Why Junk Removal

\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

In fact, there is research that supports the evidence of health benefits from decluttering a living or working space.

\r\n\r\n

Who to Hire for Junk Removal

\r\n\"Junk\r\n

When it comes to junk removal services, the most affordable companies are typically locally-owned.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Local junk removal companies don't have the same overhead costs as large chains, allowing them to charge their customers significantly less in most cases.

\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Getting multiple junk removal quotes from companies near you will give you a good idea of what is considered a competitive price in your area.

\r\n\r\n

It's important to make sure that you're only dealing with legitimate businesses, as uninsured and unlicensed people can undercut the price of a legitimate company while putting you and/or your property at risk. 

\r\n\r\n

Saving a few dollars is not worth the risk of hiring the average Joe online who isn't protected from unforeseen accidents, making you liable.

\r\n\r\n

Not being a registered business, not paying taxes, not having insurance, and not having proper licensing are all major red flags.

\r\n\r\n

So when it comes to getting the cheapest junk removal service, you have to find the right balance. 

\r\n\r\n

Getting multiple quotes is usually the quickest way to determine which company in your area offers the cheapest junk removal services.

\r\n\r\n

The easiest way to find locally-owned junk removal companies is by searching on Hometown.

\r\n\r\n

After entering your zip code and answering a few questions about your project type, you'll be shown a list of verified junk removal companies that service your area.

\r\n\r\n

You can read real customer reviews and easily request commitment-free estimates from as many providers as you'd like.

\r\n\r\n

We recommend getting a minimum of three different quotes so that you can make the best assessment.

When to Hire Junk Haulers

\r\n\"Large\r\n

The busy season for junk removal is typically in the spring when many of us are doing our annual spring cleaning and summer when we have better weather and more energy to tackle large home projects.

\r\n\r\n

Demand for junk removal services lowers significantly in the winter, sometimes as low as 50% in January and February, making it a great time to try to get the best price for junk removal services. 

\r\n\r\n

A lower demand for junk removal gives the customer more bargaining power when it comes to the final cost.

\r\n\r\n

If you can't wait until the winter, arranging services at least a week in advance is best.

\r\n\r\n

Ask the removal companies you speak with if they provide a discount if you're flexible on the pickup date and/or time.

\r\n\r\n

Allowing them to pick up your items when they're in your area for another job (rather than making a trip to your neighborhood just for your items) could make their scheduling more efficient and entice them to reward you with a discount.

National chain Waste Management (WM) offers 10, 20, 30, and 40 yard roll-off dumpsters for rent in most areas throughout the U.S.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

While WM is a great, affordable option for regularly scheduled residential trash pickup services, their dumpster rentals are oftentimes more expensive in comparison to locally-owned dumpster rental services. 
\r\n

\r\n
\r\n\r\n

The 20 yard roll-off container is the most commonly rented dumpster option that WM offers, so we'll compare WM's average price for this size to other service providers throughout the country.

Waste Management's Dumpster Costs vs Local Dumpster Rental Costs

\r\n\r\n

Nationwide, the average cost to rent a 20 yard dumpster from Waste Management is $450-$650.

\r\n\r\n

We compared rental prices for a 20 yard Waste Management dumpster to the average cost to rent a 20 yard dumpster from smaller, locally-owned haulers in 48 metro areas across the U.S.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Renting from a local hauler instead of Waste Management costs around $100-$200 less on average.

\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Local haulers offer much lower dumpster rental prices than Waste Management. In most markets, it's not even close.

\r\n\r\n

Local haulers charge $350-$550 on average for a 20 yard dumpster, while Waste Management charges $450-$650 on average for a container of the same size.

\r\n\r\n

Sometimes companies include a low amount of weight in their price, which can make a company look like the cheaper option at first, but you could end up paying extra in the end if you go over your dumpster weight limit.

\r\n\r\n

In our survey, the amount of weight included in the price was similar, with local haulers offering slightly more on average.

\r\n\r\n

Local haulers include 7,230 lbs on average in their price for a 20 yard container, and WM offers 6,850 lbs on average for the same size.

\r\n\r\n

Dumpster rental overage fees usually come into play if you exceed the included weight of the dumpster.

\r\n\r\n

Haulers typically price extra weight on a per-ton basis (per 2,000 lbs), though some will pro-rate additional weight.

\r\n\r\n

Again, extra charges for additional weight were similar between local haulers and WM, with a slightly lower average price for the locally-owned haulers.

\r\n\r\n

Local haulers charge $54 per additional ton on average, while WM charges $62 on average per additional ton.

\r\n\r\n

The cost results from each market surveyed can be found in the chart below.

Nationwide Market Survey

\r\n\r\n

Waste Management is the largest waste and recycling company in North America, with over 21 million customers throughout the United States and Canada.

\r\n\r\n

It’s a good company, and we have great respect for WM’s green initiatives and sustainability leadership.

\r\n\r\n

But if you're looking for a good price on a temporary dumpster, you generally won't find it at Waste Management.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

With their impressive truck fleet and mastery of logistics, WM’s scheduled curbside collection is highly efficient and often more affordable than local haulers, but WM’s size and scale actually work against it for renting dumpsters.

\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Roll-off dumpster rental is temporary, often not scheduled far in advance, and typically involves a phone call or text message for booking and another for pick-up, which are not WM's strengths.

Finding the Right Dumpster Rental Company

\r\n\r\n

Many people don't realize that there are three different types of companies that rent dumpsters, and understanding the distinction between them can save you money.

\r\n\r\n

3 Types of Dumpster Rental Providers

\r\n\r\n
    \r\n\t
  1. Independent, locally-owned dumpster services
    2. \r\n\t
  2. Large, national trash companies (Waste Management, Republic Services, etc.)
    3. \r\n\t
  3. Out-of-state brokers that book the dumpster and pass the order onto a local service provider
    4. \r\n
\r\n\r\n

We always recommend hiring from a local dumpster company because they generally provide better customer service and better prices.

\r\n\r\n

Your other two options—renting from a large national hauler or from a dumpster broker—are almost always more expensive for lower quality customer service.

\r\n\r\n

Along with better prices, local dumpster companies also tend to offer better customer service.

\r\n\r\n

Ensure you get the best price by getting several dumpster rental quotes from rental companies in your area.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Hometown is a convenient, easy-to-use search engine that allows you to instantly connect with vetted and insured dumpster companies in your local community.

\r\n\r\n

Contact as many companies as you'd like to compare free quotes—we recommend getting at least three estimates to make sure you get the best price for your dumpster rental when you need it as well as great customer service.

Two yard dumpsters are a great small-capacity option for small businesses, retail stores, and restaurants.

Generally, this is the smallest front-load dumpster commercial trash collection companies offer.

Coming in at only 6 feet long by 3 feet wide by 3 feet high, two yard dumpsters are ideal for small brick-and-mortar businesses, like gas stations and restaurants, that see less than 100 customers per day.

\r\n\r\n

There are some exceptions to this rule, like retail stores with heavy cardboard disposal requirements, but this is a good starting point for choosing a commercial dumpster to suit your business.

Two yard dumpsters are generally the smallest and least expensive option offered by waste hauling companies, but there are several factors that affect the cost of commercial trash collection.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Expect to pay $90 to $125 per month for two yard dumpster service

\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Pricing generally includes weekly emptying of the container.

\r\n\r\n

Factors that can play a role in determining the price of commercial trash collection:

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

Location

\r\n\r\n

The further the trash collection company has to drive to get to the business, the more it will cost for service.

\r\n\r\n

The time and fuel costs associated with this service are major factors.

\r\n\r\n

Choose a commercial waste company that is located close to your business to keep costs low.

\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

Pick-up Schedule

\r\n\r\n

Most commercial haulers offer weekly pick-up at the base rate.

\r\n\r\n

For more frequent pick-ups, the cost goes up from there.

\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

Weight and Amount of Debris

\r\n\r\n

Commercial dumpsters generally have a weight limit.

\r\n\r\n

Exceeding this weight limit can lead to additional fees.

When renting a dumpster, it's important to be aware of potential overage fees.

\r\n\r\n

In this guide, we'll discuss what dumpster overage fees are, how much they typically cost, and how to avoid them.

What Are Overage Fees?

\r\n\r\n

Overage fees are the costs incurred during a temporary dumpster rental for not following the rules of the dumpster agreement.

\r\n\r\n

These additional fees can easily be avoided if the proper care is taken.

\r\n\r\n

When renting a temporary dumpster, a specific amount of weight is included in your price.

\r\n\r\n

For example, a 10 yard dumpster weight allowance is 2 tons (4,000 lbs) on average, although dumpster weight allowances often vary from company to company.

\r\n\r\n

This means that, in this situation, if you fill your 10 yarder with more than 2 tons of material—which would be easily done with heavy debris, like concrete, brick, roofing shingles, or soil—you'll have to pay an overage fee.

\r\n\r\n

Dumpster weight overage charges can only be assessed after your debris is weighed at the landfill, so if you're not paying attention to the weight and materials going into your dumpster, you may be surprised when you have to pay more for your rental than your initial quote.

\r\n\r\n

If your debris weighs more than the amount of weight included in your dumpster rental agreement, you will receive an additional charge for the extra weight.

How Much Do Dumpster Overage Fees Cost?

\r\n\r\n

Overage fees vary by company but typically range from $75-$100+ per ton.

\r\n\r\n

Oftentimes, this overage charge is applied whether you go a full ton over or not, while others will prorate their overage fees.

\r\n\r\n

For example, let's say you rent a company's 20 yard dumpster with a weight allowance of 7,000 lbs (3.5 tons) for $400 and a $100 per ton non-prorated overage fee.

\r\n\r\n

You rent the dumpster, fill it up with your debris and junk, and call the company to pick it up and take it away.

\r\n\r\n

Later, you see that you are being charged $500 because your debris ended up weighing in at 4 tons at the landfill (1/2 a ton over your weight allowance).

\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n

How Do I Avoid Overage Fees?

\r\n\"woman\r\n

Understanding and following your dumpster rental agreement is how you can avoid dumpster overage charges.

\r\n\r\n

This typically starts by having a good understanding of your project and debris removal needs when reaching out to companies, allowing you to choose the right dumpster size with an adequate weight allowance.

\r\n\r\n
\r\n

If you abide by your dumpster rental rules and conditions, your final bill should reflect your initial quote.
