Most furniture can be thrown in a dumpster, but some areas may have regulations prohibiting you from disposing of mattresses and upholstered furniture in a dumpster. The dumpster rental company will provide guidelines for what you can and can’t put in a dumpster, and you can also check local regulations to see what’s prohibited.

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.

Clear driveway space, ensure unobstructed pathways, and cover surfaces beneath. Noise and traffic considerations matter in residential areas.

Composting can be a great alternative if you’re looking for a way to dispose of food scraps without a garbage disposal. If you have the space in your yard, you can install a compost bin or compost pile and add food waste. After enough time and heat, the compost will break down and can be used to mulch your garden. 

If you don’t have space for compost, consider city-run programs or local companies that will pick up your food waste.
