Get matched with top dumpster providers in Reedsville, WV

Finding the right dumpster rental company for your needs requires interviewing companies to ask about rental timelines, costs, and weight limits. Here are some questions you can ask a dumpster rental company you’re considering:

• How long are your standard rental contracts? Can I extend it?

• What is the maximum weight your dumpsters can hold?

• Does the rental include dumping fees?

• Do I need a permit, and will you pull it for me?

• Will you protect my driveway from damage?

The amount a 6-by-10-foot dump trailer can hold varies depending on the model. Generally, however, they can hold at least 4 cubic yards of waste with a load capacity of at least 4,000 lbs. This is around 1/4 to 1/2 the amount a standard junk removal truck can hold. It’s also considerably less than the most common dumpster size of 20 cubic yards.

That depends on how much junk you have. For individual items, hiring a junk removal company is often more cost-effective. However, if you’re doing a major cleanout or completing a large home improvement project, renting a dumpster may be more cost-effective. On average, dumpster rental costs $300 to $480 per week.

When deciding on renting a dumpster vs. hiring a junk hauler, the project and the items are the important deciding factors. A dumpster rental is best for projects like remodeling, including removing broken tile, drywall, fixtures, or other debris. That way, you can easily throw everything in one safe space to remove for later. 

If you're clearing out boxes or other items like furniture from your home, it's best to hire a professional junk hauling company. They can do the heavy lifting to clear out the unwanted items from your home, which are often heavy or bulky.
