How to rent a dumpster in Amherst in four easy steps

  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.

How to Determine the Dumpster Size You’ll Need in Amherst?

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.

There’s an ideally suited dumpster size to go with any job from the smallest cleanup operation to the largest of home restorations. It’s always better to be on the safe side and make sure you have a large enough dumpster to manage the waste you’ll be disposing of, but you also don’t want to spend more money than you need to. However, you don’t want to go overboard and rent a massive dumpster when you’re simply cleaning out your home or moving to a new location. So how can you decide 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 ideally suited to deal with them.

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: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is excellent for remodeling a single room in your house, or performing a basic 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.

Multi-Room Remodeling: If you have more than just one room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a good idea to upgrade to a 30 cubic yard dumpster size. 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.

Garage, Attic or Basement Cleanups: It’s a good idea to clear out unwanted 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 choice would be significantly better.

Cleaning Out a Full Home: For items 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 common house. For bigger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a more beneficial choice since it would amount to around 9 regular truckloads of waste.

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

Construction Work: For large renovation, home improvement or construction undertakings a large dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. Anytime you expect a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a larger sized dumpster is the safest bet. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will call for a special heavy-duty dumpster.

If you have a particularly unique project or are not sure of the dumpster size that would be the best fit for you, you can always call up our representatives at (844) 923-1888 and simply tell us a little bit about the waste you’re disposing of.

What Does it Cost on Average to Rent a Amherst Dumpster?

Generally,you can expect to pay around $190 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Amherst. Dumpsters for rent in Amherst can vary in cost based on a few factors.

One of the largest factors you need to think about is the size of the bin. 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 double check the final fees with the provider before handing over your credit card information.

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. Next, it’s necessary to consider the types of materials you’ll be disposing of. Waste products that are heavy, like bricks, would require a special heavy-duty dumpster that can accommodate such materials. Heavy debris such as concrete, roofing shingles and dirt may require a dumpster specially intended for heavy items. Its essential to know that each sized dumpster has particular weight guidelines, so it’s not always just about filling it up all the way to the top.

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

– Weight of substances.
– Waste that would be deemed hazardous materials.
– Possible landfill fees for sizeable objects such as mattresses or big appliances.
– Charges for exceeding the dumpster’s weight limit.
– Any permits that must be gathered.
– Keeping the dumpster for longer than the original rental period.

Should I Apply for a Permit for My Dumpster Rental in Amherst?

Most of the time clients won’t have to get worried about obtaining a permit for their dumpster rental in the Amherst area. In general, a permit won’t be required as long as you are able to place the dumpster on your own private property, such as your driveway or other location you own. Standard places that are considered public access areas, such as sidewalks and parking lots, might fall under municipal guidelines and end up demanding a permit for dumpster placement.

Your current Public Works or Building Department in Amherst is in charge of enforcing construction codes and issuing permits for things like dumpster placement on public property. Once you get in contact with them they will offer you with the appropriate application form, or you can generally just visit their website. Merely fill out the proper form provided and submit it to the department. You can generally perform this either in person, over the phone or online. Your application should be permitted within 24 hours of submission, which means it won’t hold you up or stop your dumpster from being delivered on time. How much your permit will cost you depends on where you’re positioning it, the type of project you’re undertaking and how long it will occupy public property for.
