What to Know When You Rent a Roll Off Dumpster

Nov 08, 2022

A roll off dumpster is a large container that is delivered to your home or business for the purpose of disposing of large amounts of waste. The contents can be anything from construction debris to old furniture and appliances. If you're undertaking a large project, such as a home renovation, then you may need to rent a roll off dumpster in order to dispose of all the waste safely and efficiently. Here are five things you need to know about a roll off dumpster rental, from choosing the right size to filling and emptying it.


1. How to Choose the Right Roll Off Dumpster Rental Size for Your Needs

The size of roll off dumpster you will need will depend on the size of your project. For example, a small home renovation may only generate a few cubic yards of waste, so you could get away with renting a 10-yard dumpster.



On the other hand, a large home renovation or construction project could generate several hundred cubic yards of waste, so you would need to rent a 30- or 40-yard dumpster. When doing a full house clean out, a large-scale home remodeling project, or a roof replacement, according to Home Guide, you should get a 40-yard dumpster. When you choose the right size, you won't have to worry about renting out a dumpster over and over again!


2. How to Order a Roll Off Dumpster Rental

If you've decided that you need to rent a roll off dumpster, the first step is to find a reputable company that offers this service. You can do an online search or ask for recommendations from friends or family who have used this type of service before. Once you have found a company, you'll need to provide them with some basic information about your needs, such as the estimated amount of waste and the start and end dates for your rental. The company will then deliver the dumpster to your home or business on the agreed-upon date. Be sure to check with your town, city, or county to see if any permits are needed.


3. Loading and Unloading the Dumpster

Once the roll off dumpster has been delivered, you can begin loading it with waste. It's important to fill the dumpster evenly so that it does not become overloaded and difficult to move. You should also avoid putting any hazardous materials in the dumpster, such as paint or chemicals. There will be restrictions on what you can put into the dumpster for safety reasons, so ask your rental company if you're not sure about something. Once you've filled the dumpster, you can call the rental company to come and pick it up.


4. Tips for Filling the Dumpster

  • Fill the dumpster evenly to avoid overloading it.
  • Do not put any hazardous materials in the dumpster.
  • Make sure the contents are not sticking up above the sides of the dumpster, as this could make it difficult to close the lid or cover.
  • Make sure the roll off dumpster is placed in an accessible location.
  • Avoid putting the dumpster too close to your home or business, as this could create a nuisance.
  • If you are filling the dumpster with construction debris, try to separate the materials into different piles for easier loading.
  • When finished, sweep up any loose debris around the dumpster before calling for pickup.


5. Clean Up After Your Project Is Complete

Once your project is finished and the roll off dumpster has been picked up, you'll need to do a final cleanup of your workspace. This includes sweeping up any debris that may have fallen outside of the dumpster as well as cleaning up any mess that was made while loading or unloading it. You don't want to be fined for leaving junk on the road or curb.


A roll off dumpster rental is a great way to safely dispose of large amounts of waste from your home or business renovation project. By following these tips, you can make sure the process goes smoothly from start to finish. Are you ready to get started with your next home improvement or clean-out?
