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.

40 Yard Dumpster

When renting a dumpster you’ll want to first consider how much trash you’ll be producing and which sized dumpster would be ideal. 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 needing it to be emptied and returned to you yet again. Knowing the weight limits of each dumpster is a crucial fact as well, especially if you’re disposing of heavy materials like asphalt or roofing. Normally, 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.

Below are just a few of the typical jobs customers have used our dumpsters for and the sizes that could possibly be right for your own project:

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 take care of about 6 truckloads of waste, unless you have bigger items like appliances you’re getting rid of.

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

One Room Storage Area Cleanup: Cleaning out unwanted items or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more space in your home. The standard sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. If you have big items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Complete Home Cleanout: If you’re performing 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. Larger sized homes, however, could benefit from making use of a 30 cubic yard dumpster to take care of all the unwanted items you’re removing.

Yard Work or Landscaping: In general, yard work and landscaping waste materials won’t demand a huge amount of dumpster volume. Therefore, the typical yard job will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are considering disposing of a lot of 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. If you have a big renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a whole lot of waste materials to dispose of. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will need a special heavy-duty dumpster.

Even though these are just typical guidelines for the most popular projects that require a dumpster, they will give you an idea of the size you’ll require when performing them.

What Does it Cost on Average to Rent a Oakland Dumpster?

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

One of the major factors you need to think about 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 around $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 rates with the provider before handing over payment.

The first step in figuring out the cost of your dumpster rental is to decide on the size you’ll need to have. Rental costs will increase with dumpster sizes, which are designated in cubic yards. The other deciding factor is how long, or how many days, you’ll be renting the dumpster for. However, if the dumpster you rented fills up before the job is finished, you can always arrange to have it taken away before the rental period ends. There are a few other factors besides just the dumpster’s size and rental length that may impact the total cost.

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

– Weight of items.
– Waste that would be regarded as hazardous materials.
– Landfill fees on certain things such as appliances or large furniture.
– Going above your dumpster’s weight limit.
– Potentially needing to acquire municipal permits for your area.
– Requiring to rent the dumpster for a longer period of time than At first rented for.

Does Oakland Require a Permit for Dumpster Rentals and Placement?

If you plan on placing the dumpster on public property or an area outside your own property in Oakland, then a city permit may be necessary first. Most of the time a permit may be required if you’re utilizing the dumpster for a construction, cleanup or renovation project that requires the dumpster to be placed on what’s considered public property. This includes locations such as sidewalks, street sides and other public areas. In most cases you won’t need to worry about getting a permit as long as you’re putting the dumpster on your own private property, with a customer’s driveway being the most common location.

You can prevent needing to acquire a permit altogether in Oakland by simply renting a dumpster that is the right size for your driveway or other area on your property. If you are a homeowner, then the vast majority of the time you will not need to have a permit as long as the dumpster is inserted on your property. When in doubt, the local Public Works office in your municipality can generally confirm if you will need a permit or not. Or, you can always visit their website and just fill out whichever form you need for the permit. Keep in mind that if you’re part of a neighborhood Homeowner’s Association, then you might want to take a look at the local guidelines to see if they include rules around dumpster rental placements.
