have to get rid of is actually a fairly straight-forward task.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Start by measuring the length, width, and height of your waste pile in feet. Convert inches into feet by diving the number of inches by 12.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If your pile is too large to comfortable use a tape measure, consider using a measuring wheel instead.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Estimate Volume</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Once you have these dimensions, multiple them all together (LxWxH).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Because 1 cubic yard equals 27 feet, you'll then take your total (LxWxH) and divide it by 27.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Convert inches to feet: 12 inches&nbsp;÷ 12 = 1 foot</li>\r\n\t<li>Multiply LxWxH: 9 x 3 x 1 = 27</li>\r\n\t<li>Divid answer y 27: 27&nbsp;÷ 27 = 1 cubic yard</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Cubic yardage can also easily be calculated by converting all three of your measured dimensions (of your pile of waste) into yards and multiplying them together.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is 3 feet in 1 yard, so take each measurement (length, width, and height) and divide it by 3 to convert your measurements to yards.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We'll take the sample measurements used above to explain:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>If your length is 9 ft: 9&nbsp;÷ 3 = 3 yards</li>\r\n\t<li>If your width is 3 ft: 3&nbsp;÷ 3 = 3 yards</li>\r\n\t<li>If your height is 1 ft: 1&nbsp;÷ 3 = 1/3 yard</li>\r\n\t<li>Take all 3 covered measurements and multiply them for your cubic yardage: 3 x 3 x 1/3 = 1 cubic yard</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>Dumpster Loading Capacities</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Now that you have an estimate of your waste's cubic yardage, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-choose-the-right-size-dumpster\" title=\"How to Choose the Right Size Dumpster\">choose a dumpster size</a> that best suites your disposal needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"content-box-yellow\"><strong>PRO TIP</strong>: If you're ever on the fence, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/why-large-dumpsters-sometimes-cost-less-than-small-dumpsters\" title=\"Why Large Dumpsters Sometimes Cost Less Than Small Dumpsters\">rent a dumpster sightly larger</a> than the size you estimate you'll need to avoid underestimating your load and incurring overage fees.

It also saves you the hassle of doing all the heavy lifting yourself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is what also makes junk removal a great option for those who are unable to lift or carry heavy items themselves.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Similarly, if you have furniture, appliances, or other items that you no longer want but are still usable, a junk removal company can donate or recycle your items on your behalf so they don't end up in a landfill.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>How Much It Costs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-haul-away-junk\" title=\"How Much Does It Cost to Haul Away Junk?\">average cost of junk removal services</a>&nbsp;is $200-$1,000.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As you can see, project costs can vary a great deal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Junk removal pricing is impacted by&nbsp;multiple factors, like:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Size of your project</strong>: The more items you need to remove, the longer it will take for the junk pros to complete the job and the more space your items will take in the truck or trailer.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Location</strong>:&nbsp;Your area's cost of living will affect recycling and disposal fees, gas prices, and the total price you pay for your junk removal project.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Accessibility</strong>: Having a pile of items in your driveway or by the curb for easy pick-up will typically cost less than it would to remove the same amount of items from a basement or attic, especially if the items are large or heavy.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Who you hire</strong>:&nbsp;Junk removal companies charge different prices for very similar services, so we recommend getting at least 2-3 quotes to ensure you hire the best company.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>If you only have a single piece of furniture to get rid of—like a mattress, treadmill, TV, or sofa—you will likely be charged the minimum amount, which averages $75-$100 depending on where you live.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Who to Hire</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Regardless of your junk removal project size, knowing what to look for in a junk removal service provider can help save you money and stress&nbsp;if you’ve never had to hire one before.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A qualified junk removal company is insured, has a good reputation, offers fair prices, and&nbsp;is available to complete the work when you need it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At

safe.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>They're also great for people who prefer to do the work themselves and save a little money.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>10 yard dumpsters typically have a 2-3 ton weight limit (2,000-4,000 lbs), so if your dumpster contents are likely to be heavier than this, you may need to <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/20-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"20 Yard Dumpster Guide:

the Best Choice?\">30 or 40 yard container</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/trailer-dumpster-sizes-weight-limits-costs\" title=\"Trailer Dumpster Sizes, Weight Limits, and Rental Costs\">Trailer dumpsters</a>&nbsp;come in a 10 yard size as well as a variety of other smaller sizes, making them great for maneuvering them into a small driveway or alleyway.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have a very small amount of items to get rid of, like a single treadmill, a couple appliances, or a small pile of junk, junk removal services may be the better option.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>How Much It Costs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The average cost to rent a 10 yard dumpster is $250-$350.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/7-factors-that-affect-the-cost-of-a-dumpster-rental\" title=\"7 Factors That Affect the Cost of a Dumpster Rental\">dumpster rental costs depend&nbsp;on a number of factors</a>, like:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Size of the dumpster</strong>: 10 yard dumpsters are typically the smallest dumpster size and therefore the cheapest.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Type and weight of debris</strong>: Heavy debris disposal typically costs more, especially if you go over you dumpster's weight limit.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Location</strong>: Your area's cost of living will affect landfill fees, gas prices, permit fees, and the total price you pay for your dumpster.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Rental period</strong>: Most dumpster rentals include 5-7 days. If you need your dumpster for longer, you can expect to pay an additional fee per day.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Who you rent from</strong>: Dumpster rental companies charge different prices for very similar services, so we recommend getting at least 2-3 quotes to ensure you rent from the best company.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>As previously mentioned, if you put a prohibited item in your dumpster, go over your dumpster's weight limit, or exceed your dumpster's rental period, the cost for your 10 yarder will go up.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Who to Rent From</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Knowing what to look for in a dumpster rental company and the services they provide&nbsp;can help save you money and stress&nbsp;if you’ve never had to hire one before.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just like with junk removal service providers, a&nbsp;qualified dumpster rental company should have the proper&nbsp;license and insurance, a good reputation, competitive prices, and&nbsp;the availability to deliver&nbsp;and pick up your dumpster when you need it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At Hometown, we specialize in helping people <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/\" title=\"Find Junk Removal and Dumpster Rental Companies Near Me\">find

src=\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/bag-style-dumpster.png\" />\r\n<h3>How It Works</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The most popular bag-style dumpster, Waste Management's \"Bagster,\" is available in most areas across the country.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To get started, you will first need to <a href=\"https://www.thebagster.com/products/collection_service.aspx\" title=\"WM Bagster Collection Service Area and Pricing\">make sure Bagster pick-up is available in your area</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If pick-up is available in your area, you can buy a Bagster&nbsp;from Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon, and other big box home improvement stores.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Next, open up and set up your dumpster in your driveway or where it can be picked up easily by Waste Management's truck.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We recommend avoiding setting up your Bagster on your grass if you can help it, as this can&nbsp;quickly put a dead patch in your lawn.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once your bag dumpster is set up, fill it up following the included instructions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you're done or your Bagster is full, <a href=\"https://www.thebagster.com/account/Login.aspx\" title=\"Schedule a Bagster Collection\">schedule pick-up with WM</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>When It's the Best Choice</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have a small amount of relatively lightweight junk that takes up three cubic yards or less, a dumpster bag is a great option.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, three yards is not much space, especially if you're loading bulky or oddly shaped items into it, and you may find that it's not enough to complete the entire disposal.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>How Much It Costs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The Bagster itself&nbsp;costs&nbsp;roughly $30, though this cost may vary slightly depending on where you live.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The upfront cost for a bag-style dumpster is low, but the pick-up/disposal fee is where the majority of the Bagster's cost comes into play.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bagster pick-up costs vary from $120-$350 depending on where you live, making the total cost to use a bag dumpster $150-$380 on average.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Where to Find Bag Dumpsters</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>As we previously mentioned, you can find Bagster bag dumpsters from&nbsp;Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon, and even some local hardware and home improvement stores.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Waste Management can help you <a
