Amidst the current situation with the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding just about every aspect of our lives. Many cities and states (see below) have mandated “stay-at-home” orders, and while this is certainly not an ideal situation, it does open some opportunity to work on home projects that have been on the back burner.
\n\n\nRELATED:
\n\nWith the social distancing requirements in place across the U.S., it’s important to avoid personal contact. However, you can still work on projects at home, even those that involve renting a dumpster.
\n\nMost dumpster rental companies are still open for business.
\n\n\n\n\nWaste and trash collection companies are considered by cities and states to be “essential services,” meaning most are still open for business and dropping off / picking up rented dumpsters.

Staying safe and healthy is always the priority in situations like the one we find ourselves in now.
\n\nKeeping that in check, maintaining some sense of normalcy is also important.
\n\nBy staying busy at home, you can maintain productivity while still abiding by the social distancing recommendations.
\n\nDumpster rental companies are able to complete business without having any physical contact with the customer.
\n\nIt works like this:
\n\nThere is no actual contact between the dumpster rental company and the customer. This makes it easy to maintain social distancing.
\n\nWith extra time on your hands, it’s a great time to clear out clutter, debris or trash from your home or business. For many people, this is the ideal time to put spring cleaning into overdrive.
\n\nA 10 yard dumpster is a good choice for an average-size house cleanout. Disposing of large or bulky items, such as furniture, may require a larger 20 or 30 yard dumpster. A typical 10 yard dumpster measures 12 ft. x 8 ft. x 4 ft. (dimensions may vary) and fits well on a driveway or placed on the yard.

\n\nDespite much of the country being shutdown, dumpster rental businesses remain open in most locations. These are essential businesses that do not require physical contact between customer and dumpster provider, abiding by social distancing recommendations during the coronavirus outbreak.

\n\nThese rules are in place for environmental reasons as well as local and state regulations related to waste disposal.
\n\n\nAlways discuss the type(s) of debris or waste you’re disposing of with your dumpster rental provider.
\n\nThey’ll help ensure you understand exactly what is and isn't allowed in your dumpster.
\n
Jump to:
\n\n\n\n
Most nonhazardous waste, junk, and debris is permitted in dumpsters.
\n\nItems commonly allowed in a dumpster include:
\n\nCouches, tables, chairs—almost all types of furniture are accepted in dumpsters.
\n\nHowever, in some locations, upholstered furniture and mattresses are not allowed in landfills; and in others, you can throw furniture and mattresses in a dumpster, but it can come with additional fees depending on your local area's regulations.
\n\nAlways be sure to check with your dumpster rental provider about the types of furniture they allow in their containers.
\n\nRefrigerators, AC units, washers and dryers—a majority of general household appliances are allowed to be thrown in a dumpster, but all hazardous fluids and components, like freon, must be removed first.
\n\nIf you wish to get rid of a freon-containing appliance, you will need to hire a professional, like an appliance repair specialist or HVAC pro, to remove the refrigerant before disposing of it.
\n\nLearn more about the safe disposal of refrigerated household appliances.
\n\nNote: There are additional appliance disposal options that could end up saving you quite a bit of money. For example, some local utilities sponsor 'bounty programs' as an incentive to recycle appliances. The program involves allowing a recycler to collect old, inefficient appliances in exchange for a 'bounty.'
\n
\nSimilar to this, some programs also offer discounts towards the purchase of updated ENERGY STAR® qualified models, so this could be something to consider. Find out if your area offers bounty programs by contacting your electricity provider.
TVs, computers, printers, and other electronics are commonly accepted in most dumpsters, but if you have large quantities of electronics, like in an office cleanout, you will likely be required to recycle them as e-waste.
\n\nIn those cases, it's common that an additional charge will be applied per item in order to cover recycling fees.
\n\nIn some areas, local regulations do not allow electronics to be tossed in dumpsters at all, so be sure to check with your dumpster rental provider.
\n\nDonate or recycle e-waste, like cell phones, tablets, computers, and printers. (Search for an e-waste recycler near you.)
\n\nDonate working TVs and appliances to Habitat for Humanity or another local charity.
\n\nLearn more about e-waste recycling options in your state.
\n\nTrees, branches, brush, grass, and other green waste are allowed in most dumpsters.
\n\nHowever, whether or not a dumpster company will accept yard waste depends on your area's regulations.
\n\nIn some locations, you are limited to the amount of green waste you can send to a landfill, while in others, you can fill a dumpster to its limit.
\n\nPro Tip: Some companies offer a 'clean-load' option for dumpsters at a discounted price.
\n\n'Clean-loading a dumpster' means only loading one specific type of recyclable materials into the dumpster, e.g. concrete, yard waste, etc.
\n\nThe materials are then recycled and diverted from the landfill, so you save the environment and your wallet!
\n\nHeavy debris, like concrete, asphalt, and brick, can be thrown in most dumpsters, but due to its weight, some companies require the use of specific dumpsters designated for heavy materials.
\n\nLearn more about renting a dumpster for concrete.
\n\nAsphalt roofing shingles are another heavy debris that can go in a dumpster.
\n\nHowever, there is sometimes a fee associated with shingle disposal, so ask the dumpster rental providers you get quotes from about whether or not they charge extra for roofing shingle disposal.
\n\nFind an asphalt shingle recycler near you.

\n\nDrywall, wooden materials, siding, and other construction and demolition debris can go in dumpsters.
\n\nWith heavy debris, dumpster weight limits are especially important.
\n\nIf you go over the amount of weight included in your quoted price, you will have to remove the additional weight or pay overage fees—either of which would cause a serious headache for you.
\n\nToys, curtains, carpeting, old documents, cardboard, and similar non-organic trash can all be put in a dumpster, too.
\n\nGenerally speaking, you cannot put any type of hazardous materials in your rented dumpster, including wet paint, oil (other liquids), asbestos, sealed tanks/drums, electronics (e-waste), tires and some types of furniture.
\n\nYou'll find more information below.
\n\nYou cannot throw paint, paint thinners, lacquers, or wood stains in a dumpster, with the exception of latex paints.
\n\nIf you have leftover latex paint that can't be reused or recycled, allow the paint to solidify by pouring it into a box with kitty litter or shredded paper.
\n\nOnce it's hard and dry, toss it in the dumpster.
\n\nEmpty, dried paint cans can be recycled with other metals in your curbside bin.
\n\nFind a place to drop off your leftover paint.
\n\nBecause a majority of landfills in the U.S. do not accept tires, you cannot put tires in a dumpster.
\n\nHowever, there are various ways to properly dispose of scrap tires.
\n\nOne option involves taking old tires to your local auto parts store or tire dealership.
\n\nAnother option includes finding a local recycler who will then convert old tires into asphalt or rubber mulch.
\n\nAsbestos, pesticides, motor oil and other automotive fluids, propane tanks, household cleaners, ink and resins, contaminated soil or absorbents, and medical waste should never be put in a dumpster.
\n\nIn most communities, there are scheduled community collection events where people can drop off their hazardous waste for proper disposal.
\n\nIn some areas, you can also arrange to have a household hazardous waste recycling kit sent directly to your home.
\n\nThey allow you to conveniently pack up your waste and mail it in for environmentally responsible disposal.

\n\nCar batteries and dry-cell batteries cannot be put in a dumpster because they can leak chemicals that harm the environment.
\n\nInstead, recycle car batteries by returning them to nearly any store that sells car batteries.
\n\nSimilarly, drop off old dry-cell batteries, like lithium, AA, and AAA, in designated bins commonly found in stores.
\n\nMost auto part stores and repair shops will recycle car batteries. Sometimes you can get a deposit for returning it to where you bought it.
\n\nTo ensure you get the best services for the best deal, reach out to multiple dumpster rental providers to compare quotes.
\n\nHometown Dumpster Rental is the most convenient place to find the right dumpster rental provider in your area.
\n\nBrowse the options in your city, read company profiles, see what other customers have to say about their services, and contact providers directly for a quote—all in one easy-to-use location.
\n\nDepending on the size of your project and the type of debris you have, you may only need a 10 yard or 20 yard, but if your project is bigger or on the heavier side, a 30 yard or 40 yard dumpster is likely your best choice.
\n\nBe sure to explain your debris as much as possible to each provider you speak to.
\n\nThey'll be able to help you choose the right size for your project.

There’s a big difference between the two and knowing this info will ensure you’re getting the best possible price on your rented dumpster. This is a true story about a customer in Michigan (we’ve omitted names due to privacy) that nearly got stuck paying around $155 more than he should have on a dumpster rental. Here’s how the mistake was caught and how you can ensure this type of situation doesn’t happen to you.
\n\n\nA roofing contractor was working on a job in a rural area of Michigan. The roofer needed a roll off dumpster for shingle debris, so he called around to find one.
\n\nThe job was out in the middle of nowhere, so finding a dumpster rental company that served this location was not easy. After calling a few companies, the roofer finally found one that provided service in the area – or so they said.
\n\nThe roofer booked the dumpster with the first company that said they would service his job location. The price seemed high...$425 for a 20 yard dumpster. But he scheduled the dumpster for delivery anyway because this company seemed like it was his only option.
\n\nRed Flag: Research the average cost of renting a dumpster in your area to be a more informed customer. If the price from one rental company is exceptionally higher than average, you may be dealing with a dumpster broker. Learn more about dumpster costs by checking out Hometown’s Pricing Guide.
\nKeep in mind the average price for a 20 yard dumpster in this location is in the $250 to $300 range. Although the roofing contractor booked the dumpster, he knew he was overpaying. This unsettling feeling lead to several more phone calls to other area dumpster rental companies that he hadn’t called before. It’s a good thing he did.
\n\nThe roofing contractor managed to finally get ahold of another dumpster rental provider that offered service to the area he was working in. This company quoted $270 for a 20 yard dumpster – a price the roofer knew was more on par with prices he’d paid before and far less than the $425 the other guy was charging him.
\n\n
\nAs the roofer began the booking process by giving the new dumpster company his information – address, phone number, etc. – the dumpster company recognized the location as the same address another customer had ordered a 20 yard dumpster from the previous day! Right then the dumpster company, and the roofer, realized they were dealing with a dumpster broker.
\n\nDumpster brokers don’t actually carry their own inventory of roll-off dumpsters. Instead, they field orders from customers, call and book from actual dumpster rental providers, and have the rental company drop off the dumpster at the customer’s location all while marking up the price 10% or more. That was the case in this situation with the roofer, although here the broker was looking to pocket a “finder’s fee” of $155 – far more than what is typical.
\n\nThe company he had booked the dumpster with originally never said anything about being a broker. It’s not illegal for a broker to conduct business in this way; however, there’s a fine line between being a helpful source of dumpster services and one that unethical and overpriced.
\n\nIn the end, the roofer got his 20 yard dumpster for $270 and not the inflated $425 price tag. However, not every customer is this lucky. It’s a situation that’s often misunderstood by the customer. As a dumpster rental customer, you must be on the lookout for situations just like this one. Making the mistake of booking with the first dumpster service you call can sometimes be an expensive one.
\n\nAvoiding dumpster brokers is usually as simple as asking the dumpster provider if they have their own stock of roll-off containers or if they subcontract it out. A reputable company will gladly answer your questions.
\n\n\n\n\nIf you’re quoted a price that seems unusually high, it’s worth looking elsewhere before booking the dumpster. Although access to roll-offs may be limited in some parts of the country, such as in the example above, a bit of research and a few extra phone calls could potentially save $50-$100 or more in the end.
\n
It’s important to mention that not all dumpster brokers are out there ripping people off. Some are reputable and may actually offer competitive pricing compared to other sources. However, they are still just a middleman and not in control of delivery, placement or pick-up. This could become an issue if, for example, you need to change the delivery date or dumpster size.
\n\nIn any case, finding a local dumpster provider that has their own inventory of containers is generally the best case scenario in terms of pricing and getting the dumpster delivered where and when you need it.
\n\nDon’t make the same mistake this roofer made. Due diligence goes a long way, as does finding a dumpster company that has a positive reputation within the community. Hometown publishes dumpster rental reviews that can help you find a reputable source anywhere across the nation. Learn more by checking out the links below:

If there were ever an example of why you should get quotes from multiple dumpster rental companies, this is it. This is a real example of how a roofing contractor nearly paid $155 more than he should've by unknowingly booking a roll-off container from a dumpster broker.

\r\n\r\nThe weight of shingles is arguably the biggest consideration when choosing the right dumpster size for a re-roofing project.
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster is physically big enough to accommodate a large roof tear-off, but it rarely can accommodate the weight, which is why we recommend estimating the weight of the debris first, then choosing the dumpster size that can hold that weight.
\r\n\r\nLocal companies almost always offer the best service, prices, availability, and response times.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend reaching out to several local dumpster providers to find the right roll-off container size to accommodate your project and comparing each quote to ensure you rent from the right company for the right price.

\r\n\r\nThe average cost to rent a temporary dumpster is anywhere from $300-$500, but the cost you will pay depends on a number of factors, like the size of the dumpster you rent, where you live, who you rent from, etc.
\r\n\r\nDumpster sizes are measured by their cubic yardage, and the most common sizes are 10 yards, 20 yards, 30 yards, and 40 yards.
\r\n\r\nThe 3 biggest factors that you should consider when choosing a dumpster size are:
\r\n\r\nWhich is best: a trailer dumpster or roll-off dumpster rental?
\r\n\r\nBoth types of dumpsters are great options for a wide range of projects. Trailer dumpsters are best for very tight spaces, small projects, or when the dumpster needs to be placed on an old driveway or other easily impacted surface.
\r\n\r\nTrailer dumpster costs vary a great deal depending on the size of the dumpster, where you live, and who you hire.
\r\n\r\nOn average, it costs $150-$450 for a trailer dumpster.
\r\n\r\nBecause trailer dumpsters come in multiple sizes, they can hold varying amounts.
\r\n\r\nThe most common trailer dumpster sizes fall between 5 yards and 15 yards, meaning they can hold 5 cubic yards and 15 cubic yards respectively.
\r\n\r\nHowever, the weight of your dumpster load will also impact how much you can load in the dumpster. Be sure not to go over your dumpster’s included weight limit to avoid overage fees.

\r\n\r\nThe dumpster size that is right for your particular project will vary based on how much debris you have and the type/weight of it.
\r\n\r\nIn addition, some rental companies only authorize 20 yard dumpsters for use on yard waste disposal projects due to the heavy nature of yard debris, while others may allow yard debris in 30 or 40 yarders.
