Dumpster Rental in Durham County, NC

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.

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.

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.

These are some of the most common types of dumpsters people in Durhham rent from us:

1. Construction Dumpsters: These are large roll-off dumpsters typically used at construction sites to dispose of building materials, such as lumber, drywall, insulation, roofing, and flooring. They come in a range of sizes, from 10 yards to 40 yards, and are designed to handle heavy debris.

2. Concrete Dumpsters: As the name suggests, these dumpsters are specifically designed for the disposal of concrete and other heavy debris, such as bricks, tiles, and rocks. They are typically smaller than construction dumpsters, with sizes ranging from 10 yards to 20 yards.

3. Yard Waste Dumpsters: These dumpsters are used for disposing of organic waste, such as grass clippings, leaves, branches, and other yard debris. They are typically available in sizes ranging from 10 yards to 20 yards.

4. Household Junk Dumpsters: These dumpsters are designed for the disposal of general household waste, such as old furniture, appliances, electronics, and other miscellaneous items. They are available in a range of sizes, from 10 yards to 40 yards.

It's worth noting that there are other types of dumpsters available as well. Check with us to determine which dumpster type is right for your specific needs.

Generally, hazardous waste such as those highlighted above can be deposited with the Durham Household Hazardous Waste Center if they are in small manageable quantities. Alternatively, you can search specific items directly using the county's online tool.

Similarly, if you have some electronic items you no longer use, you should try to drop them off for recycling or donate or thrift them. Electronic waste should not be put in a dumpster, nor should you try to dispose of it yourself, as this can harm you and others.
