20 Yard Dumpster

20 yard roll off dumpsters hold approximately 8 pick-up trucks of waste material. They’re often used for projects like flooring or carpet removal for a large house, roof replacements up to 3,000 sq ft, deck removal up to 400 sq ft, or large garage/basement clean outs.

30 Yard Dumpster

30 yard roll off dumpsters hold about 12 pick up trucks of waste material. They are most often used for projects like new home constructions, large home additions, siding or window replacements for a small to medium sized house, or garage/basement demolition.

40 Yard Dumpster

When renting a dumpster you’ll want to first think about how much trash you’ll be creating and which sized dumpster would be best. In general, it’s a good idea to make sure you have a little room left over in your dumpster so you aren’t stuck requiring it to be emptied and returned to you again. Being familiar with the weight limits of each dumpster is a pivotal fact as well, especially if you’re disposing of heavy materials like asphalt or roofing. Generally, there are certain dumpster sizes that will match the usual trash removal jobs that a person will be carrying out, 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:

Remodeling or Waste Removal: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is perfect for remodeling a single room in your residence, or performing a basic cleanup. This size dumpster can carry around six truckloads of trash, which is ordinarily sufficient, but you may need a bigger one for rooms with numerous cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Remodeling Multiple Rooms: When remodeling several rooms in your residence or having contracting work performed a 30 cubic yard dumpster is typically an ideal option. This size will guarantee 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: Cleaning out unwanted items or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more space or room in your home. The common sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. However, if you are getting rid of large items or appliances, then a 20 cubic yard dumpster rental choice would be a great deal better.

Cleaning Out a Full Home: For items such as furniture or large appliances that you’re cleaning out of your home, a 15-20 cubic yard dumpster would be best for the typical house. 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 generally only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a large amount of space in a dumpster. Therefore, the common yard project will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are planning on disposing of a lot of tree branches or full shrubbery.

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

You don’t want to find yourself spending more cash than you have to, so it’s crucial to take into account the size, weight and amount of waste you’ll be disposing of. In the end, renting a dumpster from Discount Dumpster Rental Houston is always more efficient and will save you money over traditional waste disposal alternatives.

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

In general,you can expect to pay around $180 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Houston. Dumpsters for rent in Houston can vary in fees based on many things.

One of the biggest factors you need to think about is the size of the roll off dumpster. 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 around $200. If you require a larger dumpster, you may spend close to $1000. Most rental providers include the travel costs into the final bill without you even knowing. Always double check the final fees with the provider before handing over your hard earned cash.

One of the most frequent questions we hear is how is a dumpster rental rate determined? The first way a dumpster rental’s cost is determined by which size you select for your job. The more waste it can hold, the higher the rate on average. The next factor in cost is how long, or how many days, you’ll need your dumpster rental for. Other than those two points, the types of materials you’ll be putting in the dumpster may also have an impact on price. Very heavy waste objects such as concrete or asphalt will require a special heavy-duty dumpster in order to handle such a load. It’s important to take this into consideration, as you may not end up filling up your dumpster to the top, but you could still go beyond its weight capacity depending on the type of waste you’re disposing of.

Also be aware of the following guidelines that might factor into the price of your dumpster rental:

– How heavy the waste materials are.
– Hazardous materials or waste necessitating special disposal treatments.
– Landfill fees on particular goods such as appliances or large furniture.
– Going above your dumpster’s weight limit.
– Getting ahold of local permits.
– Requiring to rent the dumpster for a longer period of time than initially rented for.
