1. Choose the Right Size
When renting a dumpster, it can be hard to determine what size you need. You don’t want to end up paying for space you aren’t going to utilize, but you also want to ensure enough room for your trash.
Additionally, you must ensure that the dumpster you’re renting can fit in your driveway and won’t damage the asphalt or sidewalk. Get in touch with the dumpster rental service to figure out sizing.
2. Choose a Trustworthy Dumpster Rental Service
While there are many dumpster rental services available, not all of them are created equally. When choosing a dumpster rental service, always make sure the company is licensed, bonded, and has great reviews.
At Quality Waste Disposal, we prioritize your protection and are licensed, bonded, and fully insured. This makes your dumpster rental experience stress-free.
3. Pick a Good Location
A dumpster is a large item you’ll need space for. Pick a good location beforehand, so you’re prepared when your dumpster arrives.
In addition to clearing a path, you can ensure you have plenty of space to move large objects like furniture.
If you have a lot of material to clear out, work smarter, not harder, by ensuring the dumpster is closer to the house or building so you don’t have to carry items too far.
4. Know How to Fill the Dumpster
Yes, there’s a right way to fill the dumpster.
In fact, knowing how to fill a dumpster effectively can help you save space. Organizing your trash is a good idea because you’ll know how to place things inside the dumpster evenly.
Breaking down boxes can also help conserve space. Also, note that putting lighter items on the bottom and placing bulky and heavy items on top will help push down the lighter items and make more space.
5. Book Your Dumpster in Advance
There are only so many dumpsters available on any given day, and companies may not have any available if you call the day before. Instead of taking a chance and risking getting no dumpster, book yours in advance and get your dumpster on time.
6. Get a Quote Beforehand
Dumpster rental services have varying prices, so it’s in your best interest to ask for a quote.
In addition to making sure you get the best possible price, you will also know how much you have to pay so you can ensure you have the right amount. The right company will give you an estimate, so you don’t have to be surprised later.
