What is a roll-off dumpster?
A roll-of dumpster is a heavy-duty, open-top container for the easy on-location loading of items, trash and debris. They are easily moved and emptied as they are transported by special hydraulic equipped trucks that “roll-off’ the dumpster to a desired location. These highly mobile bins are typically used for short-term projects.
What size dumpster should I rent?
The size of your dumpster depends on the size of your project. Dumpsters are sized based on the number of cubic yards of waste they hold.
- A 15 yard dumpster is 8 feet wide x 14 feet long x 4 feet high. It holds 15 cubic yards or approximately 2 tons of waste. This is roughly equivalent to filling up the bed of four pick-up trucks or 75-105 trash bags. (Two tons of weight is included in our 15 yard dumpster rental price.)
- A 20 yard dumpster is 8 feet wide x 16 feet long x 8 feet high. It holds 20 cubic yards or approximately 3 tons of waste. This is roughly equivalent to filling up the bed of six pick-up trucks or 100-140 trash bags. (Three tons of weight is included in our 20 yard dumpster rental price.)
Note:
- 1 cubic yard = 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet wide.
- 1 ton = 2,000 lbs
- Weight varies based on the type of waste.
How much does it cost to rent a roll-off dumpster?
Roll-off dumpster rental prices are based upon the following:
- dumpster size
- duration of rental
- type of debris
- weight of debris
Other dumpster fees may apply:
- Overflow Fee: Any debris above the maximum fill line on an open top dumpster may incur this charge.
- Overload Fee: Loads that exceed the included capacity weight of a roll-off dumpster are added for each additional ton.
- Taxes: You will be charged federal, state and local taxes for your dumpster rental.
What items are not allowed to be placed in dumpsters?
Roll-off containers make for a quick and easy way to dispose of unwanted trash, construction debris, and demolition materials. But don’t be so quick to throw just anything into your roll-off dumpster!
