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 figuring out which size is the best for your specific needs can be challenging. The majority of people tend to underestimate the amount of space and volume of the materials they’re disposing of, so it’s always more beneficial to be on the safe side when choosing a dumpster size. However, you don’t want to go overboard and rent a monstrous 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? Here are some of the standard jobs that dumpster rentals are perfect for and the sizes that match effectively with them.

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

General Garbage Removal or Remodeling Projects: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is best 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 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 ensure you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but rather it would only take a single trip.

One Room Storage Area Cleanout: It’s a great idea to clear out excess 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.

Complete Home Cleanup Projects: If you’re undertaking a home cleanup and are getting rid of furniture items, then you’ll likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the regular sized home. Much bigger homes, however, could benefit from employing a 30 cubic yard dumpster to take care of all the unwanted items you’re getting rid of.

Yard or Landscaping Work: In general, yard work and landscaping waste materials won’t require 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 Work: For large renovation, home improvement or construction initiatives a large dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be ideal. If you have a substantial renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a whole lot of waste materials to dispose of. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will need a specific heavy-duty dumpster.

If you have a particularly special project or are unsure of the dumpster size that would be the best fit for you, you can always call our specialists at (844) 923-1888 and simply tell us a little bit about the waste materials you’re disposing of.

For small types of bins, you can expect to pay around $200. If you get a larger dumpster, you may spend close to $1000. Most rental providers include the travel costs into the final bill without you even knowing. Always verify the final rates with the provider before handing over your hard earned cash.

When you rent a dumpster the two most important factors in its cost will be its size and the length of time you are renting it for. The types of waste and materials 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 require a specifically designed dumpster in order to support them. Heavy debris such as concrete, roofing shingles and dirt may require a dumpster specifically intended for heavy items. There are actually unique guidelines that will keep the dumpster within specific weight restriction based upon the size you have chosen.

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

– Weight of items.
– Hazardous materials or waste requiring special disposal procedures.
– Landfill fees on particular goods such as appliances or large furniture.
– Charges for going over the dumpster’s weight limit.

Does Columbia Require a Permit for Dumpster Rentals and Placement?

Sometimes a permit is needed to put a dumpster outside of your property, depending on the local guidelines and rules of your area in Columbia. A permit might also be necessary if you are taking part in a construction, cleanup or renovation project that requires the dumpster to be positioned in a location other than your driveway, such as the sidewalk or alongside the street. In most cases you won’t need to worry about getting a permit as long as you’re putting the dumpster on your own private property, with a customer’s driveway being the most prevalent location.

In order to stay away from having to obtain a permit in Columbia, it’s always better to make sure the dumpster rental size is suitable to be placed on your own property, such as on your driveway. In this case you have complete control over placement and can stay clear of permit requirements. Applying for a permit is a fairly swift and simple process, however, as simply visiting Columbia’s Public Works website and filling out the right form will get the job done. In the case of a customer being a part of a local Homeowner’s Association, you’ll want to verify with your representative to see if they have guidelines associated with dumpster placement.
