When you move to a new area, check your new city's Department of Sanitation or local municipal website for more information.

You will also find instructions for purchasing the proper bins and bags for collection.

The price difference between a 10-yard and a 15-yard dumpster is anywhere from $15 to $200 per week. A 10-yard dumpster rental costs about $225 to $450 per week and a 15-yard dumpster costs about $240 to $650 per week.

Question 5

How do you get rid of junk cheap?

Accepted Answer

•

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.
