You call the dumpster rental company and make arrangements to have a dumpster delivered to a specific address at an agreed time. A delivery person drives your dumpster over to drop it off as arranged. You then proceed to fill the dumpster with junk and debris from your home, office, storage unit, or worksite.
Here are 5 things you to do before you rent a dumpster :
- Preparation for the Dumpster’s Placement. Depending on the size of the dumpster that you rent, you are going to need to find a place to house it.
- Shop Around and Compare Options.
- Choose Your Container Wisely.
- Know What you can Dispose of and What you Can’t.
- Plan Ahead.
Dumpster rental costs $381 on average, or between $292 and $482. Most companies charge $200 to $800 per week depending on the dumpster’s size. Long-term rentals cost $1,000 to $3,000 for a month or more. Most reputable dumpster rental companies will allow you to keep the bin for around 5 to 7 days, giving you plenty of time to fill it. The truth of the matter is that the average stay of a dumpster in a driveway is about three and a half days.
