How to rent a dumpster in Houston 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. Call at least a week in advance to book the dumpster, or two week in advance during busy months (spring, summer and fall). 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.

• PREP FOR DROP-OFF

  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.

There are many different projects you may find yourself undertaking in Houston that would benefit from a dumpster rental such as landscaping and home improvement work, but there’s one question you have to ask yourself. How am I planning to remove all this rubbish? It will have to go somewhere, and what could be easier than renting the right sized dumpster for your job that will be delivered and removed as needed. The good news is renting a dumpster is much easier than most people believe.

When seeking to rent a dumpster in Houston, you’ll first want to get a general idea of the choices and sizes that are readily available to you. There are a range of dumpster sizes that are perfect to fit any sized task from a quick garage cleanout to a large scale home improvement project.

Which Sized Dumpster Should I Rent for My Houston Project?

10 Yard Dumpster

10 yard roll off dumpsters hold approximately 4 pick-up trucks of waste material. These dumpsters are most often used for smaller projects such as garage/basement clean outs, small bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, small roof replacements up to 1500 sq ft or a small deck removal up to 500 sq ft.

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

40 yard roll off dumpsters hold approximately 16 pick up trucks of waste material. They’re often used for large projects like commercial clean outs, window replacement or siding for a large home, large home renovations, large construction projects, or large commercial roofing projects.

Renting the appropriate sized dumpster is the most crucial factor in having your waste removal project go smoothly. You don’t want to end up going over the dumpster’s weight restriction or space, and you definitely don’t want to rent one too massive for your project and end up with too much leftover volume. Dumpster rentals are a fantastic way to save both effort and money over alternative trash removal options like driving to the landfills yourself. The following are some handy tips when trying to decide on which size dumpster to go with for your specific project so you can be sure you won’t go overboard or underestimate the required space.

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

General Trash Removal or Remodeling Projects: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is ideal 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 numerous rooms in your residence or having contracting work done a 30 cubic yard dumpster is normally 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.

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: Cleaning up unwanted items or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more space in your home. The regular 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 selection would be far better.

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 regular sized home. For much larger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a far better option since it would amount to about 9 regular truckloads of waste.

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

Contracting Projects: For large renovation, home improvement or construction initiatives a big dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. Anytime you expect a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a larger sized dumpster is the safest bet. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will demand a specific heavy-duty dumpster.

The weight of the waste you’re disposing of will generally depend on the materials they’re made out of.

What Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Houston?

Generally,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 variety of factors.

One of the largest factors you need to consider 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 need a larger dumpster, you may spend close to $1000. Most rental companies 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 credit card information.

The main variables that will determine the typical dumpster rental is the size and length of time it needs to be rented for. Next, it’s important to consider the types of materials you’ll be disposing of. Waste items that are heavy, like bricks, would require a special heavy-duty dumpster that can accommodate such materials. Heavy debris such as concrete, roofing shingles and dirt may require a dumpster specially intended for heavy items. There are unique guidelines that will keep the dumpster within specific weight restriction based upon the size you have selected.

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

– Weight of materials.
– Hazardous materials or waste demanding special disposal procedures.
– Potential landfill fees for big items such as mattresses or big appliances.
– Charges for going over the dumpster’s weight limit.
– Any permits that must be gathered.
– Increasing the initial period of rental for the dumpster.

Does Houston Require Permits for Dumpster Rentals?

Most of the time potential customers won’t have to worry about acquiring a permit for their dumpster rental in the Houston region. In general, a permit won’t be needed as long as you are able to position the dumpster on your own private property, such as your driveway or other location you own. Only when you find yourself needing to place the dumpster on public property, such as sidewalks or parking areas on the side of the road, that certain municipalities will need permits issued.

Your Public Works or Building Department in Houston is accountable for enforcing construction rules and issuing permits for things like dumpster placement on public property. Once you make contact with them they will give you with the appropriate application form, or you can usually just visit their website.

These applications should be accepted within 24 business hours, so you won’t have to wait long and it shouldn’t hold up your job.
