It’s always better to be on the safe side and guarantee you have a big enough dumpster to manage the waste you’ll be disposing of, but you also don’t want to spend more cash than you need to. You most certainly won’t need to rent a super large dumpster if you’re just clearing out your garage or basement. So how can you make a decision on the right container size for your waste removal job? Here are some of the typical jobs that dumpster rentals are perfect for and the sizes that match perfectly with them.

Dumpster Sizes for Popular Projects

Remodeling or Waste Removal: 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 larger items like appliances you’re getting rid of.

Multi-Room Contracting Jobs: When remodeling several rooms in your home or having contracting work done a 30 cubic yard dumpster is usually an ideal option. This permits for a greater volume of trash to be easily disposed of and will guarantee you don’t need numerous trips to dispose of it.

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: Cleaning out unwanted items or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more space or room in your home. For the average home storage area, a simple 10 or 15 cubic yard dumpster is excellent. If you have large items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Full Home Cleanout Projects: If you’re performing a home cleanup and are removing furniture items, then you’ll likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the regular sized home. Bigger homes, however, could benefit from working with a 30 cubic yard dumpster to deal with all the unwanted items you’re getting rid of.

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

Construction Work: The best dumpster rental solution for contracting work or large scale projects would be the 40 cubic yard option. If you have a big renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be lots of waste materials to dispose of. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will require a unique heavy-duty dumpster.

How Much Do Harrisburg Dumpster Rentals Cost?

In general,you can expect to pay around $200 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Harrisburg. Dumpsters for rent in Harrisburg can vary in price based on a few factors.

One of the major 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 extra rental fees. For small types of bins, you can expect to pay more or less $200. If you need 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 verify the final fees with the company before handing over your hard earned cash.

You may be asking yourself, how is the fee for my dumpster rental going to be decided? 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 require a special type of dumpster that can handle these heavy loads. For this reason, it’s important to think about the types of materials you’ll be tossing in the dumpster, as even if it’s returned only part of the way filled, it may still exceed its weight capacity in the end.

Cost of your dumpster rental may also be impacted by the following:

– Overall weight of the waste items.
– Waste that would be deemed hazardous materials.
– Extra landfill fees for certain materials in some states, such as appliances or mattresses.
– Exceeding your dumpster’s weight limit.
– Potentially needing to acquire municipal permits for your area.
– Increasing the initial period of rental for the dumpster.

Are There Permit Requirements for Dumpster Rentals in Harrisburg?

For the majority of cases the average customer will not require a dumpster permit, but there are a few cases where it might be needed. For example, if you plan to place the dumpster on a residential street side in Harrisburg that would typically be reserved for vehicle parking, a permit may be needed by your municipality.

Your current Public Works or Building Department in Harrisburg is accountable for enforcing construction rules 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 in most cases just have an electronic form on their website to fill out. Merely fill out the correct form provided and submit it to the department. You can generally perform this either in person, over the phone or online. Your application should be authorized within 24 hours of submission, which means it won’t hold you up or prevent your dumpster from being delivered on time. How much your permit will cost depends on where you’re positioning it, the type of project you’re carrying out and how long it will occupy public property for.

Make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck when disposing of waste materials on your next home improvement, landscaping or construction job.
