Dumpster costs vary based on the location of where you are looking to rent, as well as the other factors mentioned above. For example, during the busy dumpster rental months (e.g., spring), dumpsters are in limited supply, so costs may be slightly higher during this time. On the other hand, slow times of the year may get you a better deal on a container.

How to rent a dumpster in Alexandria in four easy steps

Follow the process listed below to ensure you have a smooth dumpster rental experience:

• PLAN AHEAD OF TIME

  Renting a dumpster is generally not a spur of the moment thing. Determine your project’s disposal needs at least two weeks ahead of time. Call at least a week in advance to book the dumpster, or two week in advance during busy months (spring, summer and fall). That way you can rest assured knowing the dumpster will be there when you need it.

• GET MULTIPLE QUOTES FROM PROS

  Be sure you’re getting the best price, dumpster and service for your project by getting quotes from multiple dumpster provideres. Our recommendation is for you to contact at least two or three.

• PREP FOR DROP-OFF

  Make sure the drop off location has easy access and no obstructions, such as cars, furniture, kid’s toys, or even fences (if applicable).

• FOLLOW THE DUMPSTER LOADING GUIDELINES

  Avoid the headaches later on and: Don’t over-fill the dumpster, avoid disposing of prohibited items (e.g., hazardous wastes), don’t mix trash in with clean loads (e.g., concrete only), and follow other guidelines given to you by the dumpster rental company.

If you follow those 4 easy steps, you’ll find the experience to be much more smooth! If you need any assistance, feel free to call us for fast and friendly help!

What’s the Best Sized Dumpster to Use for My Project in Alexandria?

10 Yard Dumpster

10 yard roll off dumpsters hold approximately 4 pick-up trucks of waste material. These dumpsters are most often used for smaller projects such as garage/basement clean outs, small bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, small roof replacements up to 1500 sq ft or a small deck removal up to 500 sq ft.

20 Yard Dumpster

20 yard roll off dumpsters hold approximately 8 pick-up trucks of waste material. They’re often used for projects like flooring or carpet removal for a large house, roof replacements up to 3,000 sq ft, deck removal up to 400 sq ft, or large garage/basement clean outs.

30 Yard Dumpster

30 yard roll off dumpsters hold about 12 pick up trucks of waste material. They are most often used for projects like new home constructions, large home additions, siding or window replacements for a small to medium sized house, or garage/basement demolition.

40 Yard Dumpster

40 yard roll off dumpsters hold approximately 16 pick up trucks of waste material. They’re often used for large projects like commercial clean outs, window replacement or siding for a large home, large home renovations, large construction projects, or large commercial roofing projects.

When renting a dumpster you’ll want to first take into consideration how much trash you’ll be generating and which sized dumpster would be best. In general, it’s a good idea to make certain you have a little room left over in your dumpster so you aren’t stuck needing it to be emptied and returned to you again. It’s also necessary to understand that dumpsters not only have space limits, but also weight limitations. There are popular projects that are associated with certain dumpster sizes, and you can get a general idea of what you’ll require based on the jobs outlined below.

Below are just a few of the standard jobs customers have used our dumpsters for and the sizes that may be right for your own project:

Basic Remodeling or General Garbage Removal: Each person’s undertaking is unique, but in general a 20 cubic yard dumpster is adequate for a single room remodel or cleanup. A 20 cubic yard dumpster rental will take care of about 6 truckloads of waste, unless you have much larger objects like appliances you’re getting rid of.

Remodeling Multiple Rooms: If you have more than just one room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a great idea to upgrade to a 30 cubic yard dumpster size. This size will make sure you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but rather it would only take one trip.

Basement, Garage or Attic Cleanouts: It’s a good idea to clear out excess items from your home’s storage areas to free up more space. For the average home storage area, a simple 10 or 15 cubic yard dumpster is perfect. However, if you are getting rid of large items or appliances, then a 20 cubic yard dumpster rental option would be a great deal better.

Cleaning Out a Full Home: For things such as furniture or large appliances that you’re cleaning out of your home, a 15-20 cubic yard dumpster would be perfect for the average house. For larger sized homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a considerably better option since it would amount to about 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Landscaping Projects: Landscaping, yard or gardening jobs typically only produce a small amount of waste that will not take up a sizeable amount of space in a dumpster. Because of this, these types of projects typically only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it involves a large amount of tree branches.

Construction Projects: For large renovation, home improvement or construction initiatives a big dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. If you have a large renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a lot of waste materials to dispose of. Keep in mind, if you will be disposing of very heavy objects such as concrete or bricks, you’ll want a specially designed dumpster to handle that.

How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Dumpster in Alexandria?

In general,you can expect to pay around $175 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Alexandria. Dumpsters for rent in Alexandria can vary in cost based on a few factors.

One of the biggest factors you need to consider is the size of the roll off dumpster. You must plan which type of bin to get so you can avoid paying excessive rental fees. For small types of bins, you can expect to pay more or less $200. If you get a larger dumpster, you may spend close to $1000. Most rental companies include the travel costs into the final bill without you even knowing. Always double check the final rates with the company before handing over payment.

The main variables that will determine the standard dumpster rental is the size and length of time it needs to be rented for. Next, it’s important to consider the types of materials you’ll be disposing of. There are several types of waste, particularly heavy objects, that may necessitate a specifically designed dumpster in order to support them. Heavy debris such as concrete, roofing shingles and dirt may call for a dumpster specially intended for heavy items. There are unique guidelines that will keep the dumpster within certain weight restriction depending on the size you have selected.

Below are some of the typical factors that might effect the price of renting a dumpster:

– How heavy the waste materials are.
– Hazardous materials or waste requiring special disposal procedures.
– Landfill fees on specific things such as appliances or large furniture.
– Charges for exceeding the dumpster’s weight restriction.
– Perhaps needing to obtain municipal permits for your area.

Will I Require a Permit for Dumpster Rentals in Alexandria?

For most clients in the Alexandria area obtaining a permit for a dumpster rental placement will not be a problem. In general, a permit won’t be needed as long as you are able to position the dumpster on your own private property, such as your driveway or other location you own. Typical places that are regarded as public access areas, such as sidewalks and parking lots, may fall under municipal guidelines and end up requiring a permit for dumpster placement.

You can prevent needing to acquire a permit altogether in Alexandria by simply renting a dumpster that is the appropriate size for your driveway or other area on your property. If you own your home then you’ll seldom require a permit as long as you keep the dumpster on your property and not the public’s. When in doubt, the local Public Works office in your municipality can generally confirm if you will need a permit or not. Or, you can always visit their website and just fill out whichever form you need for the permit. Keep in mind that if you’re part of a neighborhood Homeowner’s Association, then you might want to check out the local guidelines to see if they include rules around dumpster rental placements.
