Renting the proper sized dumpster for your trash removal job is the most critical decision you’ll make during the rental process. It’s always significantly better to overestimate your needs than being caught blindsided by a dumpster that’s too small for your needs, but you also don’t want to spend more money and take up more space on your premises than you have to. It’s also essential to understand that dumpsters not only have space restrictions, but also weight limits. 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.

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

General Garbage Removal or Remodeling Projects: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is perfect for remodeling a single room in your residence, or performing a basic cleanup. A 20 cubic yard dumpster rental will handle about 6 truckloads of waste, unless you have larger items like appliances you’re getting rid of.

Multi-Room Remodeling: When remodeling various rooms in your home or having contracting work done a 30 cubic yard dumpster is usually an ideal option. This size will make sure you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but rather it would only take a single trip.

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: 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. If you have sizeable items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Complete Home Cleanout: For stuff 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 typical house. Much larger homes, however, could benefit from utilizing a 30 cubic yard dumpster to deal with all the unwanted items you’re getting rid of.

Landscaping Projects: Landscaping, yard or gardening jobs typically only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a sizeable amount of space in a dumpster. Because of this, these sorts of projects typically only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it consists of a large amount of tree branches.

Construction Projects: For large renovation, home improvement or construction projects a big dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be ideal. If you have a massive renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a lot of waste materials to dispose of. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will need a unique heavy-duty dumpster.

Despite the fact that these are just typical guidelines for the most popular projects that require a dumpster, they will give you an idea of the size you’ll need when performing them. The best way to establish the size you’ll need is to call Discount Dumpster Rental Columbus at (844) 923-1888 and simply tell us a bit about your requirements and we’ll get you set up right away.

Does Columbus Require a Permit for Dumpster Rentals and Placement?

If you plan on placing the dumpster on public property or an area outside your own property in Columbus, then a city permit may be needed first. Most of the time a permit may be required if you’re using the dumpster for a construction, cleanup or renovation project that necessitates the dumpster to be placed on what’s regarded as public property. This includes areas such as sidewalks, street sides and other public areas. In general, a permit will not be necessary as long as the dumpster is being placed on your own property such as a driveway.

One of the best ways to avoid needing a permit is to simply rent a dumpster size that is best suited for your own driveway or property. This will ensure that you can avoid putting it on public property and perhaps having to acquire a permit. When in doubt you can also check with the Columbus Public Works Department. A good number of areas do not require a permit as long as the dumpster rental will not be positioned on public property or get in the way of public access. However, if you do need a permit, applying for one is as easy as visiting the Columbus Public Works website and filling out the required information.
