How to rent a dumpster in Chicago 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.

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.

  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.

How Large Will My Dumpster Need to Be for My Project in Chicago?

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

There is always a perfect sized dumpster for every task, but determining which size is the best for your particular needs can be tricky. Most people tend to underestimate the amount of space and volume of the items they’re disposing of, so it’s always better to be on the safe side when choosing a dumpster size. You most certainly won’t need to rent a super large dumpster if you’re just clearing out your garage or basement. So how can you make a decision on the right container size for your waste removal job? Here are some of the typical jobs that dumpster rentals are ideal for and the sizes that correspond perfectly with them.

Typical Projects and Dumpster Sizes Needed to Complete Them

Waste Removal or Basic Remodeling: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is ideal for remodeling a single room in your home, or performing a basic cleanup. A 20 cubic yard dumpster rental will take care of about 6 truckloads of waste, unless you have 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 certain you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but rather it would only take one trip.

One Room Storage Area Cleanout: 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 best. If you have large items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Full Home Cleanup Projects: If you’re performing a home cleanup and are getting rid of furniture items, then you’ll most likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the regular sized home. For bigger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a more beneficial option since it would amount to about 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Landscaping Projects: Landscaping, yard or gardening jobs usually 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 usually only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it involves a large amount of tree branches.

Contracting Work: For large renovation, home improvement or construction tasks a large dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. If you have a sizeable renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be lots of waste to dispose of. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will demand a unique heavy-duty dumpster.

The size and volume of the dumpster you rent will mostly depend on the amount and weight of the materials you’re disposing of. If you need assistance deciding or are unsure of which dumpster would best fit your needs, simply call Discount Dumpster Rental Chicago at (844) 923-1888 and our helpful staff will get you set up swiftly and easily.

To estimate the cost that goes along with renting a dumpster, it really is important to first decide on the dumpster size that you’ll require for your project. As the size of the dumpster you’re renting increases, as does the price. Next, is the length of time or how many days you’ll need the rental for.

– Total weight of the waste.
– Waste that would be deemed hazardous materials.

– Getting ahold of local permits.
