Get matched with top dumpster providers in Ore City, TX

Although there’s a long list of items you can put in a rented dumpster, several items aren’t allowed. Most dumpster rental companies won’t allow paint cans, refrigerators, medical waste, household cleaners, hot water tanks, oil or fuel, and tires in their dumpsters. However, most let you dump furniture, wood, yard debris, small appliances, excess trash, and construction waste.

You can cut costs and expedite the process of junk removal by following a few essential steps. Use these methods to save on junk removal costs:

• Sorting items and debris into one area to reduce sorting costs. 

• Contacting local charities or donation centers for free or reduced-cost pickup of donations.

• For tree-related items like branches, advertise to community members looking for free firewood.

• Conduct one large clean-out instead of many smaller ones to reduce materials and labor costs.

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. A 10-yard dumpster is suitable for medium-sized cleanup or small renovation projects like kitchen cabinets or small bathrooms. The 15-yard dumpster can handle projects like small porch or patio demolition, small bathroom or kitchen remodels, or about 1,500 square feet of shingles removed for a roofing project.

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.
