When renting a dumpster you’ll want to first consider how much trash you’ll be producing and which sized dumpster would be ideal. 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 requiring it to be emptied and returned to you once more. It’s also important to understand that dumpsters not only have space limitations, but also weight restrictions. Typically, there are certain dumpster sizes that will match the common trash removal tasks that a person will be performing, which will give you an idea of what you expect when you’re working on your own project.

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

General Waste Removal or Remodeling Projects: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is perfect for remodeling a single room in your residence, or performing a general cleanup. This size dumpster can hold around six truckloads of trash, which is ordinarily adequate, but you may need a bigger one for rooms with a lot of cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Remodeling Multiple Rooms: If you have more than 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 allows for a greater volume of trash to be effortlessly disposed of and will make sure you don’t need various trips to dispose of it.

Storage Area Cleanups: Sorting through unwanted objects 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 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: For objects 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 standard house. Bigger 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.

Yard Work or Landscaping: In general, yard work and landscaping waste materials won’t require a huge amount of dumpster volume. Therefore, the ordinary yard job will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are planning on disposing of many tree branches or full shrubbery.

Construction Work: The ideal dumpster rental solution for contracting work or large scale projects would be the 40 cubic yard option. If you have a massive renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be lots 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 require a specially designed dumpster to handle that.

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

How Much Should I Pay for Renting a Dumpster in California?

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

One of the major factors you need to consider is the size of the bin. You must plan which type of bin to get so you can avoid paying excessive rental fees.

One of the most consistent questions we hear is how is a dumpster rental rate determined? The first way a dumpster rental’s cost is calculated by which size you select for your job. The larger and more volume the dumpster holds, the higher rate it will have. The length of time you intend to rent the dumpster for in California will also factor into how much it will cost in the end. Other than size and length of time the dumpster is being rented for, there may also be charges based upon on the materials you’ll be disposing of. Items with a lot of weight to them, like concrete, bricks or roofing shingles, may demand a special type of dumpster that can handle these heavy loads. For this reason, it’s important to consider 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.

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

– Weight of items.
– Hazardous materials or waste demanding special disposal techniques.
– Landfill fees on certain goods such as appliances or large furniture.
– Going over your chosen dumpster’s weight limitation.
