Dumpster size is one of the main influencers of dumpster rental prices. Certain roll off dumpster sizes are in high demand and therefore may be limited in availability. Getting familiar with the most common dumpster sizes will help you find those that are most affordable.
How much a dumpster is allowed to hold plus the type of debris you're trashing is important to consider. All dumpster rentals are slotted for certain weight allowances, and certain types of waste can add significantly to a dumpster's final weight.
Your location and service area play a huge role in factoring dumpster prices. Certain areas will have different availabilities and higher demand than others. Understanding the dynamics of your area will keep you better informed on pricing variables.
The length of your rental period also factors into local dumpster prices. Some areas will have higher demand for dumpsters than others. Therefore, if you rent a dumpster for a lengthy amount of time in a high-demand area, that will add on to the overall cost.
When you rent a roll off container through Discount Dumpster you will receive a flat rate. That includes:
Some companies will quote you a cost to deliver the dumpster to you and stop there. Then when the dumpster is hauled away and dumped there will be additional charges for disposal, fuel, environmental, etc. Understand what the final cost will be so that a roll off dumpster doesn’t break your budget.
Different dumpster sizes include a specific amount of weight in the cost of the rental.
Be sure to ask about the weight limit so you are aware of this prior to throwing material away.
When we take your trash to the local dump, the trash truck is weighed in. The driver then dumps all of the trash out at the dump and receives an additional weight ticket when they exit the facility. The difference between the two weight tickets is the total weight in the container.
Common terminology for weight when renting a roll off is tonnage. For example, most 30 yard containers hold up to 4 tons of debris.
One ton of weight is equal to 2,000 pounds.
When we dispose of debris at the dump, we pay on an agreed upon price per ton.
If you are under the specified weight limit on your invoice, there is no additional cost what so ever.
If the weight limit is above the specified limit, Discount Dumpster pays this fee and then recoups the cost from the customer.
This rate is usually a pro rated $75.00/ton, but varies based on which transfer station is closest to you.
The best way to avoid a permit is to place the roll off container on your private property. The majority of time the dumpster is placed on the driveway which allows for simple disposal and quicker removal. In some cases, a permit will be required if you plan to place the container on a street or city right-of-way. These permits are issued by the local city’s planning and building department. Not sure if you need a permit? Give us a call and a representative will help you understand the permitting process.
Extension fees are applied per extra day you need to extend the rental. These fees can vary depending on the size you have and its ready availability in your local market.
