Extra Options

• Wheels are a popular rental choice. They are ideal if your debris container needs to move between or around job sites.
• Locking devices can be part of your rental, too. They make sense when child safety or animal control is a concern. They also deter people who may be tempted to add their waste to your dumpster.
• A roll-off dumpster can also be equipped with a rear swing door. This feature lets workers carry heavy items through the rear door at ground level, rather than having to lift that object high enough to toss it into the dumpster’s open top.

• Dumpster size for the job
• Length of rental

Use these 5 easy steps to estimate your dumpster rental cost.

• Know the contents of the load to collect and haul away. This helps with estimating volume and weight. Here’s an example: Storm damage covered your property with fallen limbs. You rent a 10-yard dumpster for one week. When the job is done, the volume of debris almost fills the 10-yard. The weight of debris you take to the landfill is under 3 tons. This job is on budget: under the limits for weight and volume.
• Choose the right size dumpster. Visit our Support Center to speak with one of our friendly team members if you have questions about the right size for your rental.
• Estimate how long you plan to have your dumpster on site. Daily, weekly and monthly rentals are available at a wide range of prices from various rental companies. We strive to work with your project’s needs, even if they change as your job unfolds. Shop around for what you need. And watch out for hidden fees that can drive up a rental that looks like a bargain!
• Select options of wheels, locks, plastic liners, rear entry doors and other add-ons that may be helpful for your project.
• Ask about permitting that may be required in your area. City or county permitting costs will not be included in the cost of your dumpster rental, in most cases.

A word of caution! Some rental companies charge extra fees that can add up fast.

• Delivery Fee: Charged for dumpster delivery to the site.
• Removal Fee: Charged for dumpster haul-off from the site.
• Shorter Rental: For example, you may be charged full one-week price even if you don’t use the dumpster for a full week.
• Extra Days: Extra day charge may be as little as $5 - $10 per day, or significantly more. Check with the service providers you are considering.
• Overflow Fee: Any debris not beneath the Maximum Fill Line on an open top dumpster may incur this charge.
• Overload Fee: Loads above the Maximum Capacity Weight of a roll-off dumpster are fined for each additional ton.
• Special Items Fee: For electronics and bulky household items. Regulations vary across local and state sites.
• Taxes: You will be charged federal and state taxes, in most cases, for your dumpster rental.
