How to rent a dumpster in Elkins Park 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).

  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.

The first thing you’ll want to do when renting a dumpster is get a general idea of the sizes on the market and types of jobs each one will fit. You don’t want to end up going over the dumpster’s weight limitation or space, and you definitely don’t want to rent one too massive for your project and end up with too much leftover volume. Renting the best dumpster for your job will save you a lot of money and time over hauling the garbage all by yourself. You could possibly be amazed by how quickly a dumpster can fill up once you’re throwing your trash in it, so here are some handy tips to help you decide on the best sized dumpster for your demands.

Below are just a few of the typical jobs customers have used our dumpsters for and the sizes that could possibly be right for your own project:

General Waste Removal or Remodeling Projects: Each person’s project is unique, but in general a 20 cubic yard dumpster is sufficient for a single room remodel or cleanup. This size dumpster can hold around six truckloads of trash, which is generally more than enough, but you may need a larger one for rooms with many cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Home Remodeling: If you have more than a single room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a good 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 just one trip.

Basement, Garage or Attic Cleanouts: Cleaning up unwanted items or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more room or space in your home. The normal sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. If you have large items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Complete Home Cleanout Projects: If you’re performing a home cleanup and are getting rid of furniture items, then you’ll probably 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 considerably better choice since it would amount to about 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Yard Work or Landscaping: Landscaping, yard or gardening work normally only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a large amount of space in a dumpster. Therefore, the average yard project will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are thinking about disposing of a lot of tree branches or full shrubbery.

Contracting Work: For large renovation, home improvement or construction initiatives 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. Keep in mind, if you will be disposing of very heavy objects such as concrete or bricks, you’ll need a specially designed dumpster to handle that.
