Renting a dumpster to get rid of your excess substances and junk is an excellent, not to mention affordable, solution for a wide range of jobs. They can make cleaning up your garage, attic or basement much easier than trying to cram everything into normal sized garbage cans. There are many sized dumpsters that are fantastic for home projects, and they aren’t just for major construction projects as many people believe. They also are great for landscaping work that will result in yard clippings or branches that need to be disposed of.

When looking to rent a dumpster in Alexandria, you’ll first want to get a general idea of the choices and sizes that are available to you. There are a range of dumpster sizes that are perfect to fit any sized project from a simple garage cleanout to a large scale home improvement project.

How to Determine the Dumpster Size You’ll Need 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 give some thought to how much trash you’ll be generating and which sized dumpster would be ideal. In general, it’s a good idea to ensure you have a little room left over in your dumpster so you aren’t caught requiring it to be emptied and returned to you yet again. It’s also important to understand that dumpsters not only have space restrictions, but also weight restrictions. Usually, there are certain dumpster sizes that will match the common trash removal jobs that a person will be performing, which will give you an idea of what you expect when you’re working on your own project.

The following are the most common projects our customers require a dumpster for and the recommended sizes to rent:

Garbage Removal or Basic Remodeling: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is excellent for remodeling a single room in your residence, or performing a general cleanup. A 20 cubic yard dumpster rental will handle about 6 truckloads of waste, unless you have larger objects like appliances you’re getting rid of.

Home Remodeling: When remodeling several rooms in your house or having contracting work done a 30 cubic yard dumpster is generally an ideal option. This size will guarantee you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but instead it would only take a single trip.

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: Cleaning up unwanted items or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more space in your home. For the average home storage area, a simple 10 or 15 cubic yard dumpster is best. However, if you are disposing of large items or appliances, then a 20 cubic yard dumpster rental solution would be more beneficial.

Complete Home Cleanup Projects: For things such as furniture or large appliances that you’re cleaning out of your home, a 15-20 cubic yard dumpster would be ideal for the typical house. Larger sized homes, however, could benefit from working with a 30 cubic yard dumpster to take care of all the unwanted items you’re getting rid of.

Landscaping or Yard Work: In general, yard work and landscaping waste materials won’t demand a huge amount of dumpster volume. Because of this, these types of projects typically only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it consists of a large amount of tree branches.

Construction Projects: The ideal dumpster rental solution for contracting work or large scale projects would be the 40 cubic yard option. Anytime you anticipate a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a greater sized dumpster is the safest bet. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will call for a specific heavy-duty dumpster.

What is the Average Cost of a Dumpster Rental in Alexandria?

In general,you can expect to pay around $200 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Alexandria. Dumpsters for rent in Alexandria can vary in cost based on many things.

One of the main factors you need to consider is the size of the roll off container. You must plan which type of bin to get so you can avoid paying extra rental fees. For small types of bins, you can expect to pay more or less $200. If you need 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 verify the final rates with the company before handing over your hard earned cash.

When you rent a dumpster the two most crucial factors in its cost will be its size and the length of time you happen to be renting it for. The types of waste and items you’ll be disposing of in it may also play a role in cost. 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 require a dumpster specially intended for heavy items. Its important to know that each sized dumpster has specific weight guidelines, so it’s not always just about filling it up all the way to the top.

Also be aware of the following rules that might factor into the price of your dumpster rental:

– Weight of substances.
– Waste that must be specially disposed of.
– Extra landfill fees for certain objects in some states, such as appliances or mattresses.
– Exceeding your chosen dumpster’s weight limitation.
– Any permits that must be gathered.
– Increasing the initial period of rental for the dumpster.

Will I Need a Dumpster Rental Permit in Alexandria?

For the great majority of cases the average customer will not need a dumpster permit, but there are a few cases where it might be required. For example, if you intend to place the dumpster on a residential street side in Alexandria that would typically be reserved for vehicle parking, a permit may be needed by your municipality.

There is a Public Works Department located in your local Alexandria municipality that is responsible for issuing various permits, including ones for inserting dumpsters on public property. Once you make contact with them they will offer you with the appropriate application form, or you can usually just visit their website. After you fill out the short form, simply submit it to the office. You can typically perform this either in person, over the phone or online. These applications should be approved within 24 business hours, so you won’t have to wait long and it shouldn’t hold up your task. How much your permit will cost depends on where you’re putting it, the type of job you’re undertaking and how long it will take up public property for.
