How to rent a dumpster in Columbus in four easy steps

  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.

20 Yard Dumpster

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 task. Estimating the volume of your waste can be challenging, as it usually takes up more room than you’d imagine at first. There are a range of various dumpster sizes that are perfect to match any garbage removal requirements for your projects. Although it’s always a fine idea to describe your project in depth when renting a dumpster so we can help you select a suitable size, below are some good examples of typical jobs and the average sized dumpster you’ll want to rent.

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

Trash Removal or Basic Remodeling: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is best for remodeling a single room in your residence, or performing a general cleanup. A 20 cubic yard dumpster rental will handle about 6 truckloads of waste, unless you have bigger objects like appliances you’re getting rid of.

Multi-Room Contracting Jobs: 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 sure that you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but rather it would only take just one trip.

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: It’s a great idea to clear out unwanted items from your home’s storage areas to free up more space. The normal sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. If you have big items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Cleaning Out a Full Home: If you’re undertaking a home cleanup and are removing furniture items, then you’ll probably want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the average sized home. Much bigger homes, however, could benefit from making use of a 30 cubic yard dumpster to deal with all the unwanted items you’re removing.

Landscaping or Yard Work: 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. Therefore, the ordinary yard project will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are planning on disposing of many tree branches or full shrubbery.

Construction Projects: The most effective 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 safest bet. 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.

If you have inquiries or are still not sure which sized dumpster would be the most effective for your project, you can always give Discount Dumpster Rental Columbus a call at (844) 923-1888 and after telling us a little bit about your needs, we’ll get you squared away in no time at all.

What Can I Expect to Spend on a Dumpster Rental in Columbus?

In general,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 variety of factors.

One of the main factors you need to think about is the size of the bin. 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 services include the travel costs into the final bill without you even knowing. Always double check the final fees with the company before handing over your credit card information.

You may be asking yourself, how is the fee for my dumpster rental going to be determined? The primary way in which dumpster rental rates are determined is by the size/volume of the container. The larger and more volume the dumpster holds, the higher rate it will have. The next factor in cost is how long, or how many days, you’ll need your dumpster rental for. 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. It’s essential to take this into consideration, as you may not end up filling up your dumpster to the top, but you could still surpass its weight capacity depending on the type of waste material you’re disposing of.

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

– How heavy the waste materials are.
– Waste that must be specifically disposed of.
– Extra landfill fees for certain objects in some states, such as appliances or mattresses.
– Charges for going over the dumpster’s weight limitation.
– Perhaps needing to obtain municipal permits for your area.
– Needing to rent the dumpster for a longer period of time than initially rented for.

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 location in which you intend on putting it. You’ll usually only require a permit if you have to place your dumpster on public property. This commonly includes the street sides, sidewalks or some other areas considered public property. The conditions for placing a dumpster on public property are different between areas, but in general you will usually not require one for putting it on your own property.

Your current Public Works or Building Department in Columbus is in charge of enforcing construction regulations and providing permits for things like dumpster positioning on public property. You can either visit the office in person and fill out the form there or they’ll ordinarily just have an electronic form on their website to fill out. After you fill out the brief form, just submit it to the office. This can take place either in person, online or over the phone. These applications should be approved within 24 business hours, so you won’t have to wait long and it shouldn’t hold up your project. How much your permit will cost depends on where you’re placing it, the type of project you’re undertaking and how long it will occupy public property for.
