Temporary Dumpster Rental in Dover, DE

When it comes to renting a dumpster in Dover, you can choose between a 20-yard, 30-yard and 40-yard container. Dumpsters are sized based on how many cubic yards of waste they hold. For example, a 20-yard dumpster is 8 feet wide x 22 feet long x 4 feet high. It holds 20 cubic yards of waste. A cubic yard is 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet deep. Weight will vary for a cubic yard. For instance, a cubic yard of popcorn will weigh significantly less than a cubic yard of roofing shingles.

Other options include adding wheels to your trash container which makes it easier to move between or around job sites; locking devices which help with child safety, animal control and deterring people from adding their trash to your dumpster; and rear swing doors which allow workers to carry heavy items through the rear door at ground level rather than having to lift objects high enough to toss them into the dumpster’s open top.

• Know the contents of the load. This helps with estimating the volume and weight.
• Choose the right size dumpster. Contact our Support Center to speak with one of our friendly team members if you have questions about finding 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.
• 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.

Be familiar with or ask one of our Support Center team members what is acceptable in your area’s recycling centers and landfills. Additional fees may be charged for some materials. Be clear and up-front about what you will be putting into a dumpster to ensure you will not be penalized for hazardous content later.
