Dumpster Rental FAQ

Dumpster Rental FAQ

Read on to learn more about some frequently asked questions regarding dumpster rental!

Can I mix junk and trash with roof shingles and other debris from construction?

Most dumpster rental companies prefer to have them separated. The same goes for yard waste, roof shingles and concrete. Some cities require that roofing shingles be recycled, and the same is often true for construction debris. In these cases, dumpster rental companies will require the dumpster to be clean-loaded, or loaded with only one type of debris. As a rule of thumb, you should not mix construction debris, concrete, yard debris, or roofing shingles with other wastes.

Can you put a mattress in a dumpster?

Not everywhere Many cities charge a fee for mattress disposal, so dumpster rental companies in these areas will not allow you to throw a mattress in the dumpster – at least not without charging you an additional fee to cover the expense.

Can tires be thrown in a dumpster?

It is not lawful to throw whole tires in a dumpster. However, some areas may allow cut tires to be disposed of in the general waste stream. Never put scrap tires in a dumpster without first discussing it with your dumpster rental provider.

Can furniture be thrown in a dumpster?

Yes, most furniture is acceptable, including wooden chairs, sofas and tables. Your local environmental regulations may limit certain furniture from dumpster disposal, such as upholstered items or chairs with electronics built-in (e.g., massage chairs or hospital beds). Check with your dumpster provider if you have furniture that contains electrical components.

Can a television be thrown in a dumpster?

In most cases, no. However, some dumpster rental companies may be able to accommodate this request if you make arrangements beforehand. You may incur additional fees for the e-waste disposal. Always ask if the dumpster rental company accepts TVs; never dispose of a TV in a dumpster.

The average initial cost for a 20-yard dumpster is generally $500 for the USA in 2021.

Dumpster Rental Charges

The $500 range is simply for upfront fees when renting these 20 yard dumpster/roll-off containers.

Make sure to discuss any possible additional charges before finalizing a purchase. Overage fees are usually charged per ton, with a typical range of $40-$100 per extra ton.

40 Yard Dumpster Rental Tips

Avoiding extra charges while also picking out the perfect sized roll-off containers are priorities for any homeowners and commercial property owners. Here are a few tips to help calculate the exact size and pricing for your upcoming rental needs.

  • When getting quotes from rental companies, be as detailed as possible about the specific type of debris you plan on putting in the container. These experts will be able to accurately estimate weight and cost based on the discarded materials.
  • Make sure to always cover your dumpster, even when it is located on your property. Other people throwing trash in your dumpster, adding weight and driving up costs, is a common problem reported.

  • Never underestimate how much debris you’ll be putting into the dumpster. Underestimating will generally result in overfilling and additional charges. Don’t make this mistake!
  • Check to see how long you will be able to keep the dumpster when agreeing to rental terms. For instance, Minnesota Roll Off & Recycling allows customers to use their dumpsters longer than most competitors. Additional days cost only $10 each.

Scrap Metal Prices 2021
Written by Craig B

2021 Scrap Metal Prices

When it comes down to it, mankind has always had an inclination for recycling. In medieval times, we took stone and rock from damaged castles and churches to construct our own homes. Blacksmiths melted neglected or deserted swords and armor to make new ones. Wooden pieces from damaged ships are used again, and it also goes for their metal parallels.

It’s the same with scrap metals. When recycling is conducted correctly, you’re basically getting the same metal as the natural version you would get from a mine. Scrap yards then sell their scrap metal by separating the metals first, and then selling off the different distinctive metals at today’s market price. The scrap yards sell the scrap by their weight, and they’re not dependent on what it was previously used for.

Scrap Metal Environmental and Energy Benefits

When we use scrap metal instead of getting it from mines, there are tons of savings in several ways. Recycling, in comparison to producing new metal from mines, provides:

  • 97 percent decrease in mining waste
  • 90 percent savings in the number of raw materials used
  • 86 percent decrease in the air pollution created
  • 76 percent decrease in water pollution
  • 75 percent decrease in energy consumption
  • 40 percent savings in the volume of water used

These are all considerable savings. When recycling steel, you save 2,158 lbs. of iron ore, 1,387 lbs. of coal, and 117 lbs. of limestone from current surplus. When you recycle 2,240 lbs. of aluminum, you save up to a whopping 11,200 lbs. of bauxite.

Renting A Dumpster Vs Junk Removal: What’s Better For DIY Projects?

DIY projects are exciting and intimidating at the same time. Maybe you have already mapped out your process, but what comes after the project is completed? Should you dispose of the waste via junk removal or renting a dumpster? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of both services.

DIY Projects

There are so many DIY projects that homeowners can tackle. A common project these days is essentially a full bedroom makeover. Homeowners can make and design their own headboards, nightstands and even dressers, in some cases. Building bookshelves is another popular exercise. Generally, this is done to improve upon or replace an old bookshelf. What happens with many of these DIY projects is homeowners underestimate how much waste will be produced. Believing your personal trash cans can hold all the waste can be a huge mistake. So, whether you are taking on a project in the bedroom or living room, look into the possibilities of renting a dumpster or calling a junk removal service.

Other common DIY projects:

  • Painting/adding wall art
  • Building a custom entertainment center
  • Constructing a firepit
  • Custom shelfing for storage
  • Making a new set of curtains
  • Closet shelfing or drawers
  • Re-tiling bathroom floors

Renting A Dumpster Insert

Dumpster Rentals

There are numerous benefits of choosing a dumpster rental for your upcoming DIY venture. The first pro in the dumpster rental checklist is the safety factor. Being able to dispose of items right away will keep your job site/home as safe as possible. Don’t leave dangerous materials laying around while you wait for a junk removal company. Instead, dispose of them right away, giving you peace of mind. Another benefit is flexibility. Most dumpster companies will give you upwards of ten days to keep the rental. This is definitely enough time to complete any at-home project. You can save money by choosing this route over junk removal, as well. Dumpster rental services offer plenty of sizes of roll off containers, with the smaller sizes working well for at-home cleanings and coming with a much smaller price tag.

  • Eco-friendly
  • Keeps the home safer
  • Peace of mind
  • Saves you money

Junk Removal

The first obvious benefit of hiring a junk removal service is it saves you work. Instead of hauling and tossing materials constantly, the professionals will handle everything for you. Saving you work and hassle is the main calling card for these companies. With saving work comes less time spent overall. This way, you can exclusively concentrate on your DIY project instead of worrying about making trips to and from the dumpster. Many of these services will recycle. Just make sure to ask about that ahead of time, if recycling is one of your bigger concerns.

  • Less work for the homeowner/commercial property owner
  • Saves time
  • Recycling options available
