Rent a 12 yard dumpster for residential projects or for heavy materials (if the dumpster company allows), such as concrete, dirt, roofing debris, or asphalt.
\r\n\r\n
We’ll cover the various aspects of 12 yard dumpsters, including dimensions, typical costs, types, and alternatives.
The footprint of a 12 yard dumpster is quite similar to that of a 10 yard dumpster but with the added benefit of about 20% more loading capacity.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
12 yard dumpsters are a great option for residential use or when space is limited.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
There is no standard 12 yard dumpster size, but most containers have similar dimensions (give or take a foot on any dimension) to 12 ft L x 8 ft W x 4 ft H.
The average nationwide cost to rent a 12 yard dumpster is $350. Rental costs vary by location. The vast majority of locations will be plus or minus $100 from the average cost.
12 yard dumpsters offer a nice combination of loading capacity, compact footprint, and affordable rental rates. Learn all about the 12 yard dumpster's best uses, average pricing, and common dimensions.

Junk removal services are incredibly convenient, which is why so many homeowners and business owners opt to hire junk removal companies to help with their projects.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Most people know junk removal companies are great at getting rid of bulk trash, unwanted furniture and appliances, and remodeling debris, but not everyone knows that junk removal companies are great at helping with light demolition projects, too.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
If you're planning a light demolition project, like fence removal, above ground pool removal, deck removal, hot tub removal, flooring removal, etc., you may not realize that junk removal companies can be a great asset in getting the job done as efficiently as possible.
\r\n\r\n
In this guide, we'll go over the light demolition process so you know what to expect, how much you can expect to pay, and who to hire.
Getting multiple quotes from local junk removal companies for your light demolition project is the best way to ensure you hire the right company for the right price, and nobody makes it more simple than Hometown.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Hometown Dumpster Rental specializes in helping homeowners and business owners find waste disposal companies, including dumpster rental and junk removal services.
\r\n\r\n
We make it easy to request quotes from up to three companies with a single click.
\r\n\r\n
Start by answering a few questions about your project...
\r\n\r\n
Select the type of project you have.
\r\n\r\n
Enter the address where you will need service.
\r\n\r\n
Describe your project as clearly as you can, including dimensions, materials, and other important details about your light demolition project that may affect how the job is done.
\r\n\r\n
Select how many quotes you would like to request from local providers.
\r\n\r\n
We recommend selecting \"Up to 3\" because the more quotes you get, the more information you'll be able to compare, like companies' availability, customer service, experience, and cost.
\r\n\r\n
The more quotes you can compare, the higher your chances of hiring the best company for the job.
\r\n\r\n
After describing your project, we'll get your contact details so companies can reach out to you to provide a quote.
\r\n\r\n
We never share or sell your data. We only use your project details to help connect you to the right local experts and to follow up on your satisfaction level.
\r\n\r\n
Once your request is submitted, you’ll receive a text alerting you when a company accepts your request and agrees to provide a quote.
\r\n\r\n
The junk removal companies will then follow up with you directly to schedule a time to come out to your property and provide an accurate quote for your light demolition project.
\r\n\r\n
If you haven't requested quotes from junk removal companies yet, Hometown can help you find qualified local junk removal services, read customer reviews, and easily request quotes from them.
The exact demolition process will vary depending on your particular project.
\r\n\r\n
For example, a fence removal will go differently than a hot tub or above ground pool removal.
\r\n\r\n
However, the general light demolition process goes like this...
\r\n\r\n
Step 1: A crew of typically two or more will arrive at your job site in a trailer truck to get started.
\r\n\r\n
Step 2: The crew will confirm and finalize the exact work you need done.
\r\n\r\n
Step 3: Before starting demolition, they will position the trailer/truck as close to the job site as possible for convenient disposal of debris.
\r\n\r\n
Step 4: Any prep work that needs to be done takes place. For example, above ground pools and hot tubs are emptied, electricity gets turned off if interior demolition is taking place, etc.
\r\n\r\n
Step 5: Using simple manpower and the necessary tools (e.g. electric drills, saws, pry bars, sledgehammers, and in some cases, heavy machinery, like backhoes or jackhammers), the crew will start the disassemby and demolition.
\r\n\r\n
Step 6: As the demolition takes place, the debris is loaded onto the truck/trailer.
\r\n\r\n
Step 7: Once the demolition is finished and all the debris is in the truck/trailer, the crew will typically sweep or rake the area clear of any remaining debris.
\r\n\r\n
Pay Invoice
\r\n\r\n
Once your light demolition project is completed, before leaving your home or business, the junk removal company will provide you with an invoice.
\r\n\r\n
Oftentimes, they'll take a credit card or cash on the spot.
\r\n\r\n
In some cases, you can call into the office to pay the invoice over the phone.
\r\n\r\n
Debris Is Disposed of Properly
\r\n\r\n
Once loaded onto their truck, the junk removal company will then transport the debris to the appropriate place for proper disposal.
\r\n\r\n
For example, if you have items that can be donated, the service company will take it to a local charity. (Ask for a receipt of donation if they do not provide one to you.)
\r\n\r\n
If the item(s) can't be donated but can be recycled, the company will take it to a local recycling facility.
\r\n\r\n
If they are unable to donate or recycle the item(s), only then will they take the debris to a landfill.

Hiring a junk removal company is a fast and efficient way to get help tackling a cleaning or junk removal project, but not ensuring that the people you hire to do so are licensed and insured can result in a world of headaches.
One of the biggest risks associated with hiring someone who isn't properly licensed and insured to remove your items or junk from your home or business is the lack of protection should any accidents unfortunately occur.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Regardless of the size or scope of the project, there is always the potential for unforeseen accidents to happen because life is simply unpredictable.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
In the event of these unlikely accidents, whether it be damage to the property or the injury of a hired professional, an insured junk removal company will have the coverage needed to pay for the cost of remediation.
\r\n\r\n
An uninsured company, however, leaves you open to financial risk, as you would be responsible for paying damages. A person injured on your property could also have legal grounds to sue you for damages.
A \"company\" or individual who is willing to operate a business illegally may not have the best intentions to begin with.
\r\n\r\n
In addition to safety and legal risks, theft and other damage is a potential risk from people who aren't registered as a licensed company in the area they're offering services.
\r\n\r\n
It's much easier for people to get away with theft and other damages if there is no paper trail that could lead the authorities to them, leaving you responsible to deal with the aftermath.
\r\n\r\n
Don't fall for the lure of cheaper prices if it comes with the cost of these potentially very expensive risks.

Estimate what size dumpster you need - Roll-off dumpster sizes are quoted in the number of cubic yards of debris the container will hold. Common sizes are 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard. Click on a company's logo or name to visit their profile page, where you'll find sizes and dimensions of dumpsters available to rent.
\r\n\t
Research local dumpster rental companies - Find local services that have a good reputation and offer the size you need at a price you can afford.
\r\n\t
Contact one or more service providers - Confirm information about prices, amount of weight included in the price, rental period, and other terms of the rental.
\r\n\t
Reserve the dumpster - It's best to schedule the dumpster for delivery for the day before you plan to start loading it.
\r\n\r\n\r\n
What are dumpster weight allowances?
\r\n\r\n
When you rent a dumpster, it comes with a weight allowance. A major portion of dumpster rental pricing is the cost to dispose of the debris. Landfills and recycling centers charge disposal services for the weight of the debris, generally anywhere from $75 per ton (2,000 lbs) to $100 per ton. The amount of weight included in the price can range from 0 lbs to 1 ton (2,000 lbs) to 8 tons (16,000 lbs) or more. The bigger the dumpster, the greater the weight allowance, generally. Dumpster companies generally pass the additional disposal fees on to the renter when your load goes over the included weight. If your price includes 2 tons of weight (4,000 lbs) and your debris weighs in at 6,000 lbs at the landfill, you'll end up paying the extra fees for the additional weight.
