How to rent a dumpster in Trenton in four easy steps

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

If you follow those 4 easy steps, you’ll find the experience to be much more smooth! If you need any assistance, feel free to call us for fast and friendly help!

Renting the proper sized dumpster for your garbage removal job is the most important decision you’ll make during the rental process. 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 again. Understanding the weight limits of each dumpster is a pivotal fact as well, especially if you’re getting rid of heavy materials like asphalt or roofing. Normally, there are certain dumpster sizes that will match the usual trash removal tasks that a person will be carrying out, 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 standard jobs customers have used our dumpsters for and the sizes that may be right for your own project:

Waste Removal or Basic Remodeling: Each person’s job is unique, but in general a 20 cubic yard dumpster is sufficient for a single room remodel or cleanup. This size dumpster can carry around six truckloads of trash, which is normally adequate, but you may need a bigger one for rooms with many cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Multi-Room Remodeling Projects: 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 size will guarantee you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but rather it would only take one trip.

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: Cleaning out unwanted objects or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more living space in your home. The normal 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 Cleanup Projects: 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 average sized home. 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.

Yard Work or Landscaping: In general, yard work and landscaping waste materials won’t require a huge amount of dumpster volume. Because of this, these types of projects usually 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 projects a large dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. If you have a substantial renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a whole lot of waste to dispose of. Keep in mind, if you will be disposing of very heavy objects such as concrete or bricks, you’ll require a specially designed dumpster to handle that.

The weight of the waste you’re disposing of will typically depend on the materials they’re made out of. If you are uncertain or have questions, simply give our friendly staff a call at (844) 923-1888 and we’ll be happy to assist you.

How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Dumpster in Trenton?

In general,you can expect to pay around $195 to $1,000 for a roll-off container rental in Trenton. Dumpsters for rent in Trenton can vary in cost based on many things.

One of the major 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 excessive 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 providers include the travel costs into the final bill without you even knowing. Always double check the final rates with the company before handing over payment.

You may be asking yourself, how is the level for my dumpster rental going to be decided? The main way in which dumpster rental rates are worked out is by the size/volume of the container. The more waste it can hold, the higher the rate on average. 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 depending on the materials you’ll be disposing of. Very heavy waste objects such as concrete or asphalt will require a special heavy-duty dumpster in order to handle such a load. For this reason, it’s important to take into consideration the types of materials you’ll be throwing in the dumpster, as even if it’s returned only part of the way filled, it may well still exceed its weight capacity in the end.

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

– Overall weight of the waste.
– Waste that would be regarded as hazardous materials.
– Additional landfill fees for certain materials in some states, such as appliances or mattresses.
– Exceeding your selected dumpster’s weight restriction.
– Any permits that must be obtained.
– Requiring to rent the dumpster for a longer period of time than At first rented for.

Will I Need a Permit in Trenton for a Dumpster Rental?

The main aspect in whether you’ll need to have a dumpster rental permit or not in Trenton is the area in which you intend on putting it. You’ll usually only need a permit if you have to place your dumpster on public property. Places like sidewalks, streets and other public areas are the most common places that may require a permit. The specifications for placing a dumpster on public property change between areas, but in general you will normally not need one for placing it on your own property.

You can stay away from needing to acquire a permit altogether in Trenton 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 need a permit as long as you continue to keep the dumpster on your property and not the public’s. 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 required form for a permit. Also, if you are part of a Homeowner’s Association, it would be a good idea to check with your representatives to find out about any local restrictions you may need to conform to.
