Dumpster Rental Pricing Factors

If you are planning a renovation project or clean out for your New York home, chances are good that you will need a dumpster to properly dispose of your waste. Instead of spending several thousands of dollars on purchasing one, it makes much more sense to rent. If you are in the process of searching for a dumpster rental provider and gathering quotes, you may notice price disparities between different companies. In order to understand why dumpster rental prices can vary so much, it is important to understand what factors are involved in determining a rental price. These factors are:



  • Dumpster Size. This is the most obvious factor that impacts the price of your dumpster rental. The bigger the dumpster you need, the more money it is going to cost you.
  • Location. Your location also plays a role in determining how much you will pay when you rent your next dumpster. There are a few reasons for this; firstly, transporting a dumpster is not free for the company. The further they have to drive, the more it will cost them, and the more it will cost you. Your proximity to the nearest disposal site will also be taken into consideration, as well as the different fees that these sites charge to unload your waste.
  • Duration of Rental. The average length of a dumpster rental is between 7-10 days. Usually, each company will have a specify how long their rental period is; if you want to rent it for a longer period of time, you will have to pay extra (usually per day).
  • Other Fees. Not all materials all created equally, especially when it comes to dumpster rentals. Certain items, such as household appliances, electronics, mattresses, and car tires require special treatment in order to be properly disposed. Most companies will not accept these items unless you pay an additional fee.
At 1-866-We-Junk-It, we provide Long Island and New York City home- and business-owners with reasonable dumpster rental rates for their residential and commercial projects. To get a free quote for your next project and receive a $25 discount off your rental, call us today at 1-866-935-8654.

Things That Can’t Go in Your Rental Dumpster

If you
are planning a home renovation or large clean out project, chances
are you will need to rent a dumpster for your waste disposal needs.
While many people imagine dumpsters to be a large metal box that you
can throw anything in, that is not the case. There are certain items
which cannot be thrown in your rental dumpster, such as:

  • Toxic Waste. This
    is a broad category and can cover many items such as asbestos,
    batteries, fluorescent lights, and items which contain mercury such
    as thermometers. All of these items are dangerous to the environment
    and must be properly disposed of.
  • Hazardous Materials.
    This includes electronics and appliances such as televisions,
    computers, and refrigerators. It also includes pesticides and other
    types of poisons.
  • Medical Waste.
    Medical waste cannot be thrown
    in the dumpster because it presents a hazard to both people and
    wildlife. If a person was to come in contact with a used needle for
    example, they may have to be heavily medicated for weeks to prevent
    infection.
  • Paints &
    Solvents.
    If you are cleaning
    out a garage, shed, attic, or basement, you may come across old cans
    of paint and be tempted to throw them away – don’t do it. Paint
    contains harmful chemicals that have been known to contaminate water
    sources.
This
list is not exhaustive. If you are unsure about whether or not an
item can go in your rental dumpster, ask one of our experts by
calling 1-866-935-8654. For more than 15 years, 1-866-We-Junk-It has
provided Long Island and New York City with high-quality dumpster
rentals and clean out services. To learn more about what we can do

Dumpster Loading Tips

When
loaded properly, rental dumpsters can hold a lot of waste and be a
completely safe process. However, poor loading technique can not only
present potential safety hazards, it can waste valuable space and
even force you into renting a second dumpster. Use these tips to make
renting your next dumpster as smooth as possible.

  • Keep
    the path from the worksite to the dumpster as short as possible and
    clear of tripping hazards.
  • Avoid
    loading the dumpster above the indicated maximum fill line.
  • Load
    the dumpster evenly to distribute weight and prevent tipping.
  • Always
    wear proper safety equipment: gloves, boots, and a form of eye
    protection.
  • Try
    to make the debris inside the dumpster as compact as possible. Large
    gaps or empty spaces can cause items to dangerously shift when the
    dumpster is picked up.
  • Do
    not get in the dumpster and jump on debris in an attempt to compact
    it.
  • Break
    things down before throwing them away to make an efficient use of
    space.
  • Do
    not throw debris in the dumpster if someone is inside of it.

Dumpster Rentals vs. Dumpster Bags

As the
reach of the internet has grown, people have gained more and more
access to all kinds of information. Among this information includes
step-by-step instructions for projects that homeowners would normally
hire a contractor for. Because of the resources now available to
them, many of these homeowners are now tackling projects themselves
using the DIY (Do It Yourself) attitude.

One
thing you will have to consider before starting your next project is
your waste disposal needs. Is a dumpster rental really necessary or
can you save yourself some money and get by with a dumpster bag?
Dumpster Bags
Dumpster
bags are a relatively new product that have become popular with
homeowners due to their low cost and convenience. If you are
completing a small home improvement project with minimal amounts of
waste and debris, dumpster bags are an adequate disposal solution.
Here are pros and cons of dumpster bags:
  • Good
    for small projects with minimal debris
  • No
    time limit on rentals
  • Cheaper
    than renting dumpsters
  • Less
    room than dumpsters
  • Flimsy
    and unstable
  • Slow
    pick ups
Dumpster Rentals
Renting
a traditional dumpster from a company such as 1-866-We-Junk-It is an
easy way to dispose of any waste from a home clean out or renovation.
People often underestimate the amount of junk that will need to be
thrown away, so they think they can get by with a dumpster bag. Then
it turns out that the bag cannot accommodate their needs and they
wind up wasting their money. Some advantages and disadvantages of
dumpsters are:
  • Quick
    delivery and pickups
  • Sturdy
    enough for furniture, bricks and concrete, etc.
  • More
    expensive than dumpster bags
If you
are cleaning out or renovating your New York home in the upcoming
months and will need to rent a dumpster, count on the services of
1-866-We-Junk-It. Call us at 1-866-935-8654 today for a free quote.

4 Tips for Cleaning Out Your Home

Every
year, thousands of homeowners make a resolution to get rid of the
clutter in their homes. If spring cleaning will be coming early for
you in 2015, use these tips to make your home clean-out as efficient
as possible.

Use the one year rule.
When
deciding what should stay in your house and what should go, follow
the one year rule. The rule is simple: if you haven’t used something
in a year, get rid of it. Be honest with yourself, if you haven’t
used an item in a full 365 days, what are the chances you will ever
use it again? Is the small chance you will one day need it worth the
space that it is taking up in your home? The answer is no, so throw
it away and forget about it.
Take baby steps.
Cleaning
out one room can feel overwhelming, let alone your entire house. If
the clutter is too much for you, break your house down into small
portions. Focus on one room at a time, and then break the individual
rooms into smaller pieces. For example, if you are cleaning a
bedroom, first focus on the closet, then under the bed, then the
dresser, etc. Just work piece by piece until the entire room is
sorted and cleaned, then move on to the next one. Before you know it,
your house will be as clean as it was the day you moved in!
When in doubt, throw it
out.
Have
you ever heard the rule of clothes shopping that states, “if you
don’t absolutely love it in the store, don’t buy it because you won’t
wear it”? This rule is similar to that, but it applies to cleaning
out your home. When sorting through all of your possessions, is
inevitable that you will pick something up and not know whether to
put it in the “keep” pile or the trash can. If you are not
absolutely positive that you will use the item again, odds are good
that you probably won’t, so toss it out or donate it to charity.
Call 1-866-We-Junk-It.

you need a dumpster to store all of your garbage or you are in need
of your whole basement, attic, or garage being cleaned out, you can
call 1-866-We-Junk-It. We are the leading junk removal service on
