Save Time, Effort and Money by Following These Guidelines
When it comes to extensive trash, you’ll find you need more than just your average trash bin for trash removal – much more; so very much more. Whether you are spring cleaning, getting ready for a move, or remodeling your home, the type of waste equipment you need is vital to the convenience and ease of your project. Dumpster rental, though basic in nature, does come with certain complications that promise to make the process a convoluted mess of sizes, costs and material needs. Understanding your situation and your need for waste removal will help you save time, effort, frustration and most of all…money. Renting the wrong size of dumpster, either too small or too large, can cost you a pretty penny. In which case, you may as well throw those hard-earned dollars right into the bin with the rest of your waste.
Here’s all you need to know about renting a dumpster:
- They come in a variety of sizes – From 2 yards at the small end, up to 40 yards on the large end, dumpsters of all types are designed to hold the number of cubic yards that their names state. So a 20-yd dumpster is meant to hold 20 cubic yards of waste or construction material.
- They are engineered for certain trash types – When you arrange to have a dumpster delivered, you will be asked about the nature of the trash that you will be loading into it. Gravel, dirt and other yard waste will need its own bin and should not be dumped with other house or construction waste. Heavier items such as concrete blocks may need special equipment or you could be fined for dumping them in the wrong receptacle. Be honest when discussing your waste bin needs.
- They can’t hold everything – Before you contact your dumpster rental company, understand that not all waste is accepted. Hazardous waste of any kind is illegal to dump and you must adhere to the restrictions placed on you or risk facing hefty fines. Make sure that any chemical that you look to dispose of is not considered hazardous material before you throw it out. Common household items that fall under the label of hazardous include used oil and oil filters, house paint and stains, partially-filled aerosol cans, fluorescent bulbs, dead batteries and other items. Check with the equipment rental company and the city of Albuquerque about any items you are unsure about.
- They can go fast – Don’t assume that a proper, right-sized dumpster will be available for your project when needed. They actually go fairly fast and can be rented for months at a time so reserve yours as soon as you know what you’ll need and when you’ll need it. Look for a rental company that can access your driveway easily, offers discounts on delivery or multiple dumps and one that has been rated highly by your local Better Business Bureau chapter.
