Choosing a dumpster to take away your unwanted items and junk is an excellent, not to mention affordable, solution for a wide variety of tasks. They can make cleaning out your garage, attic or basement much easier than trying to cram everything into regular sized garbage cans. There are many sized dumpsters that are ideal for home projects, and they aren’t just for massive construction projects as many people believe. They also are excellent for landscaping work that will result in yard clippings or branches that need to be discarded.

If you happen to be in need of a dumpster rental solution in Opelousas, then first you’ll want to get an idea of what types of options and sizes are available. The good news is, there are a wide selection of dumpster rental sizes that are sure to suit any project no matter how big or small.

How to Determine the Dumpster Size You’ll Need in Opelousas?

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.

There is always a perfect sized dumpster for each and every task, but working out which size is the best for your particular needs can be challenging. Many people tend to underestimate the amount of space and volume of the items they’re disposing of, so it’s always more beneficial to be on the safe side when choosing a dumpster size. You certainly won’t need to rent a super large dumpster if you’re just cleaning out your garage or basement. So how can you decide on the right container size for your waste removal job? Below are the most prevalent jobs that dumpster rentals are used for and the regular sizes that are ideally suited to handle them.

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

Trash Removal or Basic Remodeling: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is perfect for remodeling a single room in your house, or performing a basic cleanup. This size dumpster can hold around six truckloads of trash, which is usually enough, but you may need a bigger one for rooms with many cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Home Remodeling: If you have more than an individual room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a great idea to upgrade to a 30 cubic yard dumpster size. This size will ensure you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but rather it would only take one trip.

Basement, Garage or Attic Cleanouts: It’s a good idea to clear out unwanted items from your home’s storage areas to free up more space. The normal 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 far better.

Cleaning Out a Full Home: If you’re carrying out a home cleanup and are doing away with furniture items, then you’ll most likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the regular sized home. For larger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a much better option since it would amount to around 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Landscaping Projects: In general, yard work and landscaping waste materials won’t call for a huge amount of dumpster volume. Because of this, these types of projects typically only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it involves a large amount of tree branches.

Construction Work: The most effective dumpster rental solution for contracting work or large scale projects would be the 40 cubic yard solution. If you have a significant renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a lot of waste to dispose of. Keep in mind, if you will be disposing of very heavy objects such as concrete or bricks, you’ll require a specially designed dumpster to handle that.

If you have a particularly special project or are not sure of the dumpster size that would be the best fit for you, you can always get in touch with our representatives at (844) 923-1888 and simply tell us a little bit about the waste materials you’re disposing of.

How Much Should I Pay for Renting a Dumpster in Opelousas?

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

One of the major 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 provider before handing over payment.

One of the most consistent questions we hear is how is a dumpster rental rate determined? The primary way in which dumpster rental rates are determined is by the size/volume of the container. The more waste it can hold, the greater the rate on average. The next factor in cost is how long, or how many days, you’ll need your dumpster rental for. Apart from those two points, the types of materials you’ll be throwing in the dumpster may also have an effect on price. Items with a lot of weight to them, like concrete, bricks or roofing shingles, may call for a special type of dumpster that can handle these heavy loads. It’s essential to take this into consideration, as you may not end up filling up your dumpster to the top, but you could still exceed its weight capacity depending on the type of waste you’re disposing of.

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

– Total weight of the waste items.
– Waste that must be specially disposed of.
– Landfill fees on certain items such as appliances or large furniture.
– Going above your dumpster’s weight limit.
– Any permits that must be acquired.
– Needing to rent the dumpster for a longer period of time than initially rented for.

Will I Need a Dumpster Rental Permit in Opelousas?

Occasionally a permit is required to put a dumpster outside of your property, depending on the local guidelines and polices of your area in Opelousas. 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 places such as sidewalks, street sides and other public areas. In general, a permit will not be needed as long as the dumpster is being positioned on your own property such as a driveway.

In order to refrain from having to obtain a permit in Opelousas, it’s always better to guarantee the dumpster rental size is appropriate to be placed on your own property, such as on your driveway. In this case you have total control over placement and can stay away from permit requirements. Applying for a permit is a fairly swift and easy process, however, as simply visiting Opelousas’s Public Works website and filling out the right form will get the job done. If you are part of a local Homeowner’s Association, you might want to check with them to make certain your dumpster rental placement conforms to their rules.
