Get matched with top dumpster providers in Iowa, LA

We need junk removal services for certain projects because they know how to dispose of all kinds of junk safely, including hazardous materials. For example, they could tell you what is considered electronic waste and will know how to dispose of it properly. This means they take proper precautions to ensure the environmental impact is mitigated and everyone's health and safety are taken into consideration when removing junk.

The cheapest junk removal option is often through your city's bulk trash and recycling program, but this depends on the item in question. If your city doesn't accept the type of debris you want to remove, hiring a local junk removal team or renting a dumpster is your best bet. Additionally, research local dumps open to the public if the debris safely fits in your car.

The length of time you can keep a dumpster in your driveway depends on local guidelines and your rental provider’s policies. Many companies offer rentals for 5 to 10 days, while others allow extended periods. Many cities limit the total dumpster time for residential areas, typically to no more than 30 days per year. To avoid fines or issues, check with your local public works office and your dumpster rental company to understand the specific limits in your area.

Unless you plan to use a dump trailer for business purposes, it will be hard to justify the cost of buying one. Even a small, used 6-by-10-foot model could set you back as much as $5,000, and larger, high-quality models can cost up to $15,000 to buy brand-new.
