If you’re looking for a temporary or long-term waste disposal solution for your home or business, a dumpster rental is a perfect solution for your waste. Renting a dumpster is a quick, cost-efficient, and convenient way to clear away trash, debris, junk, and unwanted items.
But unless you’ve renovated your house before or had a construction site, there is a good chance you’ve not dealt with dumpster rental before. You might not know what to look for or even where to start.
We’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you with some of the everyday renting nuances so that you can make an informed decision and have a great experience with your rental dumpster.
The word dumpster was first popularized in 1936 by the Dempster Brothers. The two entrepreneurs came up with the idea of filling uniformly sized containers with waste and then taking it away by loading it on their special hauling trucks. They then patented their new waste disposal method. Since then, dumpsters have become a household name.
A dumpster is a large trash receptacle with an open or closed top and which is used to store and haul trash and debris safely, conveniently, and affordably. Dumpsters come in various sizes and types that are suited for various projects.
Commercial and residential projects have varying dumpster needs and would require different dumpster rentals. Finding a dumpster size and type that is the right fit for your project is crucial for the success of your project.
1. Front Load Dumpster
Front-load dumpsters are waste receptacles designed to be loaded from the front of the truck. They have slots on either side where the truck hooks its lifting spikes. Once the spikes are locked in place, the truck lifts the dumpster overhead using winches and metals sleds or robotic arms and dumps the trash directly into the truck’s garbage container.
Front-load dumpsters come in 2 to 8-yard capacities and are a convenient solution for commercial spaces requiring permanent, compact-fitting receptacles.
2. Rear Load Dumpster
A rear loader has a more complicated loading mechanism than the front loader dumpster. It has two poles that extend from the front lip and a slanted back that allows for easy trash deposit. The dumpster truck hooks its hinge and winch system on the dumpster, then pulls it to empty the waste into the dumpster truck.
It has a taller, slimmer design that allows it to hold more trash and fit into small, narrow spaces.
Front and rear load dumpsters offer a perfect solution for businesses and commercial spaces looking for a permanent solution to handle their waste streams.
3. Roll away/ Roll-off/ Construction Dumpster Rental
Roll away dumpsters or roll-off dumpsters are open-top, heavy-duty waste disposal receptacles that are used when a lot of trash needs hauling from commercial and residential projects. They are loaded on a truck using a winch and a metal sled or with a robotic arm.
The roll away dumpsters have wheels that allow for easy loading and dropping. These large-sized containers come in different sizes ranging from 10-yard capacities for small hauling needs to 40-yard capacities for heavy, bulky hauling.
Roll away dumpsters are a temporary solution that is perfect for a range of projects from home remodeling, demolitions, yard waste, roof tear-offs, and massive construction debris clearing.
Roll away dumpsters have several types depending on the materials that need hauling:
· Mixed trash dumpsters
These are the most versatile roll away dumpster rentals. The most common sizes are 10, 20, 30, and 40-yard capacities. They are a good fit for house cleanouts, garage cleanouts, attic and basement cleanouts, new constructions, home renovation projects, and roofing projects.
· Concrete/Dirt/Asphalt Dumpsters
This type of roll away dumpsters is suitable for hauling masonry products. They are commonly used during home improvement projects such as sidewalk removal, driveway removal, home foundation removal, pool removal, patio removal, and footings removal. Due to the weight of the materials being hauled, these dumpsters are usually between 10 and 20 yards big.
· Yard debris dumpsters
These are roll off dumpsters that should only be filled with yard debris such as grass clippings, leaves, brush, logs, and tree stumps. Yard debris dumpsters have several specific types for carrying the various yard debris. For instance, if you order a leaves receptacle, you should not throw in branches as this would mean the box is a mixed debris receptacle, hence leading to additional charges.
A dumpster rental company is a professional agency that has a fleet of specialized, large, weight-bearing trucks and a collection of dumpsters that you can hire for your cleanout project. Ideally, a dumpster rental company will have vehicles with roll-off and hook-lift systems to allow convenient dumpster rental drop off and pick up.
Dumpster companies offer a convenient and cost-friendly way to dispose of your waste hence allowing you to concentrate on other things that really matter to you and your business.
There are various reasons for renting a dumpster. You can rent a dumpster to conveniently get rid of junk during:
· Garage cleanout
· Home remodel or renovation
· House cleanout
· Attic and basement cleanout
· Spring cleanout
· Major construction
Dumpster rentals are an excellent option for businesses, offices, contractors, DIYers, and anyone else with a cleanout project, home renovation/remodeling project, or contractor with multiple construction sites looking for an easy, efficient solution to getting rid of their wastes. Businesses and commercial spaces who are looking for an easy, affordable solution to handle their waste stream would also benefit from dumpster rental.
A dumpster rental provides you with a range of benefits, including:
· Improved safety at your commercial or residential space
· Allows for convenient waste disposal
· Accommodates large and bulky items
· Provides a legal, compliant waste disposal solution
· Reduced risk of litigation due to a safer, more efficient job site
· It is an eco-friendly solution to get rid of the materials you no longer need
To make the most out of the dumpster rental, you will need to prepare for its arrival. By choosing the right drop-off location, you will be able to do a significant amount of work quickly and efficiently without causing obstructions. Here are a few things you can be doing as you wait for the dumpster drop-off:
· Choose an ideal spot to place the dumpster. The location should not be hilly, soft or sandy, and should not be on the side of the street.
· When choosing the drop-off spot, be sure to account for the length and height of the delivery truck.
· Clean up and clear out obstructions. Remove any debris, cars, toys, trash cans, or fences that may be on the way of the drop off zone. This minimizes the risks of dumpster property damage
· If you are afraid of damaging the asphalt or concrete, or the drop-off spot is soft or sandy, be sure to place plywood or boards underneath the dumpster rental.
· Inform the dumpster company about the drop off zone and ensure that the dumpster is dropped off at your designated spot
