Container rental price tips
1. How long do you need the rental? When you rent a dumpster, they usually give it to you for a week or two. Most small renovation projects should only take 1-2 weeks. If you have a larger project, like building a section on your house, you’ll need to work out the details when you call them or visit their website.
2. Rent dumpsters locally. If you rent from your local transfer service then you will pay a cheaper price. This is because many of the local rental services are local and family owned. They don’t have the overhead of Waste Management or Allied Waste, which makes them almost always more expensive. Rent local and save money
3. How much is the weekly dumpster rental? This price depends on the area of the country you live in and can change drastically from state to state. The price also varies depending on the size of the container, since the price changes considerably from one size to another.
Check out the resources below for a detailed understanding of dumpster sizes and prices.
4. Compare local businesses You should call at least 2-3 rental services to compare prices, featured services, and check what sizes of dumpsters they have available.
Many companies do not like to post their prices on websites; they like phone calls. Collect the prices of all the dumpsters you call and use them as ammunition. Most add-on rental services will meet or exceed competitive prices.
Featured services include same day pickup, cash discounts, longer rental periods and many more. Based on your needs, you can decide which services will benefit you the most based on your situation.
Not all businesses stock dumpsters the same size as other businesses. Most rental service companies will have the common sizes; 10, 20 and 30 yard dumpsters. Some specialize in smaller dumpsters, like the 3-, 6-, and 9-yard dumpsters for smaller projects. Some specialize in holding larger dumpsters like a 40 yard, which are typically used for construction projects.
