Get matched with top dumpster providers in Bourg, LA

The most common dumpster size to rent is 20 cubic yards. This size dumpster can be used for a variety of projects, including home renovations, decluttering, and even minor construction projects. On average, a 20-yard dumpster costs between $275 and $700 to rent, though your cost may be higher or lower depending on the demand in your area.

Sometimes you may be able to leave the bags with your regular trash. However, that’s not always the case. Call your local waste management prior to starting the removal and ask about the proper ways to recycle or dispose of removed insulation. In many cases, your town or municipality has a designated dumpster for building waste.

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.

A standard couch will likely fit in a 10-yard dumpster easily. You may be able to fit a large or oversized couch in a dumpster of this size, but you’ll probably have to break it down as much as possible first. If you’re concerned your couch is too big, ask a local dumpster rental company for advice on which size dumpster you need.
