When renting a dumpster, whether it be for a home renovation, construction project, or major cleanout, understanding the concept of a dumpster's weight limit is essential.
\r\n\r\nA dumpster weight limit refers to the maximum amount of weight that a dumpster can safely and legally hold, or the amount of weight included in your dumpster rental price. Exceeding this limit can lead to additional fees at best and safety hazards at worst.
\r\n\r\nKnowing the weight limit of your rented dumpster ensures that you can efficiently manage your waste disposal without unexpected costs or logistical problems. This knowledge allows you to plan your project better, select the appropriate dumpster size, and avoid overloading. Additionally, adhering to weight limits is crucial for maintaining road safety and complying with local regulations regarding waste disposal.
\r\n\r\nIn this article, we will delve into the details of dumpster weight limits, explore the factors that influence these limits, and provide practical tips on how to stay within them. Whether you are a homeowner tackling a DIY project or a contractor managing a large-scale construction job, understanding dumpster weight limits will help you make informed decisions and ensure a smooth, hassle-free waste management experience.
\r\n\r\n
Dumpster rentals have weight limits for a number of important reasons. Here are the key factors why these limits are necessary:
\r\n\r\nDumpsters are extremely heavy duty, sturdy containers, but the trucks that pick them up and carry them away have limitations. Dumpster trucks can only safely lift and maneuver so much weight, which is why companies limit the amount of weight that can go inside a dumpster.
\r\n\r\nSome companies won't pick up concrete or extremely heavy debris because of the risks involved, while others accept heavy debris but with very specific instructions, like only filling the dumpster halfway. If you exceed the halfway mark or don't abide by their instructions, you'll have to remove the debris before it can be hauled away, and you may be charged double.
\r\n\r\nIn addition to safety purposes, weight limits are also in place for monetary reasons.
\r\n\r\nIt's rare for a dumpster to have a flat fee because, at a landfill or recycling facility, the materials dropped off are almost always priced by weight. For example, a 10 yard dumpster full of some old furniture and bags of trash will weigh significantly less than a 10 yard dumpster full of concrete or dirt. So, even if the dumpsters are the same size and are rented from the same company, the dumpster full of concrete or dirt will cost more than the dumpster full of furniture and trash.
\r\n\r\nBecause the company pays by weight when they drop off your debris/junk, they often include a certain tonnage in each dumpster's price. If you go over that weight, you will be charged an overage fee. Dumpster companies limit the amount of weight included in the price of your dumpster rental, and dumpster trucks are limited to the amount of weight they can physically tow.
\r\n\r\nEach dumpster size comes with a different weight limit that it can handle, and weight limits also vary from one contractor to the next.
\r\n\r\nThe table below details how much common debris and materials weigh. To get a more accurate estimation of how much your debris will weigh and how much will fit in various dumpster sizes, refer to the various charts below.

\r\n\r\nWhen your dumpster is ready to be picked up, the dumpster company grabs the dumpster from your home or work site and drives it to the nearest landfill or recycling facility. When they arrive, the truck drives the dumpster onto a scale at the front of the landfill. The total weight of the dumpster, truck, and debris is measured. Once weighed, the truck then empties the dumpster.
\r\n\r\nAs the truck leaves the landfill, it drives over another scale and gets weighed again without the debris. From there, the difference in weights is calculated to determine the weight of the debris, and that's what you get billed for. If the weight of your debris exceeds your included weight limit, you'll be charged an overage fee, likely pro-rated by ton.
\r\n\r\nThe weight of a full dumpster depends on two key factors: the type of debris and the size of the dumpster. Lightweight household junk weighs far less than dense construction materials or roofing shingles. Overloading a dumpster can lead to extra charges or even service refusal, so it's important to estimate accurately. Below, we break down estimated weight ranges for full dumpsters based on what you’re throwing out.
\r\n\r\nHousehold trash is among the lightest types of waste. Even when fully loaded, most residential junk, like furniture, clothing, toys, and general clutter, won’t come close to exceeding a dumpster's weight limit. However, heavier items like books, appliances, or wood furniture can add up.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tEstimated Weight Range | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|
| 10 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t0.5 - 1.25 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 15 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t0.75 - 1.9 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 20 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t1 - 2.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 30 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t1.5 - 3.75 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 40 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t2 - 5 tons | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
Note: You’re unlikely to exceed weight limits with household junk unless you’re tossing especially dense items. Keep in mind, however, that these are averages. Your exact household junk weight may vary from these averages.
\r\n\r\nConstruction debris is much heavier than regular trash. Drywall, tile, wood, and concrete can significantly increase total weight. Even a half-full dumpster loaded with bricks or plaster can hit the maximum weight limit. For this reason, smaller dumpsters are often better suited for heavy materials.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tEstimated Weight Range | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|
| 10 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t1.25 - 5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 15 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t1.9 - 7.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 20 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t2.5 - 10 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 30 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t3.75 - 15 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 40 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t5 - 20 tons | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
Note: For heavy materials like concrete or brick, use a 10 or 15 yard dumpster to avoid overage fees or truck hauling limits. These estimates are averages only. The exact weight of your C&D debris may be more or less than the given estimated weight ranges.
\r\n\r\nAsphalt shingles are denser than they appear. Each roofing “square” (100 sq ft) weighs between 250-300 lbs, and most roof tear-offs involve multiple layers. That weight can fill up a dumpster quickly—even if there’s still room at the top.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tEstimated Weight Range | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|
| 10 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t3 - 3.75 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 15 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t4.5 - 5.25 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 20 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t6 - 7.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 30 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t9 - 10.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
| 40 Yard | \r\n\t\t\t12 - 13.5 tons | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
Note: Many dumpster rental companies cap roofing shingle loads to 10 or 15 yard dumpsters to avoid overweight issues. The exact weight of your shingles and roofing debris may be more or less than these averages, so err on the side of caution.
\r\n\r\nBecause weight limits can vary, we recommend reaching out to multiple dumpster rental providers in your area to compare the amount of weight they include in their rental prices. This will help to ensure you get the right dumpster size for the best price.
\r\n\r\nBe aware that some companies don't include any weight in their quotes, and instead, you pay a pro-rated amount based on the exact weight of debris you have. This is most common on the east coast or in large cities, like New York City, where landfill fees are inflated and weight plays such a drastic role in cost.
\r\n\r\nNo, dumpster weight limits are typically not negotiable because they are in place for safety reasons and because the company is charged at the landfill based on the weight of their load.
\r\n\r\nHowever, in some instances, you may be able to discuss your weight limit needs with your dumpster rental provider. If they're aware of your concerns in advance, they may be able to proactively recommend a better size for your weight limit needs or offer a discount on overage fees.

Whether you’re doing spring cleaning or tearing down a structure, dumpster rentals make debris removal simple and cost-effective.
\r\n\r\nDumpster rental prices are generally straightforward, but there are a few hidden costs to watch for. The quoted rate you receive typically includes delivery, pickup, disposal, a set rental period, and a specific weight limit. However, exceeding those limits or keeping the dumpster longer than expected can lead to extra charges.
\r\n\r\nOn average, a 10 yard dumpster rental costs between $250 and $450 in the U.S., though prices vary depending on your location, the size of the dumpster, and the type of debris you’re disposing of. Larger containers and heavy materials like concrete or roofing shingles generally increase the total cost.
\r\n\r\nEach dumpster provider sets their own terms for rental periods, weight allowances, and overage fees, so it’s important to review your rental agreement carefully. Following the outlined guidelines can help you avoid unexpected charges and ensure you get the best deal on your dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\nIn this guide, we’ll break down the most common dumpster overage fees and share simple tips to help you stay within budget.
\r\n\r\n![\"Dumpster](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/avoid-costly-dumpster-rental-mistakes-1.jpg\")
\r\nMost dumpster rental companies charge additional fees if you exceed the dumpster’s stated weight allowance. These extra charges are known as overage fees, and they can quickly add up if you’re disposing of heavy materials.
\r\n\r\nOverage fees typically range from $50 to $100 per ton, depending on your location and the rental company’s pricing policy. It’s important to know that these fees usually aren’t prorated—meaning that even if you go just a few pounds over your limit, you may still be charged for the full additional ton.
\r\n\r\nFor example:
\r\n\r\nWhen disposing of heavy materials, the total weight can climb faster than you might expect. For instance, one cubic yard of concrete can weigh up to 4,000 lbs, meaning just a few yards could push your dumpster well beyond its limit.
\r\n\r\nCommon types of heavy debris that can cause overage charges include:
\r\n\r\nTo prevent surprise fees, always confirm your dumpster’s weight allowance before loading it. If your project involves heavy debris, ask your dumpster rental provider for guidance. They can recommend the right size and weight capacity for your materials.
\r\n\r\nKeeping weight limits in mind from the start will help you stay within budget and avoid unexpected costs when your dumpster is picked up and weighed.
\r\n\r\nAdding prohibited items to your dumpster is one of the most common reasons customers face unexpected dumpster rental fees. Every dumpster rental company has its own list of items that are restricted or banned due to safety and environmental regulations.
\r\n\r\nTypical items not allowed in a dumpster include:
\r\n\r\nSome dumpster rental providers may accept these materials for an additional disposal fee, while others strictly prohibit them. Always confirm what’s allowed before loading your dumpster to avoid penalties.
\r\n\r\nTrying to hide hazardous or restricted materials in a dumpster isn’t worth the risk. Not only can it be dangerous for the environment and waste handlers, but the issue will likely be discovered when your dumpster is emptied at the landfill or transfer station.
\r\n\r\nIf that happens, you could be billed for extra handling or disposal fees, sometimes even after the dumpster has been hauled away. These costs can vary widely depending on the material type and your local regulations.
\r\n\r\nTo stay compliant and avoid surprise charges:
\r\n\r\nTaking a few minutes to confirm what’s allowed can save you from paying unnecessary fines and extra fees later.

\r\nOne of the most common, and expensive, mistakes homeowners make is renting a dumpster that’s too small for the job. While it might seem like choosing a smaller dumpster will save money upfront, it can actually cost you hundreds more if you end up needing a second container.
\r\n\r\nWhen a dumpster fills up before your project is complete, you’ll either need to:
\r\n\r\nThe easiest way to avoid this issue is simple: size up. If you think a 10-yard dumpster might work, consider upgrading to a 15 yard dumpster instead.
\r\n\r\nHere’s a quick cost comparison:
\r\n\r\nThat $50 difference is minimal compared to paying $600 or more for two smaller dumpsters if you underestimate your debris volume. The same logic applies to larger sizes. Choosing a 20 yard dumpster instead of a 15 yard dumpster often costs just $50-$100 more, but saves time, hassle, and money in the long run.
\r\n\r\nWhen you’re unsure which dumpster size fits your project, always err on the side of caution and choose the larger option. Your dumpster rental company can help estimate the best size based on:
\r\n\r\nA slightly larger dumpster provides the flexibility you need without the stress of running out of space mid-project.

The size and weight of a dumpster can make new customers concerned about the safety of their driveway, but there are safety measures that can be taken to ensure your concrete or asphalt driveway is protected from any potential damage.
\r\n\r\nIn this article, we'll describe the most popular methods reputable dumpster rental companies use to protect their customers' driveways from potential damage.
\r\n\r\nNote: Not all dumpster rental companies go the extra mile in this way. In most cases, concrete can handle a dumpster without incurring any damage. Asphalt, on the other hand, is softer and more easily damaged, especially on hot days, so it will require additional care. Be sure you ask the dumpster companies you speak to about whether or not they take this extra step to protect your driveway.
\r\n\r\n![\"How](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/protect-your-driveway-info-01.png\")
\r\nOne of the easiest ways to protect a driveway from damage when delivering a dumpster is to place plywood or other thick wood boards underneath the roll-off container's steel wheels.
\r\n\r\nOftentimes, these are provided and placed by the delivery driver and there is nothing that needs to be done on your part.
\r\n\r\nAs previously mentioned, it's best to confirm this when reaching out to different dumpster companies prior to hiring.
\r\n\r\nIf the company you hire does not provide them, plywood or other wood boards can easily be found at local hardware and lumber supply stores.
\r\n\r\nOr, you can find a different company that will provide these.
\r\n\r\nThe best way to find the best dumpster company in your area is by searching on Hometown.
\r\n\r\nWe make it easy to find and request free quotes from licensed, insured, and locally-owned dumpster companies that service your zip code.
\r\n\r\nGetting multiple quotes gives you the best opportunity to compare and contrast a company's quality of service, availability, and costs.
\r\n\r\nReputable dumpster rental companies will have weight limits in place based on the dumpster size you rent.
\r\n\r\nDumpsters include weight limits for several reasons:
\r\n\r\nGoing over your weight limit will result in additional overage charges and will vary from company to company.
\r\n\r\nThe average cost of dumpster overage fees are around $75-$100 per ton over the weight limit.

\r\n\r\nIf you're concerned that these steps aren't enough to protect your new or fragile driveway, a rubber-wheeled trailer dumpster is likely the best container type for your project.
\r\n\r\nTrailer dumpsters sit on rubber wheels rather than the steel wheels you'll find on traditional roll-off containers.
\r\n\r\nRubber wheels provide added protection to your driveway and weigh far less than the average vehicle.
\r\n\r\nPlacing wood underneath the tongue of the trailer is an added step that will ensure the properly placed dumpster won't do any harm to your concrete driveway.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAn often overlooked aspect of DIY home renovations is the debris disposal, which can end up being costly without a proper plan in place.
\r\n
There are different debris disposal options available on the market, and Hometown is here to help you explore them all so that you can get the best price for your disposal method of choice.
\r\n\r\n![\"Get](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/best-price-renovation-debris.png\")
\r\n\r\n\r\nUnless you only have a few small pieces of renovation debris to get rid of, your regular weekly trash service won't be an option, as construction debris isn't allowed to be mixed in with household trash.
\r\n\r\nInstead, you'll have to haul your renovation debris to the landfill facility yourself.
\r\n\r\nIt's important to make sure you have proper gloves and protection when picking up and sorting through renovation debris to prevent bodily injury, as well as the strength and assistance required to lift any heavy pieces, like old appliances or building material.
\r\n\r\nYou'll also want to make sure you have a vehicle appropriate for loading and hauling debris, like a pickup truck or hauling van.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nConsider how far away you're located from the nearest landfill to account for the cost of gas to make one or multiple trips to the landfill, as well as landfill charges in your area.
\r\n
The value of your time should also be taken into consideration, as any DIY project will take up much more of your valuable time than hiring a professional to handle the debris removal for you.
\r\n\r\nThat said, DIY debris disposal will likely be the cheapest way to get rid of renovation debris as long as you live relatively close to a landfill and have the time and labor to spare.
\r\n\r\nIf your renovation was more of a deconstruction project and you were able to maintain the integrity of building materials or old fixtures, you may be able to donate or give them away for free.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nJunk removal services often offer debris removal which can be very convenient for those with busy schedules, limited physical abilities, or a vehicle that can't accommodate the hauling of renovation debris.
\r\n\r\nJunk removal services are an ideal debris removal option if you have less than 7 cubic yards of debris and the debris is mostly wood, old fixtures, or other non-toxic, relatively lightweight debris.
\r\n\r\nDebris removal services are by far the fastest and easiest way to get rid of renovation debris, but it tends to be more costly due to the all-inclusive nature of the services.
\r\n\r\nA junk removal company will send a crew of 1-2 people to arrive to your location, give you a price quote, and if you agree to the price, they'll start loading their vehicle with your material right away.
\r\n\r\nThese services can typically be completed in under an hour unless your project requires multiple vehicles/trips to load the debris.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTo get the best price on full-service debris removal, have all your material piled up in a convenient and easy-access location.
\r\n
For example, having your debris piled up on the first floor will make loading much faster than if the junk removal crew has to navigate flights of stairs.
\r\n\r\nSimilarly, having the debris piled up on the porch or driveway will make it easy for the debris removal workers to drive up, load, and haul away, rather than having to carry the debris hundreds of feet to their vehicle.
\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest factors that impact the cost of junk removal services is the amount of time and labor it takes to complete a job.
\r\n\r\nEliminating the time or work needed to load and haul your debris will likely get you a better price for your debris removal project.
\r\n\r\nIt's also useful to get multiple quotes and use one company's quote as leverage when speaking with their competitors.
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\nRenting a temporary dumpster for construction material is a popular choice for many homeowners.
\r\n\r\nIf you have 7 or more cubic yards of debris, dumpster rentals tend to be cheaper than junk removal services, though they require more labor on your part.
\r\n\r\nIf you have less than 20 cubic yards of debris, dumpster rentals can be slightly more expensive than hauling the debris to the landfill yourself, but it cuts the time and effort required by you in half.
\r\n\r\nMost dumpster rentals last 5-7 days which allows you and your project helpers to load the renovation debris at a pace that is safe for your health and convenient for your schedule.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend having your dumpster rental delivered to the property on the day you begin renovations so you can load the dumpster as debris is produced rather than waiting until your project is complete to start loading your debris into your disposal container.
\r\n\r\nThis not only helps you maintain a safe, clean working environment, but it eliminates many dangers associated with sorting through large piles of building material that can contain nails and other sharp objects.
\r\n\r\nRoll-off dumpster rentals have a swinging side door(s) that make loading any large or heavy items easier than having to throw it over the top of the dumpster, which can make these types of containers ideal for renovation projects that include the removal of old fixtures, furniture, or appliances.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGetting multiple quotes is one of the best ways to get the best price for any service, and dumpster rental is no different.
\r\n
When it comes to the dumpster rental industry, locally-owned and operated companies tend to have much more competitive and flexible pricing than their larger, nationwide competitors.
\r\n\r\nIf you're in need of full-service debris removal or a temporary dumpster rental, Hometown can help you get in contact with locally-owned companies in your area for free quotes.
\r\n\r\nBy entering your zip code and answering a few short questions about your debris disposal needs, you'll been shown licensed and insured junk removal and dumpster rental companies that service your area.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, you can read more about each company and the services they offer, as well as read reviews from real customers to get an idea of the quality of the services they provide.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend getting several different quotes to not only compare pricing, but customer service and availability as well.

\r\n\r\nWhen some of this trash includes food, however, it's important to plan ahead to prevent critters from sneaking into your dumpster and creating an unsightly mess on your property.
\r\n\r\n![\"How](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/critter-dumpster-info-01_0.png\")
\r\n\r\n\r\nThe easiest and best way to make it harder for critters to get into your dumpster rental is to make sure any top flaps or doors stay closed when you aren't actively using it.
\r\n\r\nBecause most residential dumpster rentals do not come with a top for enclosing the dumpster, the next best option is to place it where it is least accessible for critters.
\r\n\r\nFor example, if you can place it inside of a garage, shed, pole barn, or similar structure, that is a great way to keep critters and the elements out of your dumpster.
\r\n\r\nIf you're worried about your garage or barn's floor getting damaged by the dumpster, you can place wood boards underneath the roll-off container's steel wheels (check with your rental company to see if they provide these), or you can rent a trailer dumpster instead.
\r\n\r\nTrailer dumpsters can typically accommodate the same type of disposal projects that standard roll-off dumpsters can, but they feature rubber wheels that protect your driveway and garage floor from any potential damage.
\r\n\r\nIf you don't have the option to place a dumpster in a structure, placing the dumpster in a bright, well-lit area often makes critters less comfortable making themselves at home in your dumpster, too.
\r\n\r\nIf you don't have a structure or bright lights to place your dumpster under, don't worry.
\r\n\r\nThere are other ways to keep unwanted pests and critters from digging through your dumpster.
\r\n\r\nLearn more: How Dumpster Rental Companies Protect Your Driveway
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTemporary residential dumpster rentals have open tops for easy loading, but these exposed openings can sometimes attract unwanted pests.
\r\n\r\nA simple and affordable solution is to place a tarp over the top of the container and use bungee cords to hold the tarp in place whenever the dumpster is not in use.
\r\n\r\nNot only does this keep most critters from being able to access your dumpster, but it also keeps out precipitation and helps deter others from illegally dumping in your container.
\r\n\r\nIt's important to make sure rain, snow, and hail do not collect in your rental so that you don't go over your weight limit.
\r\n\r\nLearn more about weight limits, average dumpster rental prices, and more by reaching out to local companies near you.
\r\n\r\nSearch your zip code on Hometown, fill out a single quote request form, and send it to multiple companies near you.
\r\n\r\nGetting multiple dumpster rental quotes will not only help you get the best price, but it will help you get the best customer service and the availability your project requires.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile WM is a great, affordable option for regularly scheduled residential trash pickup services, their dumpster rentals are oftentimes more expensive in comparison to locally-owned dumpster rental services.
\r\n
\r\n
The 20 yard roll-off container is the most commonly rented dumpster option that WM offers, so we'll compare WM's average price for this size to other service providers throughout the country.
\r\n\r\n![\"20](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/20-yard-dumpster-comparison-infographic.png\")
\r\nNationwide, the average cost to rent a 20 yard dumpster from Waste Management is $450-$650.
\r\n\r\nWe compared rental prices for a 20 yard Waste Management dumpster to the average cost to rent a 20 yard dumpster from smaller, locally-owned haulers in 48 metro areas across the U.S.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRenting from a local hauler instead of Waste Management costs around $100-$200 less on average.
\r\n
Local haulers offer much lower dumpster rental prices than Waste Management. In most markets, it's not even close.
\r\n\r\nLocal haulers charge $350-$550 on average for a 20 yard dumpster, while Waste Management charges $450-$650 on average for a container of the same size.
\r\n\r\nSometimes companies include a low amount of weight in their price, which can make a company look like the cheaper option at first, but you could end up paying extra in the end if you go over your dumpster weight limit.
\r\n\r\nIn our survey, the amount of weight included in the price was similar, with local haulers offering slightly more on average.
\r\n\r\nLocal haulers include 7,230 lbs on average in their price for a 20 yard container, and WM offers 6,850 lbs on average for the same size.
\r\n\r\nDumpster rental overage fees usually come into play if you exceed the included weight of the dumpster.
\r\n\r\nHaulers typically price extra weight on a per-ton basis (per 2,000 lbs), though some will pro-rate additional weight.
\r\n\r\nAgain, extra charges for additional weight were similar between local haulers and WM, with a slightly lower average price for the locally-owned haulers.
\r\n\r\nLocal haulers charge $54 per additional ton on average, while WM charges $62 on average per additional ton.
\r\n\r\nThe cost results from each market surveyed can be found in the chart below.

\r\n\r\nWaste Management is the largest waste and recycling company in North America, with over 21 million customers throughout the United States and Canada.
\r\n\r\nIt’s a good company, and we have great respect for WM’s green initiatives and sustainability leadership.
\r\n\r\nBut if you're looking for a good price on a temporary dumpster, you generally won't find it at Waste Management.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith their impressive truck fleet and mastery of logistics, WM’s scheduled curbside collection is highly efficient and often more affordable than local haulers, but WM’s size and scale actually work against it for renting dumpsters.
\r\n
Roll-off dumpster rental is temporary, often not scheduled far in advance, and typically involves a phone call or text message for booking and another for pick-up, which are not WM's strengths.

Pricing information collected in 2019
\r\n\r\nMany people don't realize that there are three different types of companies that rent dumpsters, and understanding the distinction between them can save you money.
\r\n\r\nWe always recommend hiring from a local dumpster company because they generally provide better customer service and better prices.
\r\n\r\nYour other two options—renting from a large national hauler or from a dumpster broker—are almost always more expensive for lower quality customer service.
\r\n\r\nAlong with better prices, local dumpster companies also tend to offer better customer service.
\r\n\r\nEnsure you get the best price by getting several dumpster rental quotes from rental companies in your area.
\r\n\r\nHometown is a convenient, easy-to-use search engine that allows you to instantly connect with vetted and insured dumpster companies in your local community.
\r\n\r\nContact as many companies as you'd like to compare free quotes—we recommend getting at least three estimates to make sure you get the best price for your dumpster rental when you need it as well as great customer service.
