Has there ever been any doubt about the fact that you will end up with a ton of waste when you start a demolition or home improvement project? Since the two are generally not mutually exclusive, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself with construction debris pouring out of your proverbial ears before long. The solution is simple: rent a dumpster. Once you’ve decided that, the only thing left to figure out is how much you can throw in your rental dumpster.
Imagine the disaster that could occur if you didn’t know how much (what kind) of waste and debris you could put in your rental waste and debris container. You could end up dropping the wrong item and having to get it out before the truck takes it away. Imagine how much fun THAT would be! You could end up throwing away too much and having to dispose of it, making trip after trip to the landfill on top of having to pay dumpster rental fees.
Does that seem like a waste to anyone else? If you’re going to have to haul your own waste and debris anyway, you might as well save yourself the trouble!
Rental rubble and dumpsters come in a fairly wide variety of sizes, designed to give you a choice no matter what type of project you’re working on. Since it costs a little more to rent a larger dumpster, you can save money. On the other hand, if you have a larger project underway, you won’t be finding yourself with a pile of scraps and debris on your front lawn. Most companies allow you to fill the dumpster to the top, as long as they can cover the box for transport; however, there are also certain weight requirements that you will need to meet and these will be established before your rental is delivered.
A ten-yard dumpster is designed to hold up to 2 tons of waste, which is adequate for a small cleanup or remodeling project. Fifteen-yard dumpsters hold up to 3 tons of waste and debris and are typically the dumpsters of choice for kitchen and basement remodels, construction cleanup, and HVAC projects. Twenty yard dumpsters are the most popular type of rental trash and trash bins and hold up to 4 tons of debris, about 10 truckloads of “stuff.”
While a twenty-yard dumpster will handle whole-house renovations and cleanouts of large basements and attics, massive demolitions may call for something bigger. A thirty-yard dumpster is designed to hold up to five tons of trash, debris, and debris, and will easily fill up when other-sized dumpsters just won’t cut it. When you know enough about your project and the size of the rental dumpsters and debris you have to work with, you will be able to get the dumpster you need to get the best results on your project.
