"What, I loved working with a dumpster company? It's true! Lincoln came when they said, protected the driveway and delivered the cleanest, nicest dumpster I ever had the privilege of filling. I warmly recommend Lincoln Removal."
"Great customer service and flexible with scheduling. They even came early one day because they were in the area. I’ll recommend them to anyone who wants junk removal."
"Dumpster was delivered on time and placed in driveway without leaving marks on my pavement. Picked up as soon as I ask to have it removed. Driver was very friendly and professional. Would recommend to any one needing a dumpster service."
"Prompt response… very professional! I have been without a sink for two weeks, called a few companies and no follow up.. Tejadas was able to fit me in right away.. they were at my home on time and did a great job cutting my granite countertop and positioned my sink to get installed by the plumber… I would definitely hire them again for any future jobs"
"Starling called me back right away and came over and gave quote. Was at my home 2 days later doing a fall clean up. Price was reasonable. Highly recommend!"
"We used Boston Junk Haulers for debris removal and cleanup at one of our job sites, and I was very pleased with their service. They were responsive, showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left the job site clean when they were finished. Very professional and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Boston Junk Haulers and will be using them again for future projects."
"My lawn needed a good dethatching, and when the crew arrived, the lawn was still wet. Instead of rushing the job, they came back later in the day and dethatched it once it had dried — exactly the way it should be done. Most landscapers would not have taken that extra step. They also edged the beds and added fresh mulch and compost. The crew was professional, attentive, and very responsive to my needs throughout the entire project. By far the best job done on my property in years at a fair price."
"David and Larry did an awesome job. They were careful with the furniture and the surrounding areas. They were professional and very very nice and they were on time and were quick to get the items out of the house. I am going to hire them again when it is time to move. They did a great job."
It’s called a 20-yard dumpster because the volume of space in the dumpster can hold 20 cubic yards of material. A cubic yard is 3-feet long, 3-feet wide, 3-feet tall cube, as 3 feet is equal to 1 yard. This volume can hold about 110 to 130 33-gallon trash bags.
The smallest dumpsters typically available for rent are 2 cubic yards. These are ideal for small cleanup jobs, minor home remodeling projects, or decluttering a garage. A 2-cubic-yard dumpster can generally hold around 400 pounds and often measures about 6 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet high. The cost to rent one typically ranges from $75 to $200 per week.
For even smaller jobs, or as an alternative, you can consider a dumpster bag. These come in various sizes (often 2 to 5 cubic yards) and can cost between $100 and $180 per week. Other small dumpster types include commercial dumpsters (starting at 2 yards) and small roll-off dumpsters (which usually start at 10 yards).
The average cost to rent a dumpster is around $400 per week, but the price can range from as low as $80 to over $850. The final cost depends on several factors, primarily the dumpster's size, the type of material you're disposing of, and the length of the rental period. A standard 20-yard dumpster often falls within the average price range, while smaller dumpsters or dumpster bags are cheaper, and larger 40-yard dumpsters are more expensive. Expect to pay more if you need the dumpster for longer than the typical one-week rental period.
Costs depend on dumpster size, rental duration, waste type, local fees, and additional weight charges.
You should consider hiring professional movers for moves that seem too daunting, dangerous, or involve large, heavy objects. The larger your home and the longer the distance, the more likely you are to need professional help. A moving service can take the hardest tasks off your plate and reduce the risk of personal injury. However, if you are only moving a few light items, you can save money by moving on your own and renting a truck. Keep in mind that a DIY move requires significant planning and time. A hybrid option is also available, where you hire movers just to lift and transport heavy items to your vehicle.
