The first thing you’ll need to do when renting a dumpster is get a basic idea of the sizes on the market and types of jobs each one will match. You don’t want to end up going over the dumpster’s weight limitation or space, and you certainly don’t want to rent one too large for your project and end up with too much leftover volume. Dumpster rentals are a fantastic way to save both effort and cash over alternative trash removal choices like driving to the landfills yourself. The following are some useful tips when trying to decide on which size dumpster to go with for your specific project so you can be sure you won’t go overboard or underestimate the required space.

Dumpster Sizes for Popular Projects

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

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

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: Cleaning up unwanted objects or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more living space in your home. The typical sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. However, if you are getting rid of large items or appliances, then a 20 cubic yard dumpster rental solution would be better.

Complete Home Cleanout: If you’re doing a home cleanup and are removing furniture items, then you’ll probably want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the average sized home. Much larger homes, however, could benefit from employing a 30 cubic yard dumpster to handle all the unwanted items you’re removing.

Landscaping or Yard Work: In general, yard work and landscaping waste materials won’t demand a huge amount of dumpster volume. 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 very best dumpster rental solution for contracting work or large scale projects would be the 40 cubic yard option. Anytime you count on a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a larger sized dumpster is the safest bet. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will call for a specific heavy-duty dumpster.

The weight of the waste materials you’re disposing of will generally depend on the materials they’re made out 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.

Should I Apply for a Permit in Santa Barbara for a Dumpster Rental?

Whether or not you will need a dumpster permit is determined by the location of the dumpster and Santa Barbara’s local specifications for the use of public property. Dumpster permits are generally only required if you are placing your roll off container on particular areas outside your home. This commonly includes the street sides, sidewalks or several other areas considered public property. The requirements for placing a dumpster on public property are different between areas, but in general you will typically not need one for putting it on your own property.

You can prevent needing to acquire a permit altogether in Santa Barbara by simply renting a dumpster that is the right 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 continue to keep the dumpster on your property and not the public’s. If you are unsure of the local requirements, you can always get in touch with the appropriate Public Works Office in your municipality. Usually, you can simply visit their website and fill out the necessary form for a permit. Keep in mind that if you’re part of a neighborhood Homeowner’s Association, then you might want to verify the local guidelines to see if they include rules around dumpster rental placements.
