Renting a trash container is a simple process that takes just a few steps.
\r\n\r\nWe’ll cover the step-by-step dumpster rental process, as well as other important details to keep in mind to ensure a great rental experience.
\r\n\r\nTrash container rentals come in several varieties, including roll-off containers, trailer dumpsters, and bag-style dumpsters.\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nEnter your zip code in the search box, and you’ll be taken to a list of qualified dumpster rental companies that serve your location.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, you can call one or multiple (recommended) dumpster companies to find the right fit for your project.
\r\n\r\nDumpster rental companies offer varying container sizes, prices, and availability, which is why it’s important to contact at least 2-3 companies to ensure you get the best price and the right container needed for the job.
\r\n\r\nThere are various types of trash containers available to rent, including roll-off dumpsters, trailer dumpsters, and bag-style dumpsters (e.g., Bagster).
\r\n\r\nEach type of dumpster offers advantages and potentially some drawbacks, so it’s worth exploring each.
\r\n\r\nHere’s a quick description of each dumpster type:
\r\n\r\nWe suggest getting several online quotes before hiring a junk removal company. Don’t base your decision on price alone, as the reputation of a company should be a key factor in finding a good junk hauler.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The rental process may vary by company, but below are the basic steps involved in renting a trash container.
\r\n\r\nDumpster rental prices vary by location, dumpster size, and other factors.
\r\n\r\nRental rates also vary by dumpster rental company, which is why we stress the importance of getting several dumpster quotes before booking one.
\r\n\r\nThe average cost to rent a trash container ranges from $350 for a 10 yard dumpster to $650 for a 40 yard dumpsters. The average rental duration is seven days.\r\n\r\n
Below you’ll find the average nationwide cost to rent a dumpster of common container sizes, based on data collected by Hometown Dumpster Rental:
\r\n\r\nRental prices can be more or less than the average prices listed.
\r\n\r\nFor example, if you live in a high cost of living area, such as Los Angeles, you can likely expect to pay slightly more than the national average.
\r\n\r\nThe cost of renting a roll-off container or trailer dumpster typically includes everything in the stated cost: container drop-off, pick-up, and disposal.
\r\n\r\nPotential additional fees include overage charges for going over the dumpster’s weight limit or fees for disposing of prohibited materials.
\r\n\r\nThe cost of utilizing a bag-style dumpster is a bit different compared to the flat fee structure of roll-off dumpsters or trailer dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nThere’s an upfront cost to purchase the bag and an additional fee to have it picked up and disposed of.
\r\n\r\nFor example, Bagster can be purchased for around $30 at most major home improvement stores, and then you are charged around $150 by Waste Management (the maker of Bagster) to have the filled Bagster picked up. (These costs will vary by location.)
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDumpsters are sized based on their capacities, and this is measured in cubic yards.
\r\n\r\nFor example, roll-off dumpsters are commonly available in 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard sizes.
\r\n\r\nCommercial dumpsters often come in sizes such as 2 yard, 4 yard, 6 yard, or 8 yard sizes.
\r\n\r\nBelow you’ll see common roll-off dumpster sizes and dimensions:
\r\n\r\nRoll-off containers do vary in size, so your dumpster rental provider may have container sizes that vary from the above.
\r\n\r\nAlso, trailer dumpsters can vary, but use the measurements above to get a general idea of trailer dumpster dimensions.
\r\n\r\nBag-style dumpsters also range in size from 3 yards to 5 yards on average.
\r\n\r\nA Bagster can hold three cubic yards and measures 8 ft x 4 ft x 2.5 ft when full.
\r\n\r\nWhen choosing the right trash container for the job, consider not only price but also availability and size requirements.
\r\n\r\nIn cases where you have limited space for dumpster placement, a small 10 yard dumpster, trailer dumpster, or bag dumpster may be the best option, so be sure to consider price, availability, and size when choosing your trash container solution.

\r\n\r\nOne of the most essential tools for DIY shed demolition is a dumpster to handle the cleanup and debris disposal.
\r\n\r\nShed demo is a pretty straightforward project, especially if there is no electric or plumbing to deal with.
\r\n\r\nIt may or may not require a permit depending on your local city demolition laws.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSheds come in various designs, so the disposal needs can vary significantly based on size and materials used.
\r\n
It’s common to underestimate your dumpster size needs when disposing of debris from a shed demolition project.
\r\n\r\nTo avoid this problem, choose a dumpster slightly larger than you think you need.
\r\n\r\nFor reference, a typical 8 ft x 10 ft wood shed with a gable roof can consist of around 100 2x4 and 2x6 boards for the frame in addition to roof trusses, siding, flooring, trim, hardware, window(s), and shingles.
\r\n\r\nNeedless to say, that’s a lot of debris to dispose of, and usually a Bagster or equivalently-sized bag dumpster won’t cut it for this project.
\r\n\r\nLearn more about shed demolition:
\r\n\r\nAverage size sheds are generally 8 ft x 8 ft, 8 ft x 10 ft, or 10 ft x 12 ft.
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster will accommodate most shed demolition projects, oftentimes with room to spare, especially if you take care when loading the debris.
\r\n\r\nMany dumpster rental companies offer other similar options, too, like 12 yard and 15 yard dumpsters or trailer dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nThe cost of these dumpsters generally ranges from $250 to $450 depending on where you live.
\r\n\r\nShed demolition debris is allowed in roll-off dumpsters and not your curbside trashcan, so avoid putting lumber, roofing material, or metal scraps in your curbside trash container.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen booking the dumpster, be sure to tell the dumpster rental provider(s) you speak to about your project, the types of debris you'll be disposing of, and how much.
\r\n
This ensures all the debris is allowed in the dumpster and no problems or additional fees will be incurred later on.
\r\n\r\nDon’t wait until the last minute to rent a dumpster either.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend booking your dumpster a week or more in advance of the drop-off date to ensure the container you need is available.
\r\n\r\nA trailer dumpster may be a great option if the dumpster is to be positioned in a yard, or when damage to a driveway is a concern.
\r\n\r\nBeing on tires, these dumpsters are driveway-safe alternatives to roll-off containers but are not as widely available.
\r\n\r\nClear a path for the dumpster truck driver to drop off the dumpster in a convenient location for easy loading.

\r\n
10 yard dumpsters are compact and convenient options, but because of their smaller size, it’s important to determine whether or not a 10 yard dumpster is the right size for your project. Before renting, you'll want to make sure that a 10 yard container can hold the amount of debris you have and a big enough weight limit to accommodate your project’s needs.
\r\n\r\nAlthough the price of a 10 yard dumpster is attractive in comparison to larger options, underestimating the full scope of your project's disposal needs could end up costing you more money in the long run in overage fees or the need for an additional dumpster.
\r\n\r\nIn this guide, we'll break down what fits in a 10 yard dumpster, what doesn't, and how to be sure a 10 yard dumpster is the right roll-off for your needs.
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster holds up to 10 cubic yards of material. This makes it ideal for small to mid-sized projects like garage cleanouts, yard debris removal, or a small home renovation. To help visualize, it’s roughly equivalent to three pickup truck loads of debris. You could also think of it as being able to hold about 50 to 70 standard trash bags, depending on how full they are.
\r\n\r\nIn terms of weight, this dumpster typically handles between 4,000 to 6,000 pounds of waste, although that can vary based on what you're tossing. Lighter materials like household junk take up more space but weigh less, while concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles are heavier and fill it faster.
\r\n\r\nIts dimensions generally measure around 12 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 3.5 feet tall, making it easy to place in a driveway or tight space while still holding a substantial amount of material.
\r\n\r\n
Unlike larger 30 and 40 yard dumpsters, 10 yarders come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, too. There are roll-offs, trailer dumpsters, lowboys (dumpster walls are shorter), and commercial front-load dumpsters. Roll-off containers are the most common, followed by rubber-wheeled trailer dumpsters. Lowboys and flat-bottom dumpsters have shorter sides for easier loading of heavy debris, and they're another common 10 yard dumpster type.
\r\n\r\nThe typical 10 yard roll-off container measures 12 ft L x 8 ft W x 4 ft H.
\r\n\r\nKeep in mind that dimensions vary, so if you're concerned about the dumpster fitting, it’s important to ask the dumpster rental provider what type(s) of 10 yard dumpsters are available, as well as the approximate dimensions of each type. If you have tight or limited space, be sure to measure the area you plan on placing your rental to make sure delivery goes smoothly.
\r\n\r\nSome 10 yard dumpsters make more sense than others depending on the type of waste or debris. For example, a lowboy is great for loading heavy dirt or roofing shingles, while a container with tall sides is better for disposing of bulky items, like sofas, chairs, appliances, and the like. This depends on the type, weight, and volume of waste.
\r\n\r\nBelow are some examples of projects and how much of that type of debris a 10 yarder will accommodate.

\r\n\r\n10 yarders are cost-efficient, widely available, and have a relatively small footprint.
\r\n\r\n10 yard dumpsters fit well in driveways, making them a great option for homeowners working on a home cleanout, renovation, roofing project, cleaning out the house before a move, e.tc
\r\n\r\nThe key to making the most of your 10 yard rental is planning ahead, estimating the type/amount of debris accurately, and abiding by the weight-limit and load-height requirements.
\r\n\r\n10 yard dumpster is a great choice for smaller-scale projects that generate a moderate amount of debris. Here’s a list of common projects that are typically a good fit for a 10-yard dumpster:
\r\n\r\nGarage or attic cleanouts
\r\n\tBasement decluttering
\r\n\tEstate cleanouts (small-scale)
\r\n\tCleaning out a single bedroom or office
\r\n\tDownsizing before a move
\r\n\tSmall bathroom remodel (vanity, tub, tile, drywall)
\r\n\tPartial kitchen remodel (cabinets, countertops, flooring)
\r\n\tRemoving carpet or flooring in one or two rooms
\r\n\tRemoving old drywall or paneling in one or two rooms
\r\n\tSpring or fall yard cleanup
\r\n\tTree and shrub trimming
\r\n\tDirt, brush, or sod removal
\r\n\tSmall deck or fence tear-down
\r\n\tHauling away landscaping debris
\r\n\tTearing out a small porch or patio
\r\n\tSmall roofing projects (up to ~1,500 sq. ft. of shingles)
\r\n\tShed demolition (8x10 ft or smaller)
\r\n\tSmall interior demolition (non-load-bearing walls)
\r\n\tRemoving old furniture from one or two rooms
\r\n\tDisposing of mattresses, couches, or broken appliances
\r\n\tLight hoarding cleanups (single area or room)
\r\n\tThe average cost to rent a 10 yard dumpster is $250-$450 for a standard 7-day rental.
\r\n\r\nThe cost to rent a dumpster, whether it's a 10 yard dumpster or a 40 yard dumpster, can vary depending on where you live (local cost of living, disposal fees, etc.), dumpster availability, the type and amount of debris you're disposing, and who you rent from.
\r\n\r\nFor example, you can expect to pay $500+ to rent a 10 yard roll-off container in New York City, while the same size container in Cleveland, OH can cost as little as $250.
\r\n\r\nTo ensure the best pricing, we recommend getting pricing from at least 2-3 dumpster rental companies in your area.
\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you fill the dumpster too high or exceed the included weight limit in your dumpster rental price, you could be charged additional fees that turn a great deal into an expensive ordeal if you aren't careful. Overage fees can cost $100+ per ton in some markets, with the average national cost around $75 per ton. These fees can add up fast, especially if the debris is dense and heavy.
\r\n\r\nFor example, 5 sq ft of roofing shingle debris can weigh around 2 tons, while a 20 sq ft roof would generate about 8 tons of roofing shingle debris. A typical 10 yard dumpster comes standard with 2 tons of included weight. Going 6 tons over could cost hundreds of dollars in additional fees which could have been avoided if you ordered an appropriately sized container.

\r\n\r\nTrash and recycling services for your business can range in price from $90-$300+ per month for one container. The exact cost depends on the waste hauler’s pricing, container size, location, and type of debris. Recycling containers generally cost less than trash dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nThe following chart breaks down the national average prices to rent the most common commercial dumpsters for a month...
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

| 2 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t$100-$200 | \r\n\t\t

| 8 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t$250-$350 | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There are several factors that affect the cost of your dumpster rental or commercial dumpster services.
\r\n\r\nLet’s break it down...
\r\n\r\nSimply put, each waste hauling company is free to set their pricing to whatever they’d like. As a customer, this makes it critical to check with multiple companies before choosing a provider. We recommend contacting at least 3 different services.
\r\n\r\nEach dumpster company's pricing can vary based on the duration of the rental period, the included weight limit, overage fees, pick-up schedule, operating hours, and other factors.
\r\n\r\nIt's also important to note that companies often run promotions or offer discounts for seniors or veterans, which is another reason we strongly encourage you to request multiple quotes to compare services and pricing.
\r\n\r\nWaste haulers generally charge more if they are required to travel long distances to drop off or pick up. Fuel costs and wear-and-tear on trucks are a substantial overhead cost for a waste hauling company, which is why, if possible, we recommend going with a company located nearby.
\r\n\r\nOn top of distance from the rental company, where you're located within your region will also make a big difference. For example, the cost of living in your area impacts landfill fees, meaning higher disposal fees for you.
\r\n\r\nSmaller dumpsters cost less than larger dumpsters. This is true for temporary residential dumpster rentals and commercial dumpster service. However, sometimes larger dumpsters provide a better overall value. Going with the smallest size dumpster to save money can end up costing you more if you underestimate the amount of junk or debris you need to get rid of, causing you to have to rent a second dumpster or pay for your dumpster to be emptied and returned.
\r\n\r\nFor example, one 20 yard dumpster will cost less than renting two 10 yard dumpsters, saving you money and time in the long run.
\r\n\r\nRead on:
\r\n\r\nRecycling dumpsters typically cost less than general waste dumpsters because the tipping fees cost less at the recycling facility than the landfill/processing facility. Non-recyclable waste requires special considerations that can influence pricing.
\r\n\r\nClean loading a dumpster, meaning only dumping one type of material into the container, usually allows for a discounted dumpster rental price.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nDumpster rental costs are not set in stone, especially when working with smaller local waste haulers trying to earn your business.
\r\n\r\nIt's worth inquiring about any special deals they might be running, discounts for seniors/military/etc., or volume discounts for a large ongoing project. These discounts can add up and are a great way to reduce your total dumpster rental costs.
\r\n\r\nThe best way to ensure you're getting the best price for your dumpster is to contact several different locally-owned service providers in your area to compare dumpster rental quotes. We recommend getting at least three quotes to be sure you get a clear picture of the services offered, fair pricing for the area, and the quality of customer service being offered.
\r\n\r\nAt Hometown, we make it easy to find, contact, and compare local dumpster rental companies in your area. Read real, verified customer reviews and request free quotes from multiple companies so you can be sure you're hiring the best dumpster rental company near you for the best price.
\r\n\r\nDumpster pricing costs $250-$750 for temporary dumpsters and $100-$350 per month for commercial dumpsters. These prices depemd on several factors, like location, amount and type of debris, the rental company you choose, and more.

\r\nBefore requesting quotes from dumpster rental companies, you may have some questions about your potential project you'd like answered first.
\r\n\r\nHow much debris can fit into each dumpster size? Which dumpster size should I rent for my project? Is there any debris I shouldn't put in a dumpster? How much does dumpster rental cost? How many quotes should I get before renting? How do I make sure I don't get ripped off?
\r\n\r\nHometown has the answers to all these and more.
\r\n\r\nAll dumpster rental companies should have the appropriate licensing and insurance policies in place to safely do the job and protect their workers and your property in the event of an accident.

\r\n
Roll-off dumpster sizes are measured in cubic yards and are usually offered as 10, 20, 30, or 40 yard dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nSome dumpster rental companies offer half sizes, like 15 yard dumpsters or 25 yard dumpsters, and even mini dumpsters in some cases, commonly ranging from 2-8 yards.

\r\n\r\nIn this guide, we'll go over the most common dumpster sizes, what types of projects they can accommodate, and when that dumpster size is the right choice for you.
