How to rent a dumpster in Lancaster 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).

• FOLLOW THE DUMPSTER LOADING GUIDELINES

  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.

How Large Will My Dumpster Need to Be for My Project in Lancaster?

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 right sized dumpster is the most crucial factor in having your waste removal job go smoothly. 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 big for your job and end up with too much leftover volume. Dumpster rentals are a great way to save both effort and cash over alternative trash removal choices 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 particular job 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: Each person’s undertaking is unique, but in general a 20 cubic yard dumpster is sufficient for a single room remodel or cleanup. A 20 cubic yard dumpster rental will handle about 6 truckloads of waste, unless you have much larger items like appliances you’re getting rid of.

Multi-Room Remodeling Projects: If you have more than just one room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a very good idea to upgrade to a 30 cubic yard dumpster size. This permits for a greater volume of trash to be effortlessly disposed of and will ensure you don’t need multiple trips to dispose of it.

One Room Storage Area Cleanup: It’s a good idea to clear out unwanted items from your home’s storage areas to free up more space. The typical sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. However, if you are disposing of large items or appliances, then a 20 cubic yard dumpster rental choice would be much better.

Complete Home Cleanup Projects: 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 standard house. For much larger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a considerably better option since it would amount to around 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Landscaping Projects: Landscaping, yard or gardening work typically only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a sizeable amount of space in a dumpster. Because of this, these types of projects usually only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it involves a large amount of tree branches.

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

In order to stay clear of spending more on a large dumpster that you won’t make use of fully you’ll want to carefully consider the weight of the waste you’re disposing of. In the end, renting a dumpster from Discount Dumpster Rental Lancaster is always more efficient and will save you money over standard waste disposal alternatives.

What Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Lancaster?

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

One of the main factors you need to consider is the size of the bin. 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 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 verify the final rates with the company before handing over payment.

The first step in deciding the cost of your dumpster rental is to decide on the size you’ll require. Rental costs will increase with dumpster sizes, which are specified in cubic yards. The other deciding factor is how long, or how many days, you’ll be renting the dumpster for. You can always call to have a dumpster taken out if you are finished with it earlier than expected as well. Rental costs are typically based on a daily rate, but there are a few other factors that may factor into the final cost of your rental.

Below are some of the popular factors that might effect the price of renting a dumpster:

– Total weight of the waste items.
– Waste that must be specially disposed of.
– Additional landfill fees for certain physical objects in some states, such as appliances or mattresses.
– Going above your dumpster’s weight limit.
– Getting ahold of local permits.
– Keeping the dumpster for longer than the original rental period.

Will I Need a Dumpster Rental Permit in Lancaster?

The main aspect in whether you’ll need a dumpster rental permit or not in Lancaster is the location in which you intend on setting it. Dumpster permits are generally only needed if you are positioning your roll off container on certain areas outside your home. Places like sidewalks, streets and other public areas are the most frequent places that may require a permit. The requirements for placing a dumpster on public property change between areas, but in general you will typically not require one for putting it on your own property.

One of the most effective ways to avoid needing a permit is to simply rent a dumpster size that is suitable for your own driveway or property. This way you can have complete control over the dumpster’s placement and won’t have to worry about permits in most cases. When in doubt you can also check with the Lancaster Public Works Department. As long as the dumpster doesn’t get in the way of public access most areas won’t require a permit for placement. However, if you do require a permit, applying for one is as easy as visiting the Lancaster Public Works website and filling out the required information.

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. Renting a dumpster is a super quick process and is the most affordable solution for the service you’ll receive.
