Get matched with top dumpster providers in Avoca, IA

There are several types of small dumpsters that you can rent, and they all vary slightly in size. Roll-off dumpsters are typically between 10 and 12 yards and are among the most common and convenient options because you can simply roll off your trash rather than removing it by hand. Commercial dumpsters range from 2 to 10 yards in size and are often used to collect daily trash. Finally, bag dumpsters are the smallest option you have at 2 to 5 yards, but they’re also the most inconvenient because you have to personally carry them on and off your truck.

If waste is not collected, you must first determine the reason why. Once you know your area's trash pickup rules and restrictions, you can contact a waste removal service, rent a dumpster, or take your trash to the appropriate disposal facility.

A dump trailer consists of an open box bed with a short barrier that’s equipped with wheels and can be easily attached to a vehicle for transportation. This option is a favorite because it’s easy to navigate to and from destinations and is ideal for hauling small waste quantities. On the flip side, a dumpster may not have such features and will need to be loaded onto rather than attached to a vehicle to get it where you want to go. Check out the cost to rent a dump trailer or even the cost of junk removal when deciding between your options.

The amount a 6-by-10-foot dump trailer can hold varies depending on the model. Generally, however, they can hold at least 4 cubic yards of waste with a load capacity of at least 4,000 lbs. This is around 1/4 to 1/2 the amount a standard junk removal truck can hold. It’s also considerably less than the most common dumpster size of 20 cubic yards.
