Gaining an understanding of dumpster rental sizes and their measurements can go a long way towards assisting you to make the right choice for your waste removal job. However, it can be challenging to estimate the precise quantity of trash that a specific job will produce. Thankfully, there are a selection of dumpster sizes that can fit any waste removal job you may have. Explaining your project to your dumpster rental representative is a great way to get an idea as to the size you’ll require, but there are also some common projects that dictate certain sized dumpster to give you an idea of what to anticipate.

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

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

Basement, Garage or Attic Cleanouts: Sorting through unwanted objects or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more space or room in your home. The normal sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. However, if you are disposing of large items or appliances, then a 20 cubic yard dumpster rental solution would be better.

Full Home Cleanout Projects: If you’re undertaking 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 average sized home. Bigger homes, however, could benefit from utilizing a 30 cubic yard dumpster to deal with all the unwanted items you’re removing.

Landscaping Projects: In general, yard work and landscaping waste materials won’t need to have a huge amount of dumpster volume. Because of this, these types of projects typically only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it involves a large amount of tree branches.

Contracting Work: The ideal dumpster rental solution for contracting work or large scale projects would be the 40 cubic yard option. Anytime you anticipate a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a greater sized dumpster is the best bet. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will demand a unique heavy-duty dumpster.

The weight of the waste you’re disposing of will mainly depend on the materials they’re made out of. If you need help deciding or are not sure of which dumpster would best fit your needs, simply contact Discount Dumpster Rental Columbus at (844) 923-1888 and our helpful staff will get you set up quickly and easily.

What Can I Expect to Pay for a Dumpster Rental in Columbus?

Generally,you can expect to pay around $200 to $1,000 for a roll-off container rental in Columbus. Dumpsters for rent in Columbus can vary in fees based on different things.

One of the main factors you need to think about is the size of the roll off container. 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 more or less $200. If you get 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 verify the final costs with the company before handing over your hard earned cash.

When you rent a dumpster the two most significant factors in its cost will be its size and the length of time you’re renting it for. The types of waste and substances you’ll be disposing of in it may also play a role in cost. 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 necessitate a dumpster specially intended for heavy items. There are unique guidelines that will keep the dumpster within specific weight restriction depending on the size you have chosen.

Here are some typical points that could also factor into the dumpster’s cost:

– How heavy the waste materials are.
– Waste that would be deemed hazardous materials.
– Possible landfill fees for sizeable items such as mattresses or big appliances.
– Charges for exceeding the dumpster’s weight limitation.
– Any permits that must be gathered.
– Extending the initial period of rental for the dumpster.

Does Columbus Require a Permit for Dumpster Rentals and Placement?

The main factor in whether you’ll require a dumpster rental permit or not in Columbus is the area in which you intend on putting it. Dumpster permits are generally only required if you are placing your roll off container on specific areas outside your home. Places like sidewalks, streets and various other public areas are the most frequent places that may require a permit. The conditions for placing a dumpster on public property change between areas, but in general you will generally not need one for putting it on your own property.

You can prevent needing to acquire a permit altogether in Columbus by simply renting a dumpster that is the ideal size for your driveway or other area on your property. If you own your home then you’ll hardly ever require a permit as long as you maintain the dumpster on your property and not the public’s. When in doubt, the local Public Works office in your municipality can always confirm if you will need a permit or not. Or, you can always take a look at their website and just fill out whatever form you need for the permit. Also, if you are part of a Homeowner’s Association, it would be a fine idea to check with your representatives to find out about any local rules you may need to adapt to.

Make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck when disposing of waste material on your next home improvement, landscaping or construction venture. There’s no better, not to mention more affordable, way to dispose of unwanted trash than renting an easy-to-use dumpster.
