Generally, you should hire movers when moving large, heavy objects. Professional movers can take much of the work off your hands and remove the risk of personal injury. But if you’re only moving a few light items, you can save money by making the move on your own and renting a moving truck.

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.

No, you can’t throw anything in a dumpster. For example, organic waste should not be thrown in a dumpster. While you can throw recyclable materials in a dumpster, it is encouraged to separate them and properly recycle them for the sake of the environment.

The best way to determine the best dumpster size for your project is to speak with the dumpster rental company. These professionals have specific experience with fitting heavy and bulky items in their dumpsters and how to dispose of each item safely and legally. In most cases, the dumpster company will err on the side of caution and advise you to size up to avoid overage charges.
