Overage fees can range from $40-$100 per ton depending on the company.

If you want to save $100 or more, try downsizing to a 10-yard dumpster, if a dumpster that is 30 yards in size is truly bigger than you need. Some people are confused when choosing the correct size dumpster, so here are three things to consider when making your choice:

• Be as detailed as you can be about the amount and the type of debris you are going to be putting into the dumpster when you talk to the rental company. They are experts and with their experience, they can give you an accurate estimate of the weight.
• You can avoid the common problem of other people throwing their trash into your dumpster and keep rain from getting in there by covering with it a tarpaulin. In both cases, if you do not do this, the total weight of the load will increase. It is especially vital if you chose a 20-yard container over a 30-yard container, because you may have to ultimately pay more if it exceeds the weight limit.
• When in doubt – select the larger size. Inevitably you will save money by the avoidance of overage charges.

30 Yard Dumpster Dimensions

A 30 cubic yard dumpster has a standard size of 22 feet in length by 7 1/2 feet wide by 6 feet tall. In typical cases,  a 30-yard dumpster has a weight limit of 8000-10,000 lbs and can hold roughly 9 pick up trucks of debris. Keep in mind also, the average dumpster rental is for 7-10 days though it can be rented for a longer period of time if required. If you are looking at the following projects a 30-yard dumpster may be right for you:

• Room additions.
• Office cleanouts.
• Moving cleanouts.
• General junk removal.
• Estate cleanouts.
• Business renovations.

Additional charges may be applicable for tonnage, overages, the kind of debris you have, late fees and fuel surcharges. be sure to check on extra charges at the outset of your dumpster rental to avoid nasty surprises when you get the final statement.

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

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
