The most cost-effective way to haul junk is to load it into a truck and take it to your local waste disposal facility yourself. If you don’t have the proper vehicle, consider renting a dumpster and filling it yourself; the dumpster rental company will remove it once it is full. Junk removal services are typically the most expensive way to haul away junk, but also the most time-efficient method that requires the least manual labor from you.

The average cost to rent a dumpster is around $400, but you could pay as low as $200 or up to $800 or more, depending on a few factors. The size of the dumpster is one of the biggest factors, with $400 covering a standard 20-yard dumpster, lower prices covering smaller ones, and higher prices covering up to a 40-yard dumpster. You might pay higher prices if you need access to the dumpster for longer than the standard week, as might be the case if you’re doing demolition or a large home renovation project.

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.
