Roll Off Dumpster Tips for Andreas, PA

Cost of renting roll-offs by size

Rental costs for a 10 yard bin in some locations can be as low as $200 for a 7-day rental, while in other parts of the country rates run $400+ for the same size container. It all depends upon where you live, weight of the debris, type of waste and length of the rental period.

Bigger dumpsters – such as 20, 30 and 40 yard boxes -- cost more to rent. An important part of getting the best price on a roll off dumpster is to check pricing at least two rental providers to make sure you’re getting fair market value. It’s a great bargaining tool, as well.

Other potential fees to know about includes:

  • Overage charges
  • Late fees for keeping the container extra days
  • “Special” wastes disposal, such as tires or e-waste

How much do various wastes weigh?

The weight of debris can vary greatly. For example:

  • Household junk and trash: 800 lbs. per yard
  • Concrete or asphalt: 2,400 lbs. per yard
  • Lumber: 400 lbs. per yard
  • Yard wastes: 600 lbs. per yard
  • Earth or sand: 2,100 – 3,000 lbs. per yard

Exceeding the weight allowance of your roll-off can incur overage charges ranging from $50 to $100 per ton.
