There are many reasons why people rent a dumpster. Some people have a lot of trash and need a dumpster to clean their homes. Other people rent dumpsters for special projects, such as a roof replacement or renovation.
Regardless of the reason for renting the roll-off dumpster, it doesn't have to be a complicated or lengthy process. Below are the five simple steps to renting a dumpster. By following these steps, a person can make their dumpster rental experience go smoothly.
Step one: rent a properly sized dumpster
The price of the dumpster depends on the amount of garbage the dumpster contains. The bigger the dumpster, the more rubbish a person can throw away and the more the rent costs. Make sure the rented dumpster is big enough to hold all of the trash. If the dumpster is too small, a person doesn't have the space they need to throw everything away. It is wise to overestimate the size of the dumpster you will need. Renting a dumpster that is too small can incur additional fees as the garbage company must pick up and dispose of the dumpster before the person can proceed with their projects.
Step two: choose a trustworthy dumpster company
There are thousands of garbage companies out there, but many are superior to the others. Before you sign on the dotted line and rent a dumpster, do a little research and make sure the garbage company is reputable. Check out the online review sites, the Better Business Bureau, and past clients. Choosing a seedy garbage company could mean surprise fees, poor customer service, or worse.
Step three: be ready for the garbage collection
The dumpster must be on a level and level floor. Make sure the dumpster arrives by making sure the area is ready for the dumpster. Before delivering the dumpster, clear the area of vehicles, bicycles, toys, and debris.
Step four: fill it up
Now comes the fun part of filling up the dumpster. This is the moment people have been looking forward to, clearing the trash out of the house, or clearing the trash out of the project. Before filling up the dumpster, ask the landlord about the rules for the amount of waste allowed in the dumpster. Some companies only allow customers to fill the dump truck seventy-five percent. Other companies may allow the dumpster to be completely filled as long as the trash and debris is below the top of the dumpster. Overfilling the dumpster can result in additional charges. So make sure you understand the dumpster guidelines before filling the dumpster to the brim.
Step five: prepare for the dumpster pickup
With all of the trash in the dumpster, it's time to schedule a pickup. This is the final step in the rental process. Just as you prepared for the dumpster to be delivered, so should a person prepare for the dumpster to be picked up. Make sure all vehicles, swings, toys, and foreign objects are out of the way. Some companies set the pick-up date when setting the delivery date. Other companies have a customer call when they're ready to get the dumpster away.
In summary, the five steps above are associated with renting a dumpster. With a little preparation, this can be a painless and fun process. When the dumpster is gone, the house should be free of debris and the homeowner can move on to their next house project.
