garage, but utilize the same strategies that you use throughout the rest of your home but removing items you no longer want or need, and then cleaning and organizing the remaining items, being sure to keep like items in the same area. You can organize your garage to have a section for lawn care items, an area for tools and equipment, and area for car items, and an area for toys and other leisure activities. If you want to avoid handling your dirty garage cleanout, garage cleanout services are a great option.
\r\n\r\nA well-landscaped home can be worth 5.5-13% or more than a comparable home without landscaping, so when you take on a full home cleanout, don't overlook your yard. The first step to cleaning up your yard is to have a disposal plan in place. Most yard waste like grass clippings, twigs, and weeds can be composted. If you don't have a place to compost your yard waste and have a lot of it, consider renting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal company to haul away your collected yard waste for you.
\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to cleaning up your yard, start by collecting and bagging any litter that has blown into your yard. If you have lawn equipment, furniture, or toys, put them in their proper place. Next, you can scan the yard for any twigs, sticks, and branches and either bag them up or place them in a bucket that you can later use as kindling later. While you're scanning the yard for sticks, also keep your eyes peeled for any rocks or stones that are large enough to disrupt the mowing process.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, you should start weeding, either by hand or with the aid of a weed killer if the issue is widespread across your yard. Once the yard is cleaned up, spruce up your shrubs, bushes, and trees by trimming them when needed and giving them a nice shape. After all aspects of your yard have been manicured, top it off by mowing your yard and then using a leaf blower to clear off the driveway, sidewalk, and patio from any debris.
\r\n\r\nProfessional yard waste removal services are a great resource for people who would like assistance with the entire yard cleanup or simply a pile of yard waste debris. Although, in some cases, a yard waste dumpster rental that is loaded strictly with yard waste and no other junk is another great option if you don't mind loading the debris yourself and saving money to do so.

\r\n\r\nThere are two options to consider when cleaning out a house: renting a dumpster and hiring a junk removal service If you're someone who wants to clean out their home but you struggle to find the time or motivation to get it done, hiring a professional house cleanout company to assist you could be the perfect solution. If you're someone that likes to cut costs, then a temporary dumpster rental may be the option you prefer.
\r\n\r\nIf you plan on going the DIY route rather than hiring a full-service junk removal company, hauling it all to the landfill yourself may not be a feasible or desirable option, let alone the most cost- and time-effective. Renting a dumpster is arguably the best way to manage all the garbage your home cleanout will produce. This is especially true when you know you'll need to get rid of large or bulky items like old appliances, electronics, light fixtures, furniture, etc.
\r\n\r\nThe convenience of having a dumpster on hand compared to having to haul individual truckloads to your local landfill yourself will have a significant impact on the time it takes you to complete your home cleanout project. For perspective, a 20 yard dumpster holds around 10-12 pickup truck loads' worth of items, not to mention you won't have to wait in line for potentially hours for your chance at damaging your vehicle or popping a tire at the landfill.
\r\n\r\nIf you'd rather have more help, junk removal services are the way to go. Experienced junk removal companies that offer home cleanout services have the ability to empty out a large home full of unwanted items, donate salvageable items to local charities, recycle items that are accepted in recycling projects, and dispose of the rest - all in a time-efficient manner.
\r\n\r\nJunk removal companies have the equipment and manpower to remove heavy items up and down flights of stairs and make it easy to get rid of all your unwanted junk so you can focus on cleaning and reorganizing the items you plan on keeping.
\r\n\r\nRegardless of which service you decide will work best for your project, you'll likely get the best price and the best service by working with a locally-owned and operated company. Hometown makes it easy to find local junk removal and dumpster rental companies that service your zip code. You can fill out our single quote request form to send to up to 3 local service providers in your area so that you can receive multiple quotes to compare pricing, availability, and customer service.

\r\n\r\nThe late-fall and winter months are generally a slower time of year for dumpster rental companies. This is particularly true in northern parts of the country when the weather makes it more difficult to complete major projects.
\r\n\r\nAreas of the country with moderate climates year-round don’t always have these annual slow downs, although this may vary by city and geographic location.
\r\n\r\nWe'll discuss why, depending on where you live, renting a dumpster in the winter months may be a great way to make the most of your project.
\r\n\r\n![\"Benefits](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/benefits-renting-dumpster-winter-info_0.jpg\")
\r\nThere are several key benefits to renting a dumpster for a project during the off-season:
\r\n\r\nWith more time spent indoors, winter is a great time to tackle renovation or remodeling projects. Other indoor projects include: basement/attic cleanouts, painting, installing new flooring, replacing appliances or furniture, and other interior adjustments to make your living arrangements more comfortable and customized to your lifestyle.
\r\n\r\nIf the weather is poor outside, you can still get things done inside! But you'll need a large, reliable disposal solution on-hand to take care of any debris or junk you'll have to throw out as a result. That's why renting a dumpster is the perfect solution for DIY cleanouts, moving homes or offices, renovation projects, and more.
\r\n\r\nPlan out the project well in advance in order to ensure its success. Proper planning reduces the risk of delays with the project itself and with the cleanup.
\r\n\r\nWe suggest calling several dumpster rental companies for quotes at least a week in advance of when you'd like to begin your project to ensure you find a reputable service provider with the availability you need.
\r\n\r\nWhen contacting different service providers, we recommend that you get in touch with at least 2-3 different companies for quotes. This not only ensures you'll secure services when you need them, but it'll also allow you to get a good feel for the level of customer service you'll receive, compare costs, and ultimately choose the best team for your project.
\r\n\r\nHometown makes it easy to request multiple quotes to dumpster rental companies that service your area. When you fill out our single quote request form, you can send your project info to multiple companies at once, eliminating the need to fill out separate contact forms for each company you get in touch with.
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\nWeather can influence delivery of a dumpster or influence a junk removal pickup. This can be tough to avoid, although it’s a good idea to not schedule a dumpster drop off when a blizzard or ice storm is in the forecast near or on the projected service date. Your best bet is to keep in touch with your waste hauler prior to the service day to know in advance if the weather is likely to cause any delays.
\r\n\r\nAlso, be sure to prep the site for dumpster delivery by ensuring there is access to the area you'd like your dumpster placed. This may include moving other vehicles out of the driveway, shoveling deep snow, clearing the drop-off site of debris, etc. Keep the area around the dumpster salted during snowy and icy conditions to ensure your safety.
\r\n\r\nFinally, cover the dumpster with a tarp during heavy snow and rain storms to minimize the risk of exceeding your dumpster weight allowance. Not doing so could add a significant amount of weight to the debris inside the dumpster and could wind up costing you in overage fees should you exceed the weight allowance.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n15 yard dumpsters can handle a variety of different projects, like small kitchen renovations, full bathroom renovations, shed demolition, and home cleanouts.
\r\n
This dumpster guide will go over all the details you need to know about 15 yard containers to make the most informed decision for your particular project.
\r\n\r\n![\"15](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/15-yard-dumpsters-infographic_0.png\")
\r\nWith a maximum capacity of 15 cubic yards, 15 yard dumpsters can hold between 7-8 pick-up truck loads' worth of debris.
\r\n\r\nThe dimensions of a 15 yard dumpster will vary from carrier to carrier, but the most common dimensions of a 15 yard container are:
\r\n\r\nWith an overall size similar to that of a van or minivan, placing a 15 yarder in a residential driveway is generally not an issue.
\r\n\r\nLike most other roll-off containers, 15 yard roll-off dumpsters feature a swinging back door(s) so that you can walk in heavy or bulky items with ease, and their open top makes throwing trash and debris over the side walls a non-issue.
\r\n\r\n15 yard trailer dumpsters are also a popular option and are perfect for those who need to adjust the placement of their dumpster throug hout the duration of their rental or are worried about driveway damage. Trailer dumpsters sit on rubber wheels, making them driveway-safe and easily maneuvered. If you need to have your rental placed in a tight space and are worried about size, be sure to ask the different companies you speak with what the dimensions are of their particular containers to ensure a suitable fit.
\r\n\r\nAll dumpsters have weight limits that renters must abide by in order to avoid overage fees. Weight limits are set in place for many reasons, including the safety of the dump truck and driver, abiding by local road restrictions, and ensuring that the company's profit margins aren't eroded.
\r\n\r\nEvery company will have their own specific set of terms for their rentals, but on average, most 15 yard dumpster rentals have a weight limit between 2-3 tons, or 4,000-6,000 pounds.
\r\n\r\nGoing over your weight limit will result in additional fees best cast scenario, or having to rent a second dumpster worst case scenario. Overage fees are typically somewhere in the $75-$100 range per ton over the limit, while having to rent a second dumpster will double your costs immediately.
\r\n\r\nIf you're worried about going over your weight limit, speak with the rental company to discuss in detail the type and amount of trash/debris you need to dispose of so that they can help you choose the right size dumpster for your disposal project.
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\nIn some cases, a 15 yard dumpster can hold more than its weight limit.
\r\n\r\nFor example, filling a 15 yard dumpster with household junk only weighs 0.75 to 1.9 tons on average, making a 15 yard container perfect for decluttering projects or pre-move cleanouts.
\r\n\r\nIf you're tackling a remodel or tear-out, construction and demolition debris like wood, drywall, and plaster can weigh 1.9 to 7.5 tons when the dumpster is full. Roofing jobs fall somewhere in between, with asphalt shingles averaging 4.5 to 5.25 tons per full load.
\r\n\r\nAlways check with your dumpster provider for exact weight limits to avoid overage fees. You may want to rent a larger dumpster with a bigger weight limit.
\r\n\r\nAs mentioned, it's important to make sure you not only rent a dumpster that's big enough for the debris you're tossing, but also has a large enough weight limit.
\r\n\r\nBelow is an example of how much a 15 yard dumpster full of a specific type of debris will weigh. Remember: These are averages only. The exact weight of your full 15 yard dumpster may be more or less than the average weights listed here.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
| Debris Type Inside Dumpster | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Weight | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|
| Household junk | \r\n\t\t\t0.75 - 1.9 tons | \r\n\t\t
| Construction and demolition debris | \r\n\t\t\t1.9 - 7.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| Roofing shingles | \r\n\t\t\t4.5 - 5.25 tons | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
The nationwide average cost to rent a 15 yard dumpster is around $300-$500. That being said, your 15 yard dumpster rental could cost more or less depending on a number of factors, like:
\r\n\r\nThe weight capacity of the dumpster and weight of your debris will be the biggest factor in determining how much you will pay for your dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\nRental duration will have less of an impact, but could still influence the cost of your rental if you only need the dumpster for 1-2 days versus 1-2 weeks. If you're in a large city with a high cost of living and high landfill fees, you'll pay a lot more than if you were to rent in a less populated suburb with a lower cost of living.
\r\n\r\nThe company you rent the dumpster from is also an important factor that will affect the overall price you pay. Every service provider has different overhead costs, different profit margins to meet, and therefor the cost for the same size container from one company to the next can vary quite a bit.
\r\n\r\nThe best way to find out what a competitive price is for a 15 yard dumpster is to get several quotes from companies near you.
\r\n\r\n15 yard dumpsters are a great size container for a wide range of small to medium cleanups, including:
\r\n\r\nGetting the best service at the best price is easier when you get multiple quotes from providers in your area. By getting multiple estimates, you'll be able to compare weight limits, pricing, customer service, dumpster types, rental durations, and availability.
\r\n\r\nIt's important when speaking with different rental companies to ask important questions beyond their pricing, like:
\r\n\r\nRenting from smaller local providers tends to be the best way to get the best price for a dumpster rental. Locally-owned and operated dumpster companies tend to have lower overhead costs than large national chains and are able to provide better savings and a more personable customer service experience. Finding local dumpster companies is fast and easy with Hometown.

When it comes to yard waste, there are different options available to help make the best use of your time and money.
\r\n\r\nWhen you only have a couple bags worth of yard waste, your regular waste management company will have specific days, weight limits, and bags required that will allow you to set them at your curb for trash pickup. It's when you have a large amount of yard waste to get rid of that other options will need to be explored.
\r\n\r\nIn this article, we'll discuss the most popular ways to get rid of large amounts of yard waste and their average costs.
\r\n\r\n![\"How](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/yard-waste-removal-cost-info_1.jpg\")
\r\nThe majority of junk removal services offer basic yard waste pick-up. The process of hiring a junk removal company is straight-forward and simple.
\r\n\r\nThe first thing you should do is get quotes from multiple companies in your area. Hometown makes it easy with our single quote request form. All you have to do is answer a few short questions about your yard waste removal needs and then you'll be given up to 3 quotes from local junk removal services, all free of charge. Some companies may require that they send someone to your property to assess your yard waste and provide an on-site estimate for the most accurate quote possible.
\r\n\r\nOne you agree to a price, you hire the junk removal company. If they're already there providing a quote, they'll typically get to work loading your yard waste right away. After all of your yard waste is loaded onto their truck, they'll provide you with an invoice that you can either pay on the spot or call into their office to pay over the phone.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, the junk removal company will haul your yard waste to the appropriate facility. Most yard waste, like branches, leaves, grass, twigs, brush, and downed trees are approved for recycling, so they'll be taken to a recycling company for the most eco-friendly disposal.
\r\n\r\nThe price that a junk removal company will charge to haul away your yard waste will depend primarily on how much yard waste you have to get rid of, how much space your yard waste takes up in their truck or trailer, the type/weight of your yard waste, where you're located, and who you hire.
\r\n\r\nWith that being said, the average cost for a small pile of yard waste ranges between $100-$200, but can cost as much as $600-$1,000 for a full truckload's worth of yard waste.

\r\n\r\nRenting a dumpster to clean up large landscaping projects is convenient, fast, and a great value. It's perfect for projects like tree limb removal, brush removal, removing large amounts of dirt, and more.
\r\n\r\nIt's important to note, however, that yard waste is prohibited from being dumped in landfills. So, in order for the dumpster company to legally and responsibly dispose of it, it must be kept separate from other household or commercial waste. The bottom line is that if you rent a dumpster to dispose of yard waste, you can only add yard waste.
\r\n\r\nThe most popular container types available for temporary rent are roll-off dumpsters and trailer dumpsters. Roll-off containers have a side swinging door that makes loading heavy items, like tree stumps, easy. Trailer dumpsters sit on rubber wheels for easy transporting if you have to drive around a large property for your yard cleanup. Both options feature an open top so that you can quickly toss your yard waste over the side walls. If there is a chance of rain or severe weather while you have your dumpster rental, be sure to cover their open tops with a tarp or have it placed in a covered overhang or garage.
\r\n\r\nDumpster rentals come in all different sizes, but the most popular sizes for yard waste disposal are 10-20 yard dumpsters. The average cost for a weeklong 10 yard dumpster is $250-$450, while 20 yard dumpsters tend to run around $350-$550 for a weeklong rental.
\r\n\r\nYour local costs could be more or less than these nationwide averages and will vary based on a number of different factors, like the type and weight of your yard waste, the size of your dumpster rental, how long you rent the dumpster for, cost of yard waste recycling near you, cost of living near you, and who you hire.

\r\n\r\nIf you have a pickup truck, trailer, or other vehicle suitable for hauling, you could opt to haul your yard waste to a yard waste recycling facility yourself, but this is usually only more cost and time-efficient for a small amount of yard waste, like a single truck load's worth.
\r\n\r\nAn example of what DIY yard waste hauling can cost is broken down below.
\r\n\r\nHaving to make multiple trips to dispose of your yard waste yourself not only costs you in gas and dumping fees, but it can also be very time consuming. Loading your vehicle, driving to and from the yard waste facility, unloading your yard waste and paying for each transaction, and the amount of time you'll take cleaning out your vehicle afterwards could easily consume a full work day or more.

\r\n\r\nChoosing 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\nIn this guide, we'll go over the main factors to consider when picking the best size commercial dumpster for your business.
\r\n\r\n![\"Choosing](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/commercial-dumpster-info_0.jpg\")
\r\nThere are many different dumpster sizes available for long-term use for all different types of businesses.
\r\n\r\nBecause the disposal needs of businesses can vary a great deal, commercial dumpsters come in a range of sizes. The most common commercial dumpster sizes include 2, 4, 6, and 8 cubic yard containers, but some dumpster rental companies offer even larger sizes.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
| Commercial Dumpster Sizes | \r\n\t\t\tCommon Dimensions | \r\n\t\t\tAverage # of Trash Bags That Will Fit | \r\n\t\t\tBest for These Businesses | \r\n\t\t
| 2 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t6 ft L x 3 ft W x 3 ft H | \r\n\t\t\t10-20 | \r\n\t\t\tSmall retail shops | \r\n\t\t
| 4 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t6 ft L x 3 ft W x 4 ft H | \r\n\t\t\t20-30 | \r\n\t\t\tGas stations | \r\n\t\t
| 6 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t6 ft L x 5 ft W x 6 ft H | \r\n\t\t\t30-40 | \r\n\t\t\tRestaurants | \r\n\t\t
| 8 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t6 ft L x 6 ft W x 7 ft H | \r\n\t\t\t40-50 | \r\n\t\t\tApartment complexes | \r\n\t\t
Dumpster dimensions and total loading capacity may vary.
\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\nIf 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.
\r\n\r\nThe 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\nAs 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\nWith 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:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
| Commercial Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Monthly Cost | \r\n\t\t
| 2 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$100-$125 | \r\n\t\t
| 4 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$120-$145 | \r\n\t\t
| 6 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$135-$160 | \r\n\t\t
| 8 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$175-$200 | \r\n\t\t
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\nGetting multiple commercial dumpster quotes is easy with Hometown. 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. Getting multiple quotes not only allows you to shop around for the best price, but it helps you compare service agreements and customer service which are equally as important.
\r\n\r\nThe 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\nEstimating 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\nEstimating 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\nYou 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\nCalculate 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\nIt'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\nFor 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\nIf 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\nDumpster 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.

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\nRenting 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.

\r\n\r\nDumpsters 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\nBefore 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\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\nTrailer 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\nDumpster 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\nConstruction 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\nCommercial 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\nFor 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\nDumpster 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\nSmall 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\nLarger 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\nNationally 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\nLocal 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\nYou 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\nThe 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\nEach 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\nOverloading 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\nWhere 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\nThe 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\nMost 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.

Dumpster sizes range from as small as 2 yards to as big as 40 yards, and the cost to rent them varies quite a bit. Here's a look at the average cost of a roll off dumpster for a weekly rental...
\r\n\r\nDumpsters that fall in the 2 yard to 8 yard capacity range typically cost $75-$300 per week. These dumpster sizes are perfect for small cleanups and business waste management.
\r\n\r\n| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Price (per Week) | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|
| 2 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t$75-$125 | \r\n\t\t
| 4 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t$120-$200 | \r\n\t\t
| 6 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t$135-$275 | \r\n\t\t
| 8 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t$175-$300 | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
10 yard, 15 yard, and 20 yard dumpsters usually cost between $250-$550 per week. These sizes are ideal for medium-sized cleanups, small renovations, and small amounts of heavy debris, like concrete or brick.
\r\n\r\n| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Price (per Week) | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|
| 10 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t$250-$450 | \r\n\t\t
| 15 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t$300-$500 | \r\n\t\t
| 20 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t$350-$550 | \r\n\t\t
The cost to rent a large dumpster, like a 30 or 40 yard container, ranges from $450-$750 per week. These dumpsters are a great choice for large renovations, whole-home cleanouts, and medium to large amounts of heavy debris.
\r\n\r\n| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Price (per Week) | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|
| 30 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t$450-$650 | \r\n\t\t
| 40 cubic yards | \r\n\t\t\t$550-$750 | \r\n\t\t
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\nEach 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\nSimilarly, 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\nAt 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\nBig, 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\nCompared to small and local disposal services, renting from big dumpster companies costs quite a bit more.
\r\n\r\nWe 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\nOn 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\nMany 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\nAs mentioned above, we recommend avoiding dumpster brokers and instead renting from a local company.
\r\n\r\nDumpster brokers often appear to be local haulers, but they are actually an out-of-state middleman.
\r\n\r\nThey 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\nThe 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\nIt 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\nThey also often falsely present themselves as \"budget\" or \"discount\" haulers.
\r\n\r\nSome of the most common dumpster brokers in the U.S. include:
\r\n\r\nWe always recommend hiring a local dumpster service over dumpster brokers, but in some areas, local haulers aren't easily accessible.
\r\n\r\nThis 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\nA reputable broker can be a good bridge to these companies.

\r\n\r\nBecause so many factors affect your actual dumpster price, it’s usually necessary to compare rates by contacting haulers directly for quotes.
\r\n\r\nSpeaking 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\nHere are some examples of the questions dumpster rental companies will ask you:
\r\n\r\nHere are questions you should ask dumpster rental companies before renting:
\r\n\r\nMany 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\nSimilarly, 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\nWe 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\r\n\r\nWe do not recommend immediately booking with the cheapest company. Consider total costs, company reputation, and customer service when considering who to hire.
\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\nIf 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\nFor 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\nIn 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\nLet's consider an example...
\r\n\r\nIf 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\nSo, which of these companies offers the best price? It depends on the weight of your debris.
\r\n\r\nIf 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\nHowever, 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\nThe final price for Company B in the same situation would be $325 ($275 + [$50 x 1 ton over weight]).

\r\nThe 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\nIf 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\nOn 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\nf 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\nEliminating 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.

\r\n\r\nLet 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\nEveryone 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.
\r\n\r\nThe 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\nLocal 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\nThe 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.
\r\n\r\nThe average cost to rent a dumpster in 2024 is $250-$550. Follow our insider tips to find the best price for roll off dumpster rental services.

The amount of included weight can range from 0 lbs to several tons. Some companies have a very low delivery price, but include 0 lbs of weight. That means you still need to pay for all the weight after the dumpster is weighed, typically at the landfill. Other dumpster companies may include 1 ton (2,000 lbs) to 8 tons (16,000 lbs) or more. The bigger the dumpster, generally the greater the weight allowance. Additional costs occur when your load goes over the allotted weight. Overage costs typically range between $35 per ton and $100 per ton. Weight fees are generally determined by the cost to dump at the landfill or recycling center. The dumpster service simply passes the cost on to the customer. 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.
