When it’s time to clean out an apartment or other rental unit, the quickest and easiest method is to hire a junk removal service. We’ll briefly touch on other methods but the best overall option is to use the services of a junk removal company.
\r\n\r\nGet three or more junk removal quotes before booking the appointment. This helps ensure you’re getting the best deal. It also helps weed out junk removal companies that cannot meet your project timeline.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nWhile many junk removal companies offer “prices as low as $99” and similar phrasing, a junk removal rental unit cleanout is a much bigger job that will cost more than the minimum price.
\r\n\r\nThe exact cost of a rental unit cleanout project will vary based on:
\r\n\r\nTotal costs can vary widely from about $500 on the lower end to $1,500+ for large and complex cleanups requiring a full day or longer to complete.\r\n\r\n
Check with multiple junk removal companies to get the best rates.
\r\n\r\nThe costs can vary several hundred dollars between junk removal companies, so doing your due diligence can really payoff for projects like this.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Large](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/fast-junk-removal.jpg\")
\r\nA key benefit of having a junk removal company handle the cleanout is the speed and efficiency in which they complete the job; they are professionals, and it’s what they do every day.
\r\n\r\nA good junk removal company can complete an average size rental unit cleanout in as little as a half-day, or about 3-4 hours.\r\n\r\n
The key is to choose a junk removal company with a positive reputation of providing great service.
\r\n\r\nYou can read online reviews and get recommendations via word of mouth to be sure you’re choosing a reputable junk removal service.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"dumpster](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/dumpster-rental-for-rental-unit.jpg\")
\r\nIf DIY is your preference, you can rent a dumpster to accommodate the cleanout.
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster or 20 yard dumpster is adequate for most rental unit cleanups.
\r\n\r\nLarger dumpsters may be required for rental units and/or those containing a lot of waste and junk, including bulky furniture and other items.
\r\n\r\nThe national average cost of a 10 yard dumpster is $350, and the average cost for a 20 yard dumpsters is $450.
\r\n\r\nThe actual cost of your rental may be lower or higher depending on where you live.
\r\n\r\nThere are many benefits to renting a dumpster for rental unit cleanouts:
\r\n\r\nHometown makes it easy to find reputable dumpster rental companies near you.
\r\n
\r\nBrowse dumpster rental companies based on your zip code, read customer reviews for each company, and request quotes from multiple dumpster rental providers to ensure you pay a fair price for great services.

\r\nHiring a junk removal service or renting a dumpster are not the only options available for rental unit cleanout projects.
\r\n\r\nWhile there is more work involved compared to the aforementioned options, clearing out and hauling away all your stuff from the rental unit yourself is always an option.
\r\n\r\nThis cleanout method requires more time and sweat to get the job done, but it can work. You’ll probably need a trailer, van, and/or pickup truck to do the hauling.
\r\n\r\nThe downside is that you will need to handle the cleanout, the loading, and the disposal.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen you hire a junk removal service, you don’t have to do any of the dirty work or heavy lifting yourself. Renting a dumpster requires loading your dumpster yourself.
\r\n
The thing to keep in mind is that a large project like this will take a lot of time to “DIY it” unless you have the experience and all the right tools, equipment, and manpower to attack it. It’s easy to underestimate the overall scale of the project.
\r\n\r\nIt’s also important to compare the cost of dumpster rental to hauling it yourself.
\r\n\r\nInitially, hiring a junk removal service comes with a bit of sticker shock but when weighing the benefits described previously, it softens the blow.
\r\n\r\nOn the flip side, doing the project yourself will likely take longer, require far more effort, and all for not that much (if any) cost savings.
\r\n\r\nDon’t forget to consider landfill dump fees, and the cost of fuel required to haul the load from the rental unit. If several trips are required, overall costs can add up quickly.
\r\n\r\nIt still may be a cheaper option, but be sure to consider the time and effort involved before deciding on your plan of action.

\r\n\r\nEvery company is different, but even after you’ve agreed to a quote that fits your budget, there are a number of factors that can affect the cost of your dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAt Hometown, we understand the importance of planning and budgeting for your home improvement projects, which is why we’ve compiled everything you need to know about cost variations for dumpster rentals.
\r\n
The average cost to rent a dumpster is anywhere from $300-$500, but the cost you will pay depends on a number of factors.
\r\nWe’ll go over what affects the cost of dumpster rental:
\r\n\r\n![\"factors](\"/sites/default/files/migrate_images/factors-that-affect-price-of-dumpster-rentals_2.png\")
\r\nThe most obvious factor that will affect the price you’ll pay for a dumpster rental is the size of the dumpster you choose.
\r\n\r\nDumpster sizes are measured by their cubic yardage, and the most common sizes are 10 yards, 20 yards, 30 yards, and 40 yards.
\r\n\r\nA very costly mistake that many dumpster rental customers make is underestimating the amount of space their project will require.
\r\n\r\nOpting for a dumpster that is smaller than you need will require you to rent an additional dumpster, which will end up costing you more than renting one dumpster of a larger size.
\r\n\r\nFor example, say you rent a 10 yard dumpster for $300, but after loading your dumpster, realize that you still have another 10 yards worth of items to be disposed of.
\r\n
\r\nIn this scenario, renting another 10 yard dumpster for $300 to finish your project means that you paid double the price you were expecting to.
\r\n
\r\nIf you had rented a 20 yard dumpster at the average cost of $400, you would have saved a couple hundred dollars.

\r\n\r\nMost dumpster rentals have an included weight limit in their base price.
\r\n\r\nExceeding that included weight limit will have overage fees per additional ton that you add to your dumpster.
\r\n\r\nThese overage fees can add up quickly, especially when disposing of heavy material like brick and concrete.
\r\n\r\nOverage fees vary from company to company, but the average cost is $60-$100 per additional ton.
\r\n\r\nMuch like the size of dumpster containers, underestimating the weight of your debris or garbage can be a costly error that can be avoided by renting a larger dumpster than you think you’ll need.
\r\n\r\nGiving yourself additional space also comes in handy when unexpected hiccups happen during your project, like realizing you need to replace your drywall halfway through your renovation.

\r\n\r\nWhen getting dumpster rental quotes from different companies in your area, be sure to be as detailed as possible when describing the type of material you’ll be putting in your dumpster.
\r\n\r\nMany companies will offer discounted rates to dumpsters that are “clean loaded,” meaning that they are only used for one type of recyclable construction material, like shingles or concrete.
\r\n\r\nBecause recycling is a cheaper disposal method than dumping at the landfill, the savings incurred by the dumpster rental company get passed down to you.
\r\n\r\nYou can also expect a much higher rental cost if you put unauthorized material into your dumpster.
\r\n\r\nThere are standard types of household hazardous waste that are typically banned from being dumped in landfills, causing dumpster rental companies to also ban them from their rentals.
\r\n\r\nIgnoring these rules will not only get you higher fees on your final bill but could have the potential to get you ticketed and fined, depending on your jurisdiction
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\n![\"landfill](\"/sites/default/files/migrate_images/dumping-at-the-landfill_0.png\")
\r\nThe landfill fees near you will have a huge impact on what is considered a competitive dumpster rental price in your area.
\r\n\r\nDumpster rental companies are charged by landfills based on weight, and the weight landfills charge per ton is indicative of the cost of living (COL) in that particular area.
\r\n\r\nThe national average landfill tipping fee in 2020 was $53.72 per ton, but can be as high as $140 per ton in places like New York City.
\r\n\r\nWhere you live will come into play in other ways than just landfill fees.
\r\n\r\nIf you live off the beaten path and it takes a significant amount of travel time to get to your location, it’s reasonable to assume that you could be charged more than someone that lives within a few miles of the same rental company.
\r\n\r\nIt’s also important to keep in mind that depending on where you live, you may need to place your dumpster in a public right of way, which will likely require a permit.
\r\n\r\nUsually, dumpster rental companies will apply for and receive the appropriate permits on your behalf, but any fees that they incur for these permits will be passed on to you.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe standard length of a dumpster rental is one week.
\r\n\r\nThis can usually be amended but will depend entirely on the rental company’s policies.
\r\n\r\nIf you only need a dumpster for a day, it’s worth asking if you can have a discounted rate for a quick turnaround time.
\r\n\r\nIf you need to extend the length of your rental, that can usually be accommodated for a modest fee of $10-$20 per additional day, on average.

\r\nWho you hire matters when it comes to the price of any service, and dumpster rental is no different.
\r\n\r\nNational waste management companies tend to charge more for their dumpster rentals than small, locally-owned companies.
\r\n\r\nBeyond just that, no two companies are made the same.
\r\n\r\nSome companies have larger operations, which require higher expenses, and other companies have less overhead fees than others.
\r\n\r\nNot to mention, you never know when a business might be running a promotion.
\r\n\r\nIt’s not uncommon for companies to give senior or military discounts, or to decrease pricing during their slower months.
\r\n\r\nFor these reasons, we highly recommend contacting at least 3 locally-owned companies for a dumpster rental estimate.
\r\n\r\nNot only will this help you find the best price point, but it will also ensure that you get great customer service, too.

\r\n\r\nThere are several options to dispose of interior demolition debris, and each option has its pros and cons.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe disposal method that is right for you depends on your budget and access to each respective service.
\r\n
Look closely at each disposal method to determine the best option for your project.
\r\n\r\nDumpsters are particularly convenient and cost-effective for interior demolition projects.
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster can accommodate an average size demolition project, including:
\r\n\r\nLarger interior demolition projects may require the use of a 20, 30, or 40 yard dumpster—or a combination of dumpsters—to complete the cleanup.
\r\n\r\nSome dumpster rental companies offer trailer dumpsters, which are driveway-safe alternatives to traditional roll-off containers. This may be a good option for residential use.

\r\n\r\nBag-style dumpsters, such as Waste Management’s “Bagster”, have become increasingly popular in recent years.
\r\n\r\nThese bag dumpsters come in various sizes but most are in the 3 cubic yard or less range.
\r\n\r\nFor a full bathroom, kitchen, or other big interior demolition project, a bag dumpster is likely not going to accommodate the amount of debris generated.
\r\n\r\nFor small demolition projects, such as flooring removal in one large room or two small rooms, a bag-style dumpster may work.
\r\n\r\nThe cost of Bagster and similar bag dumpsters can be deceiving.
\r\n\r\nWhile the purchase of the bag dumpster seems affordable in the $50 range, that doesn't include pick-up!
\r\n\r\nThese additional charges vary by location but will generally add another $100 to $200 to your bottom line.
\r\n\r\nInstead of investing $150+ for a 3 cubic yard bag dumpster, spend another $100 or so to rent a 10 yard dumpster—you get more loading capacity and less restrictions compared to bag dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nRenting a roll-off container from the start will save you some headaches.
\r\n\r\nThis could be a viable option if you have access to a truck and/or trailer that can accommodate the volume of debris, and a construction & demolition (C&D) landfill is relatively close to your location.
\r\n\r\nHauling the debris to the landfill yourself may seem like the most cost-efficient option initially, but that’s not always the case.
\r\n\r\nIt’s important to factor in time spent driving, cost of gas, wear and tear on the vehicle and/or trailer, landfill hours of operation, dump fees, restricted items, and number of trips it will take to dispose of all the debris.
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\nOne of the most convenient and quick ways to dispose of interior demolition debris is to hire a junk removal company to come clean it up for you.
\r\n\r\nThis can save quite a bit of cleanup time depending on the project.
\r\n\r\nJunk removal fees generally start at around $100 for small junk pickups and go up from there.
\r\n\r\nFor an interior bathroom demolition, for example, the cost to hire a junk removal company to clean up the debris will likely be $300 - $500+; it really just depends on your location and how much debris you have, as well as the type of debris.
\r\n\r\nThe advantage of this option is the time-saving aspect.
\r\n\r\nInstead of spending hours cleaning up post-demo, you can work on other projects and leave the “mess” to the junk removal company.
\r\n\r\nIt’s worth comparing the cost of junk removal vs dumpster rental when determining the best disposal option for your project.
\r\n\r\nSometimes, it is very comparable.
\r\n\r\nWhen costs are similar, going with a junk removal service may be the better option.

\r\n
The cost of obtaining the bag dumpster from the manufacturer or an authorized retailer (e.g., Home Depot, Amazon, Lowes, etc.) varies but generally costs $25 to $35. However, this fee does not include the pickup/disposal cost.
\r\n\r\nBelow, we'll give some examples of the average pick-up costs for popular dumpster bags as well as traditional roll-off dumpster costs to help you make the best, most cost-effective choice for your disposal project.
\r\n\r\n![\"bag](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/bag-dumpster-vs-dumpster-costs-infographic.jpg\")
\r\nThe Bagster from Waste Management is currently the most well known and widely available dumpster bag option.
\r\n\r\nThis dumpster offers 3 yards of capacity, unless you are loading heavy debris, then you are limited to 1 yard.
\r\n\r\nPricing varies by location.
\r\n\r\n![\"Bull](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/bull-bag-pickup_0.jpg\")
\r\nBull Bag is a Bagster alternative that is not as widely available.
\r\n\r\nAs of 2022, Bull Bag is available in select locations within the following states: Connecticut, New York, Florida, Rhode Island, Maine, Texas, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
\r\n\r\nThere are several dumpster bag capacities available, including 4, 6, 8, and 10 yards.
\r\n\r\nAvailability is minimal for YellowSack.
\r\n\r\nAs of 2022, YellowSack is only available in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco.
\r\n\r\nThe large dumpster bag option offers 2.6 yards of capacity.
\r\n\r\nPick-up costs vary based on the type of waste or debris.
\r\n\r\n![\"Gator](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/gator-dumpster-bag-pickup.jpg\")
\r\nThe Gator Dumpster Bag is another dumpster bag option that is only available in a few states.
\r\n\r\nAs of 2025, these 3.2 yard capacity dumpster bags are available in Rhode Island and parts of Massachusetts.
\r\n\r\nMost dumpster rental companies provide all-inclusive prices that include pick-up and disposal. For example, the average cost of a 10 yard dumpster is $250-$450 to rent and this cost includes drop-off, pick-up, and disposal up to a certain weight limit.
\r\n\r\nThe only potential additional fees include overage fees for going over your included weight limit or overfilling the dumpster, or for disposing of items that are prohibited. However, these additional fees could apply to any type of dumpster rental, including dumpster bags. It all depends on the dumpster company’s policies.

\r\nWe encourage anyone in need of bulk waste disposal to explore their options. It’s easy to be drawn in by the low upfront costs of dumpster bags, but there's more to consider. Bag dumpster pick-up costs add more than $300 to the cost in many cases.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMost dumpster bags have limited capacity, and this is a limitation you need to consider before using one.
\r\n
It’s easy, and quite common, to underestimate the amount of debris or junk you have to dispose of. That 3 yard Bagster can fill up fast, and if there’s debris leftover, you may need to order a second (or more) Bagster to complete the job. This is an expensive mistake and one you can avoid with some due diligence. Bagster does offer discounts on multiple bag pick-ups, but the costs can still add up quickly.
\r\n\r\nA Bagster purchased in Austin, TX costs $30 for the bag and $219 for the pick-up once you’re finished loading it. This makes the total cost approximately $249 for 3 cubic yards of loading capacity.
\r\n\r\nHowever, let’s say there is 2 yards of debris leftover. A second Bagster to complete the job costs $30 plus a discounted pick-up rate of $179. When it’s all said and done, the total cost comes out to $458 for disposal of 5 cubic yards of debris.
\r\n\r\nA traditional 10 yard dumpster rental in Austin, TX can cost as little as $300 ($400 is typical) for a 7-day rental. This saves you money and gives you more loading capacity compared to the cost of the Bagster.
\r\n\r\nThe moral of the story is to make sure you compare your options when determining the best means of disposal for your particular project. Consider the whole scope of the project—from the type and amount of debris to the total out-the-door cost for disposal—when choosing whether to buy a bag dumpster or rent a traditional roll-off container or trailer dumpster.

\r\n\r\nIn this guide, we'll discuss what dumpster overage fees are, how much they typically cost, and how to avoid them.
\r\n\r\n![\"dumpster](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/dumpster-overage-fees-infographic.png\")
\r\nOverage fees are the costs incurred during a temporary dumpster rental for not following the rules of the dumpster agreement.
\r\n\r\nThese additional fees can easily be avoided if the proper care is taken.
\r\n\r\nWhen renting a temporary dumpster, a specific amount of weight is included in your price.
\r\n\r\nFor example, a 10 yard dumpster weight allowance is 2 tons (4,000 lbs) on average, although dumpster weight allowances often vary from company to company.
\r\n\r\nThis means that, in this situation, if you fill your 10 yarder with more than 2 tons of material—which would be easily done with heavy debris, like concrete, brick, roofing shingles, or soil—you'll have to pay an overage fee.
\r\n\r\nDumpster weight overage charges can only be assessed after your debris is weighed at the landfill, so if you're not paying attention to the weight and materials going into your dumpster, you may be surprised when you have to pay more for your rental than your initial quote.
\r\n\r\nIf your debris weighs more than the amount of weight included in your dumpster rental agreement, you will receive an additional charge for the extra weight.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nOverage fees vary by company but typically range from $75-$100+ per ton.
\r\n\r\nOftentimes, this overage charge is applied whether you go a full ton over or not, while others will prorate their overage fees.
\r\n\r\nFor example, let's say you rent a company's 20 yard dumpster with a weight allowance of 7,000 lbs (3.5 tons) for $400 and a $100 per ton non-prorated overage fee.
\r\n\r\nYou rent the dumpster, fill it up with your debris and junk, and call the company to pick it up and take it away.
\r\n\r\nLater, you see that you are being charged $500 because your debris ended up weighing in at 4 tons at the landfill (1/2 a ton over your weight allowance).
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"woman](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/understand-dumpster-agreement.png\")
\r\nUnderstanding and following your dumpster rental agreement is how you can avoid dumpster overage charges.
\r\n\r\nThis typically starts by having a good understanding of your project and debris removal needs when reaching out to companies, allowing you to choose the right dumpster size with an adequate weight allowance.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you abide by your dumpster rental rules and conditions, your final bill should reflect your initial quote.

\r\n\r\nWe'll discuss these options and how to get the lowest price for your bulk waste pick-up.
\r\n\r\nDepending on where you live, your city or township may offer bulk waste pick-up services.
\r\n\r\nMost areas require you to schedule your pick-up and pay for it ahead of time, while some may have designated dates and times for bulk waste pick-ups.
\r\n\r\nYour weekly trash pick-up service likely offers this service as well, but when the service is available and what items are allowed will vary from one location to the next.
\r\n\r\nIf you aren't on a time schedule and these services are available in your area, these curb pick-up services may be the most affordable option.
\r\n\r\nWhen these services aren't available or you need to get rid of a large amount of junk and trash as quickly as possible, renting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal service is the best route.
\r\n\r\nIf your municipal trash service is Waste Management, you may qualify for the Bagster service.
\r\n\r\nWaste Management offers the Bagster, which is a 3 yard \"bag dumpster\" made of soft, sturdy material that can be purchased online or at home goods stores for around $30.
\r\n\r\nHowever, they can range anywhere from $120-$300 to pick up.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMany people assume that Bagsters are less complicated and cheaper than renting a real dumpster because they are much smaller, but oftentimes, that couldn't be further from the truth.
\r\n
Roll-off dumpsters and trailer dumpsters are the most common styles of temporary dumpster rentals that come in a range of sizes.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n10-40 yard dumpsters are the most popular sizes offered and are perfect for getting rid of bulk amounts of junk at once.
\r\n
Both roll-off and trailer dumpsters feature an open top to make loading fast and convenient, while their sturdy side walls hold at least 3x the amount of items that a Bagster can for around the same price.
\r\n\r\nTemporary dumpster rentals are perfect for projects that produce large amounts of garbage, like hoarding cleanups, tenant cleanups, estate cleanouts, and more.
\r\n\r\nAnother option for getting rid of bulk waste is to hire a junk removal company to come and take care of everything.
\r\n\r\nRather than taking the time to load a temporary dumpster yourself, a junk removal crew will load and haul your bulk waste so that you can focus your attention on more important matters.
\r\n\r\nWhile junk removal is typically a more expensive option than renting a dumpster, the cost of convenience is priceless for many.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nCity collection programs and municipal trash pick-up services don't typically negotiate their pricing and are set based on the cost of living, fuel prices, and landfill fees in your area.
\r\n\r\nUnlike nationwide chains, like Waste Management or Republic Services, locally-owned and operated dumpster rental and junk removal services offer the most competitive pricing and have more control and flexibility when it comes to their services.
\r\n\r\nThe number one way to ensure you get the best price for dumpster rental or the cheapest junk removal service in your area is by contacting multiple companies for free quotes.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNot only does price shopping allow you to compare costs, but it's the best way to ensure you get the best customer service in your area with the availability you require.
\r\n
Hometown can help you do your research—find local companies near you, read more about the work they do, read real customer reviews, and request quotes from as many companies as you'd like.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend getting a minimum of 2-3 different estimates for the best results.
\r\n\r\nBy simply entering your zip code and answering a few quick questions about your bulk waste pick-up, you'll be shown licensed and insured companies that service your area.

Your best source of information in this case is your dumpster rental company. They have experience in dealing with a wide variety and quantities of waste and debris. They can help you choose the ideal container size with relatively precise accuracy. If you choose to estimate the amount of debris yourself, you can measure it and convert it to cubic yards. One cubic yard is equal to a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft pile of debris. That’s about the volume of a standard kitchen stove. Estimating the weight of a load is extremely difficult, and so it’s best to consult your dumpster provider to determine if your load is likely under the weight allowance for a particular container size.
\r\n\r\nOne week is a standard rental period, although it’s not uncommon to find some dumpster rental companies offering 14-day rentals included in the price. Some may even charge a daily fee for rental, which could end up being a better deal in cases where you only need the container on site for a day or two. If you need a dumpster for longer than the rental period, you can request it for longer and pay a “late fee” of typically $5 or $10 per day. Many rental companies cap the maximum length of the rental due to inventory issues. To have a debris box picked up prior to the end of the rental period, simply call the company and request a pick-up.
