Dumpster rentals are a great way to save both time and cash over alternative waste removal solutions like driving to the landfills yourself. The following are some useful tips when trying to make a decision on which size dumpster to go with for your particular job so you can be sure you won’t go overboard or underestimate the needed space.

Dumpster Sizes for Popular Projects

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

Home Remodeling: If you have more than one room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a very good 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 make sure you don’t need a number of trips to dispose of it.

Basement, Garage or Attic Cleanouts: Cleaning up unwanted items or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more living space in your home. For the average home storage area, a simple 10 or 15 cubic yard dumpster is perfect. If you have large items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Full Home Cleanup Projects: For things such as furniture or large appliances that you’re cleaning out of your home, a 15-20 cubic yard dumpster would be best for the standard house. For larger sized 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: Landscaping, yard or gardening jobs generally only produce a small amount of waste that will not take up a sizeable amount of space in a dumpster. Therefore, the common yard project will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are preparing for disposing of numerous tree branches or full shrubbery.

Construction Projects: For large renovation, home improvement or construction jobs a large dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be ideal. If you have a sizeable renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be plenty 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.

In order to avoid spending more on a large dumpster that you won’t make use of fully you’ll want to carefully consider the weight of the waste you’re disposing of. In the end, renting a dumpster from Discount Dumpster Rental Amherst is always more efficient and will save you money over common waste disposal alternatives.

How Much Should I Pay for Renting a Dumpster in Amherst?

Generally,you can expect to pay around $195 to $1,000 for a roll-off dumpster rental in Amherst. Dumpsters for rent in Amherst can vary in cost based on a few factors.

One of the biggest factors you need to think about 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.

One of the most common questions we hear is how is a dumpster rental price determined? The first way a dumpster rental’s price is determined by which size you choose for your undertaking.

Apart from those two points, the types of materials you’ll be tossing in the dumpster may also have an effect on price. Items with a lot of weight to them, like concrete, bricks or roofing shingles, may demand a special type of dumpster that can handle these heavy loads. It’s essential to take this into consideration, as you may not end up filling up your dumpster to the top, but you could still go beyond its weight capacity depending on the type of waste material you’re disposing of.

Below are some of the typical factors that might impact the price of renting a dumpster:

– How heavy the waste substances are.
– Hazardous materials or waste requiring special disposal procedures.
– Potential landfill fees for large objects such as mattresses or big appliances.
– Charges for going over the dumpster’s weight limitation.
– Getting ahold of local permits.
– Extending the initial period of rental for the dumpster.
