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

  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.

Choosing a dumpster to remove your unwanted substances and garbage is an excellent, not to mention very affordable, solution for a wide variety of jobs. They can make cleaning up your garage, attic or basement much easier than trying to cram everything into regular sized garbage cans. There are many sized dumpsters that are great for home projects, and they aren’t just for large construction projects as many people think. These dumpsters are also preferred for yard projects or landscaping work, as they provide sufficient volume to dispose of branches or yard clippings.

Here at Discount Dumpster Rental Alpena we have been serving customers in the Alpena area for many years, and always make the effort to provide the best options. Various other waste removal choices are often less efficient and far less affordable than a dumpster rental, and renting a dumpster can be much less difficult than you might think.

There is always a perfect sized dumpster for every job, but working out which size is the best for your particular needs can be tricky. It’s always better to be on the safe side and guarantee you have a large enough dumpster to handle the waste you’ll be disposing of, but you also don’t want to spend more dollars than you need to. However, you don’t want to go overboard and rent a huge dumpster when you’re simply cleaning out your home or moving to a new location. So how can you make a decision on the right container size for your waste removal job? Below are the most common jobs that dumpster rentals are used for and the average sizes that are suitable to handle them.

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

Trash Removal or Basic Remodeling: Each person’s project is different, but in general a 20 cubic yard dumpster is sufficient 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 bigger objects like appliances you’re getting rid of.

Remodeling Multiple Rooms: When remodeling various rooms in your home or having contracting work done a 30 cubic yard dumpster is normally an ideal option. This permits for a greater volume of trash to be effortlessly disposed of and will make sure you don’t need multiple trips to dispose of it.

Basement, Garage or Attic Cleanups: It’s a great idea to clear out undesired 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 ideal. If you have big items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Full Home Cleanout Projects: If you’re carrying out a home cleanup and are doing away with furniture items, then you’ll most likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the average sized home. For bigger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a considerably better choice since it would amount to around 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Yard Work or Landscaping: Landscaping, yard or gardening jobs usually only produce a small amount of waste that will not take up a substantial amount of space in a dumpster. Therefore, the average yard project will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are planning on disposing of a lot of tree branches or full shrubbery.

Contracting Work: For large renovation, home improvement or construction initiatives a big dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be ideal. If you have a sizeable renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a great deal of waste materials to dispose of. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will require a specific heavy-duty dumpster.

In order to avoid spending more on a large dumpster that you won’t make use of fully you’ll want to thoroughly consider the weight of the waste materials you’re disposing of. In the end, renting a dumpster from Discount Dumpster Rental Alpena is always more efficient and will save you money over traditional waste disposal alternatives.

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

In general,you can expect to pay around $185 to $1,000 for a roll-off container rental in Alpena. Dumpsters for rent in Alpena can vary in price based on different things.

One of the main factors you need to think about is the size of the 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 around $200. If you need a larger dumpster, you may spend close to $1000. Most rental services include the travel costs into the final bill without you even knowing. Always double check the final costs with the provider before handing over payment.

You may be asking yourself, how is the rate for my dumpster rental going to be determined? The first way a dumpster rental’s cost is calculated by which size you pick for your job. The more trash it can hold, the greater the rate on average. The length of time you intend to rent the dumpster for in Alpena will also factor into how much it will cost in the end. Aside from those two points, the types of materials you’ll be throwing in the dumpster may also have an affect on price. Very heavy waste items such as concrete or asphalt will require a special heavy-duty dumpster in order to handle such a load. For this reason, it’s important to take into account the types of materials you’ll be throwing in the dumpster, as even if it’s returned only part of the way filled, it might still exceed its weight capacity in the end.

Below are some of the well-known factors that might effect the price of renting a dumpster:

– How heavy the waste materials are.
– Hazardous materials or waste necessitating special disposal treatments.
– Possible landfill fees for sizeable goods such as mattresses or big appliances.
– Charges for going over the dumpster’s weight limitation.
– Getting ahold of local permits.
– Increasing the initial period of rental for the dumpster.

Does Alpena Require Permits for Dumpster Rentals?

The main factor in whether you’ll need a dumpster rental permit or not in Alpena is the location in which you intend on setting it. You’ll generally only require a permit if you have to place your dumpster on public property. Places like sidewalks, streets and additional public areas are the most common places that may require a permit. The requirements for placing a dumpster on public property vary between areas, but in general you will normally not need one for placing it on your own property.

There is a Public Works Department located in your local Alpena municipality that is accountable for issuing various permits, including ones for setting dumpsters on public property. Once you make contact with them they will present you with the appropriate application form, or you can usually just visit their website. After you fill out the short form, just submit it to the office. This can take place either in person, online or over the phone. Your application should be permitted within 24 hours of submission, which means it won’t hold you up or stop your dumpster from being provided on time. Fees affiliated with dumpster rental permits will vary depending on the type of project and length of time the dumpster will occupy public property.
