On the other hand, slow times of the year may get you a better deal on a container.

How to rent a dumpster in Somerville in four easy steps

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

• PLAN AHEAD OF TIME

  Renting a dumpster is generally not a spur of the moment thing. Determine your project’s disposal needs at least two weeks ahead of time. Call at least a week in advance to book the dumpster, or two week in advance during busy months (spring, summer and fall). That way you can rest assured knowing the dumpster will be there when you need it.

• GET MULTIPLE QUOTES FROM PROS

  Be sure you’re getting the best price, dumpster and service for your project by getting quotes from multiple dumpster provideres. Our recommendation is for you to contact at least two or three.

• PREP FOR DROP-OFF

  Make sure the drop off location has easy access and no obstructions, such as cars, furniture, kid’s toys, or even fences (if applicable).

• FOLLOW THE DUMPSTER LOADING GUIDELINES

  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.

Which Sized Dumpster Should I Rent for My Somerville Project?

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.

When renting a dumpster you’ll want to first consider how much trash you’ll be generating and which sized dumpster would be best. In general, it’s a good idea to make sure you have a little room left over in your dumpster so you aren’t stuck needing it to be emptied and returned to you for a second time. It’s also essential to understand that dumpsters not only have space limitations, but also weight limits. Normally, there are certain dumpster sizes that will match the regular trash removal jobs that a person will be performing, which will give you an idea of what you expect when you’re working on your own project.

Typical Projects and Dumpster Sizes Needed to Finish Them

Remodeling or Trash Removal: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is best for remodeling a single room in your home, or performing a general cleanup. This size dumpster can hold around six truckloads of trash, which is ordinarily more than enough, but you may need a larger one for rooms with a lot of cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Multi-Room Contracting Jobs: If you have more than a single room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a good idea to upgrade to a 30 cubic yard dumpster size. This size will make sure you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but rather it would only take a single trip.

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 room or space in your home. For the average home storage area, a simple 10 or 15 cubic yard dumpster is excellent. 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 doing a home cleanup and are doing away with 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 deal with all the unwanted items you’re getting rid of.

Yard Work or Landscaping: Landscaping, yard or gardening jobs usually only produce a small amount of waste that will not take up a substantial amount of space in a dumpster. Therefore, the typical yard project will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are thinking about disposing of many tree branches or full shrubbery.

Construction Work: For large renovation, home improvement or construction projects a large dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. 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 call for a special heavy-duty dumpster.

Although these are just general guidelines for the most common projects that require a dumpster, they will give you an idea of the size you’ll need when performing them. The best way to determine the size you’ll need is to call Discount Dumpster Rental Somerville at (844) 923-1888 and simply tell us a bit about your requirements and we’ll get you set up quickly.

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

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

One of the biggest 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 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 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 payment.

One of the most frequent 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 need a special heavy-duty dumpster in order to handle such a load. It’s important to take this into consideration, as you may not end up filling your dumpster to the top, but you could still surpass its weight capacity depending on the type of waste material you’re disposing of.

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

– Overall weight of the waste materials.
– Waste that would be considered hazardous materials.
– Landfill fees on specific products such as appliances or large furniture.
– Charges for going over the dumpster’s weight limit.
– Potentially needing to obtain municipal permits for your area.
– Increasing the initial period of rental for the dumpster.

Will I Require a Permit for Dumpster Rentals in Somerville?

Occasionally a permit is necessary to put a dumpster outside of your property, depending on the local guidelines and polices of your area in Somerville. A permit may also be essential 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 needed as long as the dumpster is being placed on your own property such as a driveway.

Steering clear of a dumpster placement permit in Somerville is somewhat easy, as you can simply rent a dumpster that is sized perfectly to fit in your own driveway or any other area on your property. If you are a homeowner, then the vast majority of the time you will not require a permit as long as the dumpster is placed on your property. When in doubt, the local Public Works office in your municipality can generally confirm if you will need a permit or not. Typically, 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 may want to take a look at the local guidelines to see if they include rules around dumpster rental placements.

Make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck when disposing of waste materials on your next home improvement, landscaping or construction undertaking.
