How to rent a dumpster in Orange Beach in four easy steps

Follow the process listed below to ensure you have a smooth dumpster rental experience:

  • 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.

Renting the right sized dumpster for your trash removal job is the most important decision you’ll make during the rental process. It’s always more beneficial to overestimate your needs than being caught blindsided by a dumpster that’s too small for your requirements, but you also don’t want to spend more cash and take up more space on your property than you have to. It’s also essential to understand that dumpsters not only have space constraints, but also weight limitations. Typically, there are certain dumpster sizes that will match the regular trash removal tasks that a person will be performing, 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 common jobs customers have used our dumpsters for and the sizes that could possibly be right for your own project:

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

Multi-Room Remodeling: If you have more than an individual 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 allows for a greater volume of trash to be effortlessly disposed of and will make sure you don’t need a number of trips to dispose of it.

Garage, Attic or Basement Cleanups: It’s a good idea to clear out undesired items from your home’s storage areas to free up more space. The regular 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 most likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the regular sized home. Larger sized homes, however, could benefit from working with a 30 cubic yard dumpster to deal with all the unwanted items you’re removing.

Landscaping or Yard Work: Landscaping, yard or gardening work normally only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a significant amount of space in a dumpster. Therefore, the ordinary yard project will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are preparing for disposing of many tree branches or full shrubbery.

Construction Projects: For large renovation, home improvement or construction projects a big dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be ideal. If you have a significant renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a great deal of waste to dispose of. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will require a special heavy-duty dumpster.

The size and volume of the dumpster you rent will generally 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 Can I Expect to Spend on a Dumpster Rental in Orange Beach?

Generally,you can expect to pay around $185 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Orange Beach. Dumpsters for rent in Orange Beach can vary in cost based on different things.

One of the largest 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 require 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 hard earned cash.

The first step in figuring out the cost of your dumpster rental is to decide on the size you’ll need. As the size of the dumpster you’re renting increases, as does the price. 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 removed before the rental period ends. Rental costs are usually based on a daily rate, but there are a few other factors that may factor into the final cost of your rental.

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

– Overall weight of the waste items.
– Waste that must be specifically disposed of.
– Possible landfill fees for large objects such as mattresses or big appliances.
– Exceeding your dumpster’s weight limit.
– Any permits that must be obtained.
– Requiring to rent the dumpster for a longer period of time than initially rented for.

Are There Permit Requirements for Dumpster Rentals in Orange Beach?

For most consumers in the Orange Beach area acquiring a permit for a dumpster rental placement will not be a problem. 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 area 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 roads, that specific municipalities will need permits issued.

You can avoid needing to acquire a permit altogether in Orange Beach by simply renting a dumpster that is the appropriate size for your driveway or other area on your property. If you own your home then you’ll seldom require a permit as long as you always keep the dumpster on your property and not the public’s. If you are unsure of the local specifications, you can always get in touch with the appropriate Public Works Office in your municipality. Generally, you can simply visit their website and fill out the necessary form for a permit. Also, if you are part of a Homeowner’s Association, it would be a fine idea to check with your representatives to find out about any local rules you may need to adapt to.
