How much does it cost to rent a dumpster?

This is the most important question that people care about and it’s the hardest answer to get unless you call up your local dumpster rental hauler, which is why it is a good idea to call up a few local haulers and compare prices and see if either one has discounts or promotions going on to ensure that you get the best possible price on a dumpster. Most haulers in the same area will have their pricing around the same price.

How long can I rent a dumpster for?

Depending on the company that you rent from, it can vary from a few days to a few weeks depending on the scale of your project and the size of the dumpster. The majority of dumpster rentals are for one week.

What size dumpster should I use if I am cleaning out my house or garage?

A 10 yard or 20 yard dumpster will typically work best depending on the size of your garage and cleaning area of your house.

Are dumpsters for contractors or homeowners?

Roll off dumpsters are used equally as much between contractors and homeowners. Contractors usually rent out the larger sized dumpsters while homeowners rent out the smaller ones. Landlords, real estate agents and commercial businesses also rent out dumpsters too.
