When renting a dumpster you’ll want to first consider how much trash you’ll be producing and which sized dumpster would be best. In general, it’s a good idea to be sure you have a little room left over in your dumpster so you aren’t caught requiring it to be emptied and returned to you repeatedly. Knowing the weight limits of each dumpster is a pivotal fact as well, especially if you’re disposing of heavy materials like asphalt or roofing. There are typical projects that are associated with certain dumpster sizes, and you can get a general idea of what you’ll require based on the jobs outlined below.

Dumpster Sizes for Common Projects

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

Home Remodeling: When remodeling multiple rooms in your home or having contracting work done a 30 cubic yard dumpster is normally an ideal option. This allows for a greater volume of trash to be effortlessly disposed of and will ensure you don’t need numerous trips to dispose of it.

Garage, Attic or Basement Cleanouts: It’s a good idea to clear out unnecessary 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 selection would be considerably better.

Complete Home Cleanout Projects: For things such as furniture or large appliances that you’re cleaning out of your home, a 15-20 cubic yard dumpster would be ideal for the common house. For larger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a much better option since it would amount to about 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Landscaping or Yard Work: Landscaping, yard or gardening work generally only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a sizeable amount of space in a dumpster. Therefore, the average yard job will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are planning on disposing of numerous tree branches or full shrubbery.

Construction Work: The very best dumpster rental solution for contracting work or large scale projects would be the 40 cubic yard option. Anytime you expect a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a greater sized dumpster is the best bet. 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.

The size and volume of the dumpster you rent will mainly depend on the amount and weight of the materials you’re disposing of. If you are unsure or have questions, simply give our helpful staff a call at (844) 923-1888 and we’ll be happy to assist you.

What Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Merrillville?

In general,you can expect to pay around $195 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Merrillville. Dumpsters for rent in Merrillville can vary in fees based on a few factors.

One of the largest factors you need to consider is the size of the 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 more or less $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 verify the final fees with the company before handing over payment.

When you rent a dumpster the two most significant factors in its cost will be its size and the length of time you happen to be renting it for. The types of waste and items you’ll be disposing of in it may also play a role in cost. Waste items that are heavy, like bricks, would require a special heavy-duty dumpster that can support such materials. Heavy debris such as concrete, roofing shingles and dirt may necessitate a dumpster specially intended for heavy items. Its important to know that each sized dumpster has specific weight guidelines, so it’s not always just about filling it up all the way to the top.

Also be aware of the following rules that may factor into the price of your dumpster rental:

– How heavy the waste items are.
– Waste that must be specifically disposed of.
– Landfill fees on certain products such as appliances or large furniture.
– Going over your selected dumpster’s weight restriction.
– Getting ahold of local permits.
– Trying to keep the dumpster for longer than the original rental period.

Will I Need a Permit in Merrillville for a Dumpster Rental?

The specifications for placing a dumpster on public property vary between areas, but in general you will normally not require one for placing it on your own property.

Your application should be authorized within 24 hours of submission, which means it won’t hold you up or stop your dumpster from being delivered on time. How much your permit will cost you depends on where you’re placing it, the type of job you’re carrying out and how long it will occupy public property for.
