Why Should I Rent a Dumpster?

There are several reasons people in Charlotte NC are renting dumpsters. Generally, roll off containers are the most convenient way to get rid of a lot of trash or debris at once. Whenever you have a project that will require throwing out a lot of waste, a dumpster is the smartest move. Some example projects that might require a dumpster are:

  1. A Major Cleaning Project

    Susan lives in Coventry Woods in East Charlotte, and she's cleaning out her garage over the weekend. Since she doesn't have a pickup truck, it's easier for her to rent a 10-yard dumpster. She doesn't even have to be home when it's delivered or picked up.

  2. Remodeling

    In Wesley Heights, Jonah is remodeling his living room. With five kids running around the house, he needs to make sure that his work area is safe, so he is renting a construction dumpster to keep all the debris out of the way.

  3. Estate Cleanout

    Mark's great-aunt passed away, and he inherited her property in Myer's Park. He's cleaning the house up so that he can rent it out. A thirty-yard dumpster is big enough to do the trick.

People in neighborhoods all over Charlotte use dumpsters to make their projects quicker and safer. You don't have to spend all weekend going back and forth to the waste facilities and recycling centers, saving you time and money on gas and dumping fees.

How Is Dumpster Price Determined?

Many people think it's super expensive to rent a dumpster, but that's not the case. When you factor in how much it costs to transport your waste yourself and dump it at a facility, the price is very comparable. A dumpster rental also saves you a lot of time and hassle.

There's no way to tell what the price will be for your dumpster until you contact us with specific details about your project, or get a quote. The cost depends on three factors:

Where you are located makes a difference because it costs more money to transport your waste if you're further away from a facility.

On top of that, every waste facility has a different fee structure, so your cost depends on where your waste goes. We make sure to only work with accredited facilities, so there are no gimmicks when it comes to the price you are charged for disposal.

There are different fees for each type of material at every facility. Some materials, like concrete or organic waste, need to be put in a dedicated dumpster to be recycled. Its important to pay attention to what is allowed in your specific dumpster, in order to avoid any contamination fees when your waste is taken to a facility.

Leaves, grass clippings, shrubs, and branches are lighter than most other waste - so why pay for more than what you need? We provide dedicated landscaping dumpsters with relevant weight limits. Not only will you save money when renting a dumpster for yard waste, but you'll help us divert organic waste from landfills.

On the other hand, bulkier and heavier materials cost more to transport than lighter ones, which is why we have special bins like concrete dumpsters which aren't charged by weight limit.

Ask us about weight limits if you're unsure which one to choose. We have the knowledge and expertise you need from working with thousands of projects.

    How Does the Dumpster Drop Off and Pick Up Work?

    With Sourgum Waste you can order your dumpster online. If you'd rather, you can call us at 732-366-9355 or send us an email at support@sourgum.com to order your dumpster. Once you place your order, your dumpster will be delivered on your preferred date, and you can call for pickup when you're done filling it up.

    Whether or not you need a dumpster permit depends on where the container is placed, what kind of dumpster you are renting, and where you are located.

    To find out if you need a dumpster permit for your rental, contact your waste disposal company or visit the City of Charlotte's Right-of-Way Management page.

    Your dumpster will be delivered on the day that you requested it. Make sure to be next to your phone so you receive the alerts about our drop-off ETA. You can even get same-day or next-day delivery if it is available.

    Make sure that there are sixty feet of space in front of where the dumpster is to be placed, and at least 23 feet of vertical space clear from wires or tree branches. Also, clear the area of obstructions and ensure that there are no vehicles in the area when the dumpster is delivered.

    You don't need to be home when your dumpster is delivered, but you can ask for a delivery window so you can be there when it arrives. You can also sign up for text alerts to get updates on your phone about when your dumpster is on its way or when it has been delivered.

    Once you have your dumpster, you can start filling it up! Make sure to never fill your dumpster above the rim, and load your dumpster evenly. Both of these are extremely important for transporting the dumpster safely.

    When you're done filling up your dumpster, you can simply call and have it picked up, or login to your customer account and request the pickup there. Otherwise, we will pick it up when your 14-day rental period expires.

    After your dumpster is picked up it goes to a transfer station where it is weighed. If you are within the weight limit that you ordered, you're done. If you went over the limit, you will be charged an excess weight fee and will receive an email with a detailed account of the charges.

    Renting a dumpster through Sourgum Waste is easy, but here are a few pitfalls to avoid so you don't overpay:

    • Keep the material below the rim of the container. It's not safe to haul when it's overflowing.

    • Distribute the weight evenly when you load it to make it safer to haul, especially for heavy materials like construction waste or concrete.

    • Use dedicated dumpsters for materials that can be recycled or heavy materials like dirt.

    • Plan your project and dumpster rental so that you don't have to pay for an extension.

    • Keep your dumpster clean on the outside, and avoid spilling latex paints, glues, and other messy materials on the outside.

    • Don't put hazardous materials in a dumpster. Always call or ask questions if you aren't sure.
