Dumpster Service questions, answered by experts

Only throw soil in a dumpster rental if you have permission in your contract to do so. Organic materials such as soil often make the list of items that shouldn't go in a dumpster, but this depends on the agreement. Some dumpster companies will accept non-contaminated soil as well as rocks, yard debris, and compost.

The average cost to rent a dumpster is around $400 per week, but the price can range from as low as $80 to over $850. The final cost depends on several factors, primarily the dumpster's size, the type of material you're disposing of, and the length of the rental period. A standard 20-yard dumpster often falls within the average price range, while smaller dumpsters or dumpster bags are cheaper, and larger 40-yard dumpsters are more expensive. Expect to pay more if you need the dumpster for longer than the typical one-week rental period.

Most municipalities allow dumpsters with proper permitting to sit on the street for up to a month, but you might need to file for extensions throughout that time to maintain your permit. You should always check with your local building department and your HOA if you’re a part of one to make sure you avoid fines.

They provide efficient waste disposal, comply with local regulations, and handle large debris safely, reducing environmental hazards.

Composting can be a great alternative if you’re looking for a way to dispose of food scraps without a garbage disposal. If you have the space in your yard, you can install a compost bin or compost pile and add food waste. After enough time and heat, the compost will break down and can be used to mulch your garden. 

If you don’t have space for compost, consider city-run programs or local companies that will pick up your food waste.
