name=\"styles\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Dumpster Rental&nbsp;Styles</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>There are several different dumpster styles available to accommodate all different types of disposal needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>The main dumpster styles on the market are:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Roll-off Containers</li>\r\n\t<li>Trailer Dumpsters</li>\r\n\t<li>Bag Dumpsters</li>\r\n\t<li>Commercial Dumpsters</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>The most common type of temporary dumpster rental is a <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll-off_(dumpster)\" title=\"Wikipedia Roll-off Dumpster Definition\">roll-off container</a>, which is literally rolled off the back of a dumpster truck and placed on your driveway, parking lot, in the street, etc.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>These heavy-duty containers feature an open top and swinging side door(s) that make loading the dumpster very easy.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>The convenience of being able to walk your heavy or bulky items into a roll-off container rather than having to&nbsp;lift it over the sides makes it the preferred dumpster style for those getting rid of furniture, appliances, equipment, concrete debris, etc.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>Trailer dumpsters are a handy alternative to roll-off dumpsters that also feature an open top, but its most attractive feature is the fact that it sits on rubber wheels.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A trailer dumpster's rubber wheels and compact design make it easy to move or reposition as needed throughout the duration of your rental as long as you have a vehicle with a hitch.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you live in a rental unit that requires your dumpster rental to sit in a public street, you may be able to avoid having to get a dumpster permit by renting a trailer dumpster instead of a roll-off container, which can only be moved with the dumpster company's commercial vehicle.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You will likely need to move the trailer dumpster daily in order to avoid needing to get a permit from your city or township.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The local dumpster companies you speak with will know about the permit requirements where you live and will likely get the dumpster permit&nbsp;for you if necessary.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bag dumpsters are large, soft bags that can hold up to 3 yards worth of material and up to 3,300 lbs.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bag dumpsters are convenient if you live in an apartment or condo that does not allow you to rent a regular size dumpster, but if you're renting a home or business with the parking space to rent a roll-off or trailer dumpster, you can get rid of at least 3x as much material for a comparable price.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dumpster bags aren't the most cost-efficient, but they are great when your space is limited.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, commercial dumpsters are rented from business tenants and are there long-term with weekly or bi-weekly emptying services.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Commercial dumpsters are rarely ever rented as a temporary disposal solution, but some companies may allow this if you have specific sizing requirements or they have a surplus of commercial dumpster containers and limited roll-off options.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Continue reading:</strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/dumpster-styles\"

Sizes</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Temporary dumpsters are sized by how many cubic yards they can hold.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The most popular size temporary rentals are 10 yard and <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/shorts/V87Od6E2uEQ\" title=\"How Big is a 20 Yard Dumpster? \">20 yard dumpsters</a>, but they can come in a wide variety of sizes.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are dumpster rentals that fall in between 10 and 20 yarders, like 12 yard and 15 yard containers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mini dumpsters are sometimes offered and come in 2-9 yard sizes, and 30 and 40 dumpsters are available for the largest size projects.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>If your rental is relatively small and your cleanup project is moderate, a 10 yard dumpster is usually a sufficient size.&nbsp;</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>20 yard dumpsters are better for entire home cleanouts for multiple bed and bathroom properties or small to medium commercial rentals.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>30 and 40 yard containers are used for larger projects, like construction/demolition, hoarding cleanups, commercial projects, etc.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dumpster bags come with a 3 yard capacity, and commercial dumpsters typically range from 2 yard&nbsp;to 10 yard sizes.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A cubic yard measures 1 yard L x 1 yard W x 1 yard H.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>1 yard is 3 feet, so 1 cubic yard is 27 cubic feet.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Choosing the wrong size dumpster can cost you additional money than&nbsp;the quote you were initially give, which is why it's important to provide detailed, accurate information when you speak with different dumpster rental companies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reputable dumpster rental companies are experts at recommending the perfect size container for your particular

href=\"https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dDnKMAktM9M\" title=\"How Much Junk Can Go In a Dumpster Rental?\">filling the container past the fill line</a>, and ensuring you have the proper permits

These durable tires are designed to handle the weight of heavy loads.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Many trailer dumpsters feature a dual design, meaning it has two tires on each side of the axle, which allows for heavier loads and stability.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Because dumpster loads can oftentimes exceed 4 - 6 tons, this is an important feature for cleanups of heavy debris.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Keep reading:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/guide-to-dumpster-weight-limits\" title=\"Dumpster Weight Limits Guide\">Weight Limits for 10, 20, 30, and 40 Yard Dumpsters</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a id=\"sizes\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Trailer Dumpster Sizes</h2>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Most often, you’ll find trailer dumpsters ranging from 10 to 20 cubic yards.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>It’s not common to find trailer dumpsters with 30 yard, 40 yard, or larger loading capacities, although these large-capacity wheeled dumpsters do exist.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Learn more</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-dumpster-sizes\" title=\"The Ultimate Guide to Dumpster Sizes\">Complete Guide to Roll-Off Dumpster Sizes</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a id=\"pricing\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Dumpster Trailer Prices</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>In general, roll-off container prices are the same as trailer dumpster rates. For example, the national <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/roll-off-dumpster-prices\" title=\"Dumpster Cost Guide\">average cost to rent a 10 yard roll-off dumpster</a> is around $300 per week, and there is little to no difference in the cost of a dumpster trailer; the price only goes up when you choose a larger bin.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If price is a concern when choosing a dumpster, be sure to ask the rental provider if one dumpster costs less than the other and why.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Though both types of dumpsters—roll-offs and trailers—may have the same loading capacity, they could have different weight limitations placed on them or other rental terms. This varies by company, so make sure you discuss this with the contractors you speak to.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a id=\"benefits-limitations\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Benefits and Limitations of Trailer Dumpsters</h2>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Rubber-tired dumpsters are an excellent option in some situations but may not be suitable for others.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>Let’s start with the benefits of using a trailer dumpster vs. a roll-off style dumpster:</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Benefits</h3>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Being on rubber tires, these dumpsters provide&nbsp;a more cushioned load on concrete or asphalt compared to roll-off containers with steel wheels, which may reduce the risk of damage to driveways, parking lots, etc.</li>\r\n\t<li>Trailer dumpsters can be maneuvered and placed into locations roll-off containers sometimes can’t.</li>\r\n\t<li>Easier to move to a different location on the property compared to roll-offs</li>\r\n\t<li>Because they are considered trailers, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-get-a-dumpster-rental-permit\" title=\"How to Get a Dumpster Rental Permit\">dumpster permits</a> are not required in certain instances were it would be for a roll-off container.

You’ll find that most dumpster rental providers carry traditional roll-offs, not trailer-style dumpsters.</li>\r\n\t<li>Container swap-outs are usually not available and are usually quite expensive.

A&nbsp;quick rainstorm that comes through and drops an inch of rain can equate to more than 100&nbsp;gallons of water in a 40 yard dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Based on information provided by the <a href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/rain-and-precipitation\">U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)</a>, an inch of rainfall distributed evenly across the square footage of a typical 40-yard dumpster (22 ft L x 8 ft W)&nbsp;would equate to nearly 110 gallons of water.</p>\r\n<img alt=\"how rainfall impacts dumpster weight infographic\" data-align=\"center\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"6cee1ca1-3d7f-4212-9fc3-f128d1cd67fd\" src=\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/how-rainfall-impacts-dumpster-weight-infographic.png\" />\r\n<h3><strong>How much does 110 gallons of water weigh?</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Each gallon of water weighs approximately 8.345 pounds, which means 110 gallons of water&nbsp;weighs just under 917 pounds, or nearly half a ton. This kind of weight can chip away at your included weight limit, increasing the chances of you going over and getting charged extra.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As you can see, one steady rainstorm could be the difference between meeting a dumpster’s weight limit&nbsp;and exceeding it.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Exceeding a dumpster's weight allowance can lead to overage fees averaging $50 to $100 per ton.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>Porous materials, like drywall, wood, trash, and yard debris, soak up water more readily than nonporous materials, so take greater care to keep porous materials dry to ensure a lighter dumpster load.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Note:</strong> Some of the rain and moisture may drain out of the dumpster via drain holes&nbsp;and the door area, so this helps reduce the overall weight of the load but it does not eliminate the risk of going over your weight limit.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Learn more</strong>:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li id=\"keep-dry\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/roll-off-dumpster-prices\" title=\"Lower Your Cost to Rent a Dumpster in 2022\">Lower Your Cost to Rent a Dumpster</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-estimate-the-weight-of-a-dumpster-load-to-avoid-overage-fees\" title=\"Dumpster Weight Limits\">How to Estimate the Weight of a Dumpster Load</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>How to Keep Debris Dry</h2>\r\n<img alt=\"Waste and debris tarped to prevent getting wet\" data-align=\"center\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"904a8d6a-a940-47ea-9bbb-ce496bd66127\" src=\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/debris-tarped-to-keep-dry.jpg\" />\r\n<p>There are several strategies that will work to keep a dumpster load dry in just about any weather.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Wait for Dry Weather</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>If possible, your best bet is to wait to rent the dumpster when the forecast is showing dry conditions. However, if this isn't possible, make sure you are prepared.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Tarp It</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>If rain or snow is in the forecast, keep a large tarp on hand to place over the dumpster when not actively loading it. Some dumpster rental providers may be able to supply the tarp. Make sure to secure the tarp with rope or bungees to avoid it blowing away or shifting and allowing collected rain to fall into the dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Do not allow debris piles&nbsp;to sit uncovered outdoors while waiting to be loaded into the dumpster. As the materials become saturated, they can become much heavier, making it harder to load into the dumpster and increasing the total weight of the load. Tarp or cover debris piles sitting outside to prevent this.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Position Your Dumpster Strategically</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>It may be possible to place a dumpster inside a garage, barn or underneath other types of shelters to help keep it out of the elements. For larger dumpsters, this may not be possible, and some rental companies may not be able to accommodate this request due to equipment limitations.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Keep the Rental Period Short</h3>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"overage-fees\">Rather than allowing the dumpster to sit at your property for seven days (common rental period) or longer, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-rent-a-dumpster-for-a-day\" title=\"How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Dumpster for a Day?\">rent a dumpster for a day</a> or a few days&nbsp;to limit exposure to rain or snow. In some cases, a shorter rental period may also provide a discount depending on the rental company’s policies.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Average Dumpster Overage Fees</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Dumpster rental companies charge a fee for going over the dumpster's weight allowance. Dumpster overage fees&nbsp;are generally around $50 to $100 per ton, though these fees can vary based on each company's policy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even if the weight of the load exceeds the weight allowance by just a few pounds, the dumpster rental company can charge you the fee for a full ton. This is why it’s so important to keep the weight of the load as light as possible.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some dumpster rental companies have no weight limits, however there are limitations. In this case, rental providers generally need to know the type of debris, and you <em>must</em> follow the rules regarding how high the load can go in the dumpster. You cannot load debris and wastes above the top of the container.</p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"callToActionContainer\">\r\n<h3>Save time.

dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dumpsters are relatively inexpensive and allow you to keep your site clean as you go.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-choose-the-right-size-dumpster\" title=\"How to Choose the Right Size Dumpster\">Choosing the right size dumpster</a> for a bathroom

or 20 yard dumpster makes the most sense.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/10-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"10 Yard Dumpster Guide: Convenient Size, Great Price\">10 yard dumpster</a> will likely be adequate for small projects that involve toilet removal, vanity removal, flooring demo, and fixture&nbsp;removal, and cost around <strong>$250-$450</strong> on average for a 5 or 7-day rental period. 10 yard dumpsters can typically contain around 3 truckloads worth of debris and have an average weight limit of 4,000-6,000 lbs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/20-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"20 Yard Dumpster Guide: Versatile and Affordable\">20 yard dumpster</a> may be necessary for larger bathroom demolitions that include&nbsp;wall removal, disposal of large shower units, or removal of large two-sink vanities,&nbsp;and cost around <strong>$350-$550</strong> on average for a 5 or 7-day rental period.&nbsp;20 yard dumpsters can typically contain around 6 truckloads worth of debris and have an average weight limit of 6,000-10,000 lbs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Keep in mind that these are average costs throughout the U.S. and the exact price you'll pay for a similar size container will depend on where you're located, the cost of living in your area, landfill fees near you, the amount of waste you have, the type of waste you have, how long you rent the dumpster, who you hire, and more.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most dumpster rental companies include 5 or 7-day rental periods in their price, but some companies offer single-day rentals, 3-day rentals, or even extended rental periods of multiple weeks for large, ongoing projects.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When renting a dumpster for a bathroom renovation, be sure to measure shower units and vanities (length, width, and height) to ensure they will fit inside your chosen dumpster size.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We recommend getting at least 2-3 <a

That’s certainly the case when it comes to dumpster rentals. So, here are a few tips that help you become a more informed customer when shopping for the <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-get-the-best-deal-on-a-dumpster\" title=\"How to Get the Best Deal on a Dumpster\">best deal on dumpster rentals</a>:</p>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li>Call at least two roll-off container rental companies for quotes. This ensures you’re getting the best deal. You can even barter for a better deal by using one quote as leverage against the other.</li>\r\n\t<li>Avoid overage charges by keeping heavy debris at a minimum (e.g., dirt, concrete, brick, etc.). Likewise, avoid late fees by calling and having the dumpster rental provider pick up the container at the agreed upon date.</li>\r\n\t<li>When on the fence about which bin size to choose, <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\">go with the larger dumpster</a>. The difference in price is minimal compared to the potential of being hit with overage fees later on.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n\r\n<p>Ask about recycling options. It’s often cheaper for the dumpster company to recycle a load rather than dump it at the landfill. They may pass these savings on to you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Learn more:&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/rent-a-recycling-dumpster-sizes-and-costs\" title=\"Rent a Recycling Dumpster: Sizes and Costs\">Rent a Recycling Dumpster: Sizes and Costs</a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>How long is a typical dumpster rental period?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>A <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-long-can-i-rent-a-dumpster\" title=\"How Long Can I Rent a Dumpster?\">7-day dumpster rental period is pretty standard</a>, although this can vary by dumpster rental company. Some companies offer 14-day rental periods included in the price while others may charge a fee for each day you have the container. Most companies allow you to keep the container longer by paying a “late fee,” which typically ranges from $5 to $10 per day. A maximum number of days may apply. You can also have the bin picked up earlier than the agreed upon pick-up date by calling the company and requesting a pick-up.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>How do I&nbsp;estimate the volume of waste?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>This is one of the most difficult aspects of choosing a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-dumpster-sizes\" title=\"The Ultimate Guide to Dumpster Sizes\">roll-off container size</a>. Luckily, rental companies are experienced in handling a wide variety of loads ranging from household junk to roofing shingle debris. They can help you <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/which-dumpster-size-do-i-need\" title=\"Which Dumpster Size Do I Need?\">choose the ideal container size for the job</a>. You can also estimate the amount of debris yourself by physically measuring it and converting it to cubic yards. 1 cubic yard is equal to a 3 ft x 3 ft&nbsp;x 3 ft&nbsp;item or pile of debris. Due to the varying container dimensions, bulky or irregularly shaped items may consume quite a bit of volume in the container. It’s best you discuss this with your dumpster rental provider.</p>\r\n","place":null,"code":"dumpster"}],"related":[{"title":"Commercial Waste Management","url":"wisconsin/commercial-waste-management-crystal-lake-barron-county-wi"},{"title":"Junk - Clean-up or Removal","url":"wisconsin/junk-removal-crystal-lake-barron-county-wi"}],"modal_project_types":[{"name":"Cleanout an Interior Space","service":"junk-removal","projects":[{"id":542,"label":"Cleanout - Basement","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":543,"label":"Cleanout - Commercial","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":544,"label":"Cleanout - Estate","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":545,"label":"Cleanout - Garage","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":546,"label":"Cleanout - Hoarding","service":"junk-removal"}]},{"name":"Cleanup an Exterior Area","service":"junk-removal","projects":[{"id":547,"label":"Cleanup - Storm Recovery","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":557,"label":"Trash Removal","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":558,"label":"Yard Waste Removal","service":"junk-removal"}]},{"name":"Construction & Demolition","service":"junk-removal","projects":[{"id":548,"label":"Construction Debris Removal","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":552,"label":"Light Demolition","service":"junk-removal"}]},{"name":"Large Item Removal","service":"junk-removal","projects":[{"id":540,"label":"Appliance Removal","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":541,"label":"Carpet Removal","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":550,"label":"Furniture Removal","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":553,"label":"Mattress Removal","service":"junk-removal"},{"id":554,"label":"Refrigerator Removal","service":"junk-removal"}]}],"codes":[{"name":"Residential Trash Service","code":null,"paths":{"name":"Residential_Trash_Service","code":null}},{"name":"Excavating","code":null,"paths":{"name":"Excavating","code":null}},{"name":"Septic Tank Service","code":null,"paths":{"name":"Septic_Tank_Service","code":null}},{"name":"Portable Toilets","code":null,"paths":{"name":"Portable_Toilets","code":null}},{"name":"Storage Containers","code":null,"paths":{"name":"Storage_Containers","code":null}},{"name":"Portable Offices","code":null,"paths":{"name":"Portable_Offices","code":null}},{"name":"Temporary Fencing","code":null,"paths":{"name":"Temporary_Fencing","code":null}},{"name":"Equipment Rental","code":null,"paths":{"name":"Equipment_Rental","code":null}},{"name":"Dumpster Rental","code":"dumpster","paths":{"name":"Dumpster_Rental","code":"dumpster-rental"}},{"name":"Junk Removal","code":"junk-removal","paths":{"name":"Junk_Removal","code":"junk-removal"}},{"name":"Commercial Waste Management","code":"comercial-trash-service","paths":{"name":"Commercial_Waste_Management","code":"commercial-waste-management"}}],"seo_desc":[{"name":"Dumpster Rental","code":"dumpster","kg_homepage_seo_desc":"Find Dumpster Rentals","kg_kpp_seo_desc":"Save $50 - $150 when you rent directly from a PLACE_NAME dumpster rental service that's STATE_NAME owned and operated.
