How to rent a dumpster in Richmond in four easy steps

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

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

When renting a dumpster you’ll want to first think about how much trash you’ll be creating and which sized dumpster would be ideal. It’s always better to overestimate your needs than being caught blindsided by a dumpster that’s too small for your demands, but you also don’t want to spend more money and take up more space on your property than you have to. It’s also very important to understand that dumpsters not only have space constraints, but also weight limitations. There are common projects that are affiliated with specific dumpster sizes, and you can get a general idea of what you’ll need based on the jobs outlined below.

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

Remodeling or Garbage Removal: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is best for remodeling a single room in your house, or performing a general cleanup. A 20 cubic yard dumpster rental will take care of about 6 truckloads of waste, unless you have larger objects like appliances you’re getting rid of.

Remodeling Multiple Rooms: When remodeling numerous rooms in your house or having contracting work carried out a 30 cubic yard dumpster is normally an ideal option. This permits 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 Cleanups: It’s a great idea to clear out undesired items from your home’s storage areas to free up more space. For the average home storage area, a simple 10 or 15 cubic yard dumpster is ideal. However, if you are getting rid of large items or appliances, then a 20 cubic yard dumpster rental option would be significantly better.

Full 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 perfect for the typical house. For much larger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a more beneficial choice since it would amount to about 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Landscaping or Yard Work: Landscaping, yard or gardening work normally only produce a small amount of waste that will not take up a significant amount of space in a dumpster. Because of this, these sorts of projects usually only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it involves a large amount of tree branches.

Contracting 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 large renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a great deal of waste materials to dispose of. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will demand a unique heavy-duty dumpster.

Although these are just normal guidelines for the most well-known projects that require a dumpster, they will give you an idea of the size you’ll require when performing them.

Generally,you can expect to pay around $185 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Richmond. Dumpsters for rent in Richmond can vary in price based on many things.

One of the major factors you need to consider is the size of the roll off 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 get 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 rates with the provider before handing over your hard earned cash.

To calculate the cost that goes along with renting a dumpster, it is important to first decide on the dumpster size that you’ll need for your project. As the size of the dumpster you’re renting increases, as does the cost. Next, is the length of time or how many days you’ll need the rental for. You can always call to have a dumpster taken away if you are finished with it more quickly than expected as well. There are a few other factors besides just the dumpster’s size and rental length that may affect the total cost.

Here are some common points that may also factor into the dumpster’s cost:

– How heavy the waste materials are.
– Hazardous materials or waste necessitating special disposal techniques.
– Extra landfill fees for certain objects in some states, such as appliances or mattresses.
– Going over your selected dumpster’s weight restriction.
– Any permits that must be gathered.
– Keeping the dumpster for longer than the initial rental period.

Does Richmond 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 Richmond, then a city permit might be required first. A permit might also be demanded if you are taking part in a construction, cleanup or renovation project that requires the dumpster to be placed in a location other than your driveway, such as the sidewalk or alongside the street. In general, a permit will not be necessary as long as the dumpster is being inserted on your own property such as a driveway.

One of the very best ways to avoid requiring a permit is to simply rent a dumpster size that is best suited for your own driveway or property. This way you can have complete control over the dumpster’s position and won’t have to be concerned about permits in most cases. You can also check with the local Richmond Public Works Department prior to rental. As long as the dumpster doesn’t get in the way of public access most locations won’t require a permit for placement. If you do end up needing a permit it’s as easy as contacting the local Richmond Public Works department or going to their website and filling out the appropriate forms.
