A Guide to Renting a Dumpster for Large Construction Projects

Do you need dumpsters for your large construction job? Whether it’s new construction, a demolition, or remodeling project, making the dumpster rental process smooth is key. There are a few things to consider before renting a roll-off dumpster for large construction or demolition projects. We’ve put together a list of a few of these things!

Cost

It is generally more cost-effective to rent the largest dumpsters for the type of job and debris you’re working with. Going with the largest dumpster for your site might save you from having to rent more dumpsters in the future, which could save you several hundred dollars on disposal costs. 

Amount of Debris

An accurate estimate is critical to help minimize disposal costs. Once you have an idea of how much waste you’ll have, it’s much easier to determine what kind of roll-off dumpster you’ll need. For the biggest jobs, the use of a bigger dumpster, typically 30-40 cubic yards, might be the most viable option. Generally, 40-yard containers are the highest capacity offered in most areas. Keep in mind that some rental companies require you to use smaller containers for heavier materials. 

Things to Consider

1.Improved worksite efficiency

With proper planning, you can avoid or eliminate delays related to dumpster deliveries,pick-ups, and swap outs. It’s important to be clear with the rental company your disposal needs and schedule for your dumpster. If they can’t meet those needs, you may need to choose a different rental company. 

2.  Cleaner and safer job site

Rather than piling up your trash, throwing it out immediately in your dumpster will create a cleaner, safer work site. Keeping a clean work site is crucial for your employees safety on the job. Maintaining a clean, safe job site should be a top priority for contractors, so renting a dumpster can help!

3. Know the needs of the job

What this means is that contractors must estimate the number of dumpsters they’ll needfor an entire job, as well as determining whether they’ll need swap-outs. If you do need swap-outs, verify with the company that they can meet those demands before booking your dumpsters. Not all rental companies can accommodate every demand you may have for your large construction job, so make sure they can before you book.
