Q: Should I buy or rent a roll-off dumpster?

• <div><p>Since roll-off dumpsters are usually for one-time jobs, you&rsquo;ll probably want to rent one. However, you can always purchase a dumpster in the future if you believe you&rsquo;ll use it frequently and have the space to store it.</p></div>

• <div><p>There are several types of small dumpsters that you can rent, and they all vary slightly in size.

Finally, bag dumpsters are the smallest option you have at 2 to 5 yards, but they&rsquo;re also the most inconvenient because you have to personally carry them on and off your truck.</p></div>
