The first thing you’ll want to do when renting a dumpster is get a general idea of the sizes out there and types of jobs each one will fit. You don’t want to end up going over the dumpster’s weight restriction or space, and you certainly don’t want to rent one too large for your job and end up with too much leftover volume. Renting the ideal dumpster for your job will save you a lot of cash and time over hauling the garbage yourself. The following are some useful tips when trying to decide on which size dumpster to go with for your specific job so you can be sure you won’t go overboard or underestimate the required space.

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

General Trash Removal or Remodeling Projects: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is best for remodeling a single room in your house, 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: When remodeling various rooms in your home or having contracting work carried out a 30 cubic yard dumpster is normally an ideal option. This allows for a greater volume of trash to be easily disposed of and will make certain you don’t need a number of trips to dispose of it.

Garage, Attic or Basement Cleanouts: Cleaning up unwanted objects or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more space or room in your home. The regular 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 considerably better.

Complete Home Cleanout: If you’re undertaking a home cleanup and are doing away with furniture items, then you’ll likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the regular sized home. For much 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.

Yard Work or Landscaping: 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: For large renovation, home improvement or construction tasks a big dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be ideal. Anytime you expect a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a greater sized dumpster is the safest bet. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will need a special heavy-duty dumpster.

The weight of the waste materials you’re disposing of will mostly depend on the materials they’re made out of. If you need help deciding or are not sure of which dumpster would best fit your needs, simply call Discount Dumpster Rental Seattle at (844) 923-1888 and our helpful staff will get you set up speedily and easily.

What is the Average Cost of a Dumpster Rental in Seattle?

Generally,you can expect to pay around $180 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Seattle. Dumpsters for rent in Seattle can vary in cost based on many things.

One of the biggest factors you need to think about 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 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 double check the final rates with the provider before handing over your hard earned cash.

One of the most common questions we hear is how is a dumpster rental rate determined? The main way in which dumpster rental rates are worked out is by the size/volume of the container. The larger and more volume the dumpster holds, the higher rate it will have. The next factor in cost is how long, or how many days, you’ll need your dumpster rental for. Other than size and length of time the dumpster is being rented for, there may also be charges based upon on the materials you’ll be disposing of. Very heavy waste items such as concrete or asphalt will require a special heavy-duty dumpster in order to handle such a load. It’s essential to take this into consideration, as you may not end up filling your dumpster to the top, but you could still exceed its weight capacity depending on the type of waste materials you’re disposing of.

Below are some of the common factors that might influence the price of renting a dumpster:

– Weight of materials.
– Hazardous materials or waste requiring special disposal methods.
– Landfill fees on particular items such as appliances or large furniture.
– Going above your dumpster’s weight limit.
– Any permits that must be gathered.
– Increasing the initial period of rental for the dumpster.

Will I Need a Dumpster Rental Permit in Seattle?

For the great majority of cases the ordinary customer will not require a dumpster permit, but there are a few cases where it might be essential. If you will be placing the dumpster on a residential street side or sidewalk in Seattle or on public property, then you may need to speak to your local municipal office to acquire a permit first.

Avoiding a dumpster placement permit in Seattle is fairly easy, as you can simply rent a dumpster that is sized properly to fit in your own driveway or any other location on your property. If you own your home then you’ll rarely require a permit as long as you always keep the dumpster on your property and not the public’s. If you are uncertain of the local requirements, you can always contact 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.
