Why Would I Need a Dumpster Rental?

Depending on your waste needs, you might need a dumpster for your project. There are a lot of different scenarios that could require you to rent a dumpster. Here are some of the top reasons:

Decluttering

You might need a dumpster if you are considering emptying out your garage and getting rid of accumulated items. It is easy to keep storing things we no longer need without paying attention to the large pile of trash that quickly adds up. Decluttering allows you to maximize your space and get some use out of discarded items.

Renovations

Remodeling and renovating parts of your house can generate a lot more waste than your regular trash container can handle. So you might need to rent a dumpster to help you get rid of the pulled-down walls and everything in between.

Landscaping

From trees, shrubs, yard debris, and everything you need to get rid of for proper landscaping, you can quickly have more trash than a trash container can handle. If you have a landscaping project coming up, you should have a dumpster delivered.

Demolition and Construction

A construction site is a home to trash. Job sites for full-on construction or demolition are considerably safer and better managed when you have a good waste management system. You also keep your job efficiency up when you get a dumpster onsite to use for routine trash pick-ups.

How to Order a Dumpster Rental in Durham County NC

Renting a dumpster can be confusing, but it doesn't have to be. There are four main steps you need to know when it comes to getting a dumpster rental.

  1. Pick a Dumpster Size, Type, Weight Limit

    Before you place an order for a dumpster or receive a quote for a dumpster, you should know the dumpster size you'll need, the type of material you'll be getting rid of, and the weight limit you'll need.

  2. Place Your Order

    Once you've figured out these details, you can place your order. We offer three ways to order through us for your convenience—over the phone, by email, or online.

  3. Receive Your Dumpster

    You do not have to be physically present for your dumpster delivery, just give us instructions for the dumpster placement. You can also sign up to receive delivery alerts if you want to be home or want to know when your dumpster's ETA. Once you've received your dumpster, you can start filling it!

  4. Call Us For Pickup

    Once the two-week period of your rental service ends, call us for the dumpster to be picked up or extend the duration of your rental. Our trucks will come to pick up the dumpster and you'll receive an invoice once we've dumped your trash.

What Is the Cost of Renting a Dumpster?

In Durham County dumpster rentals start at $375, but to get an accurate pricing estimate, you'll need to consider four things: your location, the type of materials you plan to discard, the dumpster size you'll need, and the weight limit you'll need. You'll have to estimate the amount of waste you will generate, but our dumpster sizes page can guide you. There you'll find the best uses for each size of dumpster.

For instance, if your project is a single-room renovation, a 10-yard dumpster with a weight limit of 1.5 tons would likely suffice.

There are four primary factors to consider when it comes to dumpster pricing: location, material, size, and weight limits.

  • Location: The distance your waste must travel and the facility it's delivered to depend on your location. Moreover, not all waste facilities accept all types of waste which can involve additional hauling time, and dumping fees for different materials and weights change depending on the facility.

  • Material: Different materials can have varying volumes, weights, recyclability, and toxicity levels. They can also be charged different dumping prices per material. While some materials can be easily and efficiently recycled, others are more challenging and costly to process due to their toxicity or non-recyclability.

  • Size: The size of the dumpster is a crucial factor in determining the cost of your rental. It's essential to select the best dumpster size for your waste disposal needs to avoid overpaying for space or overfilling your dumpster.

  • Weight Limits: Weight limits refer to the maximum amount of waste allowed in the dumpster. Exceeding the limit can result in additional fees. Accurately estimating the amount of waste you plan to dispose of and selecting an appropriate weight limit is important to avoid additional fees.

Our customer service team can provide expert guidance to help you make the best choices for your specific needs.

Dumpster Sizes Available in Durham County

The dumpster size you need depends on the amount of waste you need to get rid of as certain dumpsters are better fits for certain projects. For example, the 10-yard dumpster is great for single-room renovations but would be too small for a multi-room renovation.

Our dumpsters are measured in cubic yards and may vary in dimensions slightly. Below is a breakdown of the different sizes of dumpsters and some of their use cases:

10 Yard Roll Off Dumpster

    Common Dumpster Rental Mistakes

    At our company, we prioritize honesty and transparency in our pricing. That's why we provide you with information to avoid getting charged additional fees from the dumping facilities. To avoid overpaying for your rental, we recommend avoiding these mistakes that can lead to extra charges.

    For the safe and secure transportation of your dumpster, please ensure that all garbage is kept below the rim of the dumpster. An overflowing dumpster poses a hazard that cannot be safely hauled.


    While it may seem like placing heavy items on top of lighter ones would help compact the contents, it can create unsafe hauling conditions. To load a dumpster safely, we recommend placing large, bulky items at the bottom and filling any gaps with smaller items.

    If your dumpster rental company is unable to drop off or pick up your dumpster at the designated location due to obstructions or vehicles blocking the area, you may incur a trip fee. To avoid this additional charge, please ensure that the designated location for the dumpster drop-off or pickup is easily accessible.

    At our company, we provide a complimentary rental period of 14 days with all dumpster rentals. If you require additional time, we do offer extensions for a nominal daily fee for each day beyond the complimentary period. To avoid incurring additional fees, we recommend completing your project within the rental period.

    Hazardous waste should never be disposed of in a dumpster, as it requires special handling and disposal procedures. To ensure that you are properly disposing of your waste, please review the guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited items that can be placed in a dumpster.
