The smallest dumpsters typically available can hold 2 cubic yards and measure 6 feet by 8 feet at 3 feet deep. These are ideal for small cleanup jobs, can hold around 400 pounds, and cost between $75 and $200 per week to rent. For even smaller jobs, there is also the option of renting a dumpster bag. A dumpster bag can come in a variety of sizes and often costs between $100 and $180 per week.

To calculate how many dumpsters you need for your disposal project, take a close look at the number of items you’ll be disposing of and estimate or measure the total in cubic yards. From there, you can have the dumpster rental company inform you of their dumpsters’ capacities to determine how many you need.

It depends on the amount of trash you need to unload. Generally, renting a dumpster is more cost-effective than taking trash to the dump yourself if you are dealing with a significant amount of waste. For a small carload worth of junk, it is far cheaper to bring it to the dump yourself.

Finding the right dumpster rental company for your needs requires interviewing companies to ask about rental timelines, costs, and weight limits. Here are some questions you can ask a dumpster rental company you’re considering:

• How long are your standard rental contracts? Can I extend it?

• What is the maximum weight your dumpsters can hold?

• Does the rental include dumping fees?

• Do I need a permit, and will you pull it for me?

• Will you protect my driveway from damage?
