Is it worth hiring a professional for garbage removal?

Depending on the type and amount of junk, you could be looking at a very labor-intensive job, dumping fees, dumpster charges, and potentially unsafe working conditions. Hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-signs-quality-junk-removal-services.htm">professional junk removal company</a> not only saves you time and energy and keeps you safe, but it also means you don’t have to worry about carting the junk away or coordinating a dumpster and getting a permit for it.</p></div>

What size dumpster do I need?

• <div><p>Most people who rent a dumpster choose a 20-yard dumpster, which should be large enough for the following:</p><ul><li><p>Bathroom remodels</p></li><li><p>Home cleanouts</p></li><li><p>Roof replacement</p></li><li><p>Large-scale landscaping projects</p></li></ul><p>A 10-yard dumpster is suitable for the following projects:</p><ul><li><p>Small bathroom remodel</p></li><li><p>Patio or deck demolition</p></li><li><p>Small landscaping projects</p></li></ul><p>You might need a 30- or 40-yard dumpster for the following projects:</p><ul><li><p>Large construction projects</p></li><li><p>Large demolition projects</p></li><li><p>Whole home renovations</p></li></ul><p>You can ask your local dumpster rental company what size dumpster you need based on the specific project you have lined up.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy or rent a roll-off dumpster?

• <div><p>Since roll-off dumpsters are usually for one-time jobs, you&rsquo;ll probably want to rent one. However, you can always purchase a dumpster in the future if you believe you&rsquo;ll use it frequently and have the space to store it.</p></div>

Q: Where is the best place to put a dumpster?

• <div><p>The ideal dumpster location is flat, accessible, and out of the way. If local guidelines allow it, a street, driveway, or paved area near or in front of your home is a good option. However, you should avoid soft ground, tight corners, or blocking entrances. If you live in a neighborhood with restrictions, always check with your city or HOA before placing a dumpster.</p></div>

Q: How much does truck or container rental cost?

• <div><p>Depending on truck size or container capacity, rental costs range from $20 to $100 per day. Additional mileage or insurance fees may apply.</p></div>
