When replacing a shingle roof, approximating the weight of the roof debris produced during the tear-off process is an essential part of minimizing the cost of disposal.
\r\n\r\n\r\nUnderstanding the weight of your shingles makes it easier to select a dumpster service offering the right weight allowance and helps you avoid or minimize expensive overweight charges (up to $100 per ton in some areas).
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStep one to saving money on roofing disposal is to estimate how much the shingles weigh that you're tearing off the roof. Then compare dumpster rates among multiple companies with a sharp eye on the amount of weight included in the price.
\r\n
Roofing shingles load into the dumpster very densely compared to other wastes, such as household junk or trash.
\r\n\r\nSo packing a 10 yard or 20 yard dumpster to the rim can make it very heavy and sometimes lead to an expensive overweight charge when your container is weighed at the landfill or shingle recycling center.
\r\n\r\nUse the information below to help determine how much your roofing debris will weigh and how best to avoid incurring any overage fees.
\r\n\r\n
One way to get a rough estimate of the total weight of your old shingles is to figure out the total weight of the new shingles you're installing.
\r\n\r\nMultiply the weight of a bundle of shingles by the total number of bundles ordered for your job to get a rough estimate.
\r\n\r\nWeight of 1 Bundle x Total Number of Bundles x Number of Shingle Layers
\r\n\r\n= Estimated Total Weight of Shingles
\r\n\r\nThis estimate will likely be a bit high because your old shingles have likely lost some of their granules, making each shingle slightly lighter.
\r\n\r\nThe vast majority of roof shingle bundles weigh between 50 and 80 lbs.
\r\n\r\nHowever, type, style, and quality of shingle has a big impact on weight.
\r\n\r\nFor example, architectural style shingles generally weigh 65 to 80 lbs per bundle, while 3 tab shingles weigh 50 to 65 lbs per bundle.
\r\n\r\nLikewise, shingles with a 30-year warranty will likely weigh more than shingles with a 20-year warranty.
\r\n\r\n![\"average](\"/static/3d8d916fe08e49cf3738c0c5f1e562b0/average-shingle-weight.jpg\")
If you know the 'number of square' of your roof, you can estimate weight that way as well.
\r\n\r\nA square—equivalent to 100 square feet—is a standard unit of measurement in the roofing industry.
\r\n\r\nTypically, three bundles of shingles will cover one square—33 sq. ft. per bundle. For the thickest of shingles, it may take four bundles per square—25 sq. ft. per bundle.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOn average, one square of shingles typically weighs 150 to 240 lbs. The thickest and most dense roofing shingles may weigh 320 to 400 lbs per square.
\r\n
As previously mentioned, the weight of shingles does vary by type and by manufacturer. Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than basic 3-tab shingles.
\r\n\r\nIf removing and disposing of architectural shingles, estimate the total weight of the debris using figures on the higher end of the scale (e.g., 80 lbs. per bundle).
\r\n\r\nIt’s always better to overestimate the weight of roofing debris as opposed to underestimating.
\r\n\r\n![\"1](\"/static/073c2de52e17bb02e805f9e8d6534cb6/1-square-of-roof-area.jpg\")
Determine roof size by measuring the length and width of each face and then add them together to reach a total square footage of the roof.
\r\n\r\nThis is relatively easy for simple roof designs, such as basic hip, gable, or flat roofs.
\r\n\r\nComplicated roofs will be tougher to measure, but taking the time to measure it accurately can save you money in the long run on disposal costs and on the purchase of new product.

\r\n\r\nOnce the square footage of the roof is determined, you can estimate the amount of roofing debris that will be generated during the tear-off.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, you can estimate the total weight of the debris.
\r\n\r\nFinally, you can then choose the right dumpster to accommodate the cleanup.
\r\n\r\nExample: A roof that measures 2,000 sq. ft. translates into 20 square. The type of shingle is a traditional 3-tab asphalt shingle. The weight of one square of 3-tab shingles typically ranges from 150 to 195 lbs. We’ll use the higher number to ensure the weight allowance of the dumpster doesn’t become a factor. Take 195 lbs. multiplied by 20 square, and the result is 3,900 lbs., or nearly 2 tons. In this example, the roof tear-off would result in about 2 tons of shingle debris, and that’s the figure to use when determining the ideal dumpster size for the cleanup.
\r\n\r\n![\"Weight](\"/static/d36b534e37f250146c728cc677c9c19a/Removing-multiple-layers-of-shingles.jpg\")
It’s not uncommon for a house to have two or more layers of shingles.
\r\n\r\nDo not forget to factor this into your equation when calculating the estimated weight of the roofing debris.
\r\n\r\nIf there are two layers, multiply the debris weight by two; three layers, multiply it by three; and so on.
\r\n\r\nIf tearing off dimensional shingles, odds are there are no layers of shingles underneath.
\r\n\r\nMultiple layers will generally only apply when removing 3-tab shingles, although it’s a good idea to check by removing a small section of shingles before ordering your dumpster.

Once you’ve determined the approximate amount of roofing debris you’re working with, it’s time to choose a roll-off container to dispose of it.
\r\n\r\nIf you give this information to the dumpster company over the phone, they will be able to recommend the ideal container size based on the type and amount of debris.
\r\n\r\nIn most cases, a 10 or 20 yard dumpster will do the job.
\r\n\r\nSome dumpster rental companies won’t allow roofing shingle debris in 30 or 40 yard bins due to weight.
\r\n\r\nThe weight of the shingles and the container itself can push the limits of the roll-off truck 's ability to lift the load.
\r\n\r\nA larger dumpster generally costs more than a smaller dumpster.
\r\n\r\nBut with roofing shingle debris, it’s just as important to know the amount of weight that is included in the price of your rental.
\r\n\r\nConsider the following quotes for a 10 yard dumpster:
\r\n\r\nCompany A may seem like the better deal.
\r\n\r\nBut if you're tearing off 4 tons of shingles, Company A's total cost becomes $450.
\r\n\r\nYou'll save $75 by renting from Company B.
\r\n\r\n![\"Roofing](\"/static/0524af97af29fd258c59fd307691d7ce/Roof-shingle-bundles-weight.jpg\")
When disposing of shingles, there are usually other wastes that go along with it, including felt/waterproofing and nails.
\r\n\r\nThe weight of these items are negligible and probably won’t make a big impact on the weight of the debris load.
\r\n\r\nHowever, if plywood decking is damaged and needs to be disposed of, that could add a measurable amount of weight and volume inside the dumpster.
\r\n\r\nThis is especially true if all, or a major portion, of the roof decking is being disposed of.
\r\n\r\nGutters and flashing also add a bit of weight to the load, so don’t forget to plan ahead if disposing of this material.
\r\n\r\nDumpster rental companies may require 'clean loading' the roofing shingles, which refers to loading only shingles—no other wastes—in the dumpster.
\r\n\r\nThis is typically the case if the shingles are to be recycled.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend contacting three or more companies and comparing their reputations, availability, prices, and weight allowances before booking your dumpster.
\r\n\r\nMake sure you know what is included in each quote so you can compare each one accurately.

\r\nIt can be tricky to estimate the right dumpster size for your roof removal project without a rough idea of how much the debris will weigh.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to the cost of roofing shingles disposal, weight is of particular importance.
\r\n
Shingle debris is heavy, and if you don't plan properly, disposal costs can be quite significant.
\r\n\r\nOne square of shingles (100 sq ft; 10 ft x 10 ft) typically weighs 250-400 lbs depending on the type of shingle (3-tab vs architectural shingle).
\r\n\r\nThe average home's roof size is 1,500-2,000 sq ft, or 15-20 square.
\r\n\r\nThat means that the average roof weighs 3,750-8,000 lbs, or roughly 2-4 tons.
\r\n\r\nWhen calculating your roof's weight, we also recommend factoring in an extra 50-100 lbs per square to cover the weight of any damaged plywood, felt, or other debris removed during a roof tear-off.
\r\n\r\nIt’s common for a 10 yard dumpster to come standard with a 4,000-6,000 lb weight allowance (2-3 tons).
\r\n\r\nWhile this may be enough to accommodate a 1,500-2,000 sq ft roof in some cases, in others, it may not.
\r\n\r\nLuckily, dumpster rental companies are experts at estimating the weight of your debris and recommending the right dumpster size for your project.
\r\n\r\nReach out to multiple dumpster providers for quotes to get their opinion on which dumpster size you would need, how much it costs, and how much weight is included in the price.
\r\n\r\nExample:
\r\n
\r\nA customer has a 1,500 sq ft (15 square) roof with two layers of 3-tab shingles that need to be removed.
\r\n
\r\n15 square x 250 lbs x 2 layers + 750 lbs = 8,250 lbs
\r\n
\r\nIn this example, the weight of their roof comes out to 8,250 lbs or a little over 4 tons.
\r\n
\r\nThis customer should rent a dumpster with at least a 5-ton weight allowance, but preferably a larger 6-ton limit to allow the extra cushion and avoid overage fees.

\r\n\r\nAs previously mentioned, the weight of debris is a major consideration when choosing the right dumpster size for a roof tear-off.
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster is physically big enough to accommodate a large roof tear-off, but it rarely can accommodate the weight.
\r\n\r\nAs with other heavy debris, like dirt or concrete, proper planning is the best way to avoid overpaying for the dumpster.
\r\n\r\nOverage costs can be as high as $120 per ton in some areas ($50-$80 per ton is typical), and that can add up quickly with heavy debris.
\r\n\r\nEstimate the weight of the debris first, then choose the dumpster size.
\r\n\r\nCommon dumpster sizes for roofing debris include 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, and 30 yard dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nThe chart below is quick reference when determining the right dumpster size for your roofing project.

For large roof tear-offs, multiple roll-off containers are likely necessary.
\r\n\r\nThe trucks used by dumpster rental companies can only lift and haul a certain amount of weight based on the capacity of the equipment and by local hauling laws.
\r\n\r\nSo if your roofing project is large, it's reasonable to expect the need for two dumpster trips.

\r\n\r\n\r\nThere's more than one type of asphalt shingle, and understanding the difference between the two is important.
\r\n![\"different](\"/static/5af954f098c5c7de5f25c3cbfbbeb38c/types-of-asphalt-shingles.jpg\")
\r\n3-Tab Shingles
\r\n\r\nThese shingles are the most traditional style, and is the type you’d find on the average home.
\r\n\r\nIt’s a very budget-friendly option while being relatively lightweight shingle.
\r\n\r\nBecause of this, it's easier to stay within the dumpster rental company’s weight limit than it is with architectural shingles.
\r\n\r\nArchitectural Shingles
\r\n\r\nThis is a more modern type of roofing shingle that provides a more dimensional look.
\r\n\r\nIf this is the type of shingle you’re disposing of, be aware that these shingles are heavier than basic 3-tab shingles.
\r\n\r\nBe careful not to underestimate the weight of these shingles, as overage costs can rack up pretty quickly.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Roofing shingles are generally sold in bundles.
\r\n\r\nEach bundle typically contains 21 pieces, and three bundles equals one square.
\r\n\r\nIn the roofing industry, “square” is the standard unit of measurement and is equal to 100 square feet.
\r\n\r\nEach bundle weighs 60-100 lbs depending on the type and overall quality of the shingle.
\r\n\r\n3-tab shingles tend to weigh less than architectural shingles because they are thinner and less layered.
\r\n\r\nKnowing that each 3-tab shingle bundle weighs roughly 60-80 lbs, you can estimate that a 2,000 sq ft (20 square, 60 bundles) roof would weigh 3,600-4,800 lbs.
\r\n\r\nSimilarly, knowing that each architectural shingle bundle weighs roughly 70-100 lbs, you can estimate that a 2,000 sq ft (20 square, 60 bundles) roof would weigh 4,200-6,000 lbs.
\r\n\r\nReminder: Many roofs have multiple layers of shingles, so you will need to factor that in when determining your roof's weight and choosing the right dumpster size.
\r\nWhen it comes to choosing the right dumpster for your roofing project, you need to take more than just dumpster size into consideration; you also need to consider that dumpster's weight limit.
\r\n\r\nFor example, a 10 yard dumpster may have enough physical space to hold 20 square of architectural shingles, but it may not have a high enough weight limit to accommodate 20 square.
\r\n\r\nIn the tables below, you can see the average weight limits for the most popular dumpster sizes, and the amount of roofing shingles those dumpsters and weight limits can typically accommodate, so you can make the right choice for your project.
\r\n\r\n| Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Weight Limit | \r\n\t\t\t# of 3-Tab Shingle Square | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Size of Roof Removal | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | \r\n\t\t\t4,000-6,000 lbs | \r\n\t\t\t20-30 | \r\n\t\t\t2,000-3,000 sq ft | \r\n\t\t

| 10 yard | \r\n\t\t\t4,000-6,000 lbs | \r\n\t\t\t15-25 | \r\n\t\t\t1,500-2,500 sq ft | \r\n\t\t
| 20 yard | \r\n\t\t\t5,000-7,000 lbs | \r\n\t\t\t20-25 | \r\n\t\t\t2,000-2,500 sq ft | \r\n\t\t

\r\n\r\n
As you can see, weight limits vary from one dumpster size to the next, but they can also vary between contractors.
\r\n\r\nFor example, Contractor A may include 4,000 lbs in the cost of their 10 yard dumpster rental, while Contractor B includes 6,000 lbs for only $50 more.
\r\n\r\nPaying only slightly more for double the weight limit could end up saving you money in the longrun, as going over your weight limit can quicky rack up fees.
\r\n\r\nTo avoid potential overage charges and to ensure you get the right dumpster for the right price, always discuss your roof's square footage and the type of shingles you'll be disposing of with the rental providers you speak to.
\r\n\r\nThey'll be able to help you choose the right dumpster size with the right weight limit for your specific roof removal project.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend reaching out to atleast three different dumpster rental providers whenever possible so you can compare quotes and ensure you get the best service for the best price.
\r\nDid you know that, in most cities, it costs more to dispose of asphalt shingles at a local landfill than it does to recycle those shingles at a local recycling facility?
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAsphalt shingles are becoming a valuable commodity in the recycling industry. Scrap roofing shingles are melted down and used in asphalt road mixes, new shingle production, and more.
\r\n
For example, in Chicago, it's free to recycle clean-loaded asphalt at a Clean Construction and Demolition Debris (CCDD) facility, like Gallagher Materials.
\r\n\r\nSimilarly, the Scholl Canyon Landfill in Glendale, CA accepts general municipal waste at about $54 per ton, but it charges just $30 per ton of clean asphalt shingles (as of 2021).
\r\n\r\nMaking the effort to clean-load your asphalt shingles in your dumpster can save you quite a bit of money, so always ask the dumpster rental providers you reach out to about recycling your scrap roofing shingles.

\r\n\r\nBut sometimes you need a dumpster placed in a small or steep driveway, in a narrow alley, or a parking space.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRenting a trailer dumpster might be the best choice for your particular disposal project.
\r\n
If you're curious about trailer dumpsters and what they offer in comparison to standard roll-off dumpsters, you've come to the right place.
\r\n\r\n![\"The](\"/static/b0bbfd07e03b9ceda2a18e12bcabee3c/trailer-dumpster-info_1.png\")
\r\nOne of the best features of a trailer dumpster is that it's surface-friendly.
\r\n\r\nDumpster damage to your driveway is unsightly and an inconvenience that can be avoided altogether with a trailer dumpster.
\r\n\r\nWhile a professional dumpster company should know how to avoid causing damage to your property, some accidents do occasionally occur.
\r\n\r\nDue to the nature of roll-off containers, they are more likely to accidentally crack or chip your cement or asphalt driveway than a trailer dumpster during drop-off and pick-up.
\r\n\r\nRoll-off containers are very heavy, have a flat bottom, and are gently rolled off a dumpster truck during delivery, hence the name \"roll-off dumpster.\"
\r\n\r\nA dumpster trailer, however, is attached to wheels and is transported via hitch, making delivery as easy as backing it into your driveway.
\r\n\r\nAll the weight remains on wheels, so you don't have to worry about the delivery person accidentally dropping a heavy container on your property.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nBecause of the aforementioned rubber wheels, trailer dumpsters are much easier to maneuver than a roll-off container.
\r\n\r\nIf you decide to reposition or move your dumpster after it's already been placed, doing so with a trailer dumpster is quick and easy. You simply reattach the trailer dumpster's hitch to the delivery truck and move as desired.
\r\n\r\nTo reposition a roll-off container, however, the entire dumpster must be properly hoisted back onto the dumpster truck before being delicately unloaded all over again in your desired position or location.
\r\n\r\nIf you have a large property with multiple projects scattered across it, having a trailer dumpster might be the best option for you to move your container to each project location as needed.
\r\n\r\nOr, if you have multiple projects at multiple different locations, being able to keep a trailer dumpster attached to your vehicle so you can easily drive your disposal container from one location to the next is a great way to streamline a number of different cleanup projects.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"trailer](\"/static/3eb0394d5c732d69065c134cdc522200/trailer-dumpster.png\")
\r\nRoll-off dumpsters are great disposal containers for any project, don't get us wrong, but if your project requires a dumpster to be in and out within a matter of hours or a day, trailer dumpsters may make the most sense.
\r\n\r\nWhile it is certainly possible, it's not common for a roll-off container to be dropped off and picked up on the same day.
\r\n\r\nRoll-off dumpsters have to be delivered with a special truck designed just for the delivery and pickup of dumpsters while a trailer dumpster can be delivered and picked back up by basically any vehicle with a hitch to haul a trailer.
\r\n\r\nAlso, as previously mentioned, if you have multiple projects to get to in a short amount of time, trailer dumpsters allow a faster and easier option to move your container from location to location.
\r\n\r\nThis flexibility allows trailer dumpsters to be picked up and dropped off more easily and more often.
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\nWhile trailer dumpsters are often the same price as roll-off containers, the flexibility they offer can end up making your project go by more quickly.
\r\n\r\nThey say time is money, so if a trailer dumpster can save you time on your project, you can bet that it will save you money on your project, too.
\r\n\r\nHaving to wait days for a roll-off dumpster to be emptied and returned for the continuation of your project can cause delays that cost you and your crew precious time and valuable money.
\r\n\r\nOne of the best ways to get the best price is to rent a dumpster from a locally-owned company that is reputable, licensed, and insured.
\r\n\r\nLocally-owned dumpsters are almost always less expensive than rentals from large, national chains.
\r\n\r\nIt's very important to make sure that the company you rent from is licensed and insured.
\r\n\r\nAn illegitimate company may offer you a cheaper rental price, but the risks involved are not worth the small savings.

\r\n\r\nYou can find services near you, read verified reviews, and request free quotes from as many providers as you would like.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n10 yard roll-off dumpsters are versatile, compact, and designed to fit nicely in a standard driveway.
\r\n
Some bins are constructed with shorter sides for easier side-loading of heavy debris, such as concrete or dirt.
\r\n\r\n10 yard roll-off containers are considered small dumpsters and hold 10 cubic yards of debris, but their size and shape varies.
\r\n\r\nIn this article, we'll discuss...
\r\n\r\nAn easy way to estimate how much space 10 cubic yards actually consumes is to visualize the size of a standard stove.
\r\n\r\nOne 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft stove takes up 1 cubic yard of space.

\r\n10 yarders are generally used for two types of cleanups: heavy debris (e.g., concrete, dirt, roofing shingles, etc.), and small cleanouts of non-bulky wastes (e.g., attic cleanout).
\r\n\r\nThe best way to ensure a 10 yard container will accommodate your cleanup is to call a local dumpster rental company and discuss the project with them.
\r\n\r\nWhile a 10 yard dumpster is usually the most affordable option, the project can get expensive when you find that a 10 yarder wasn’t big enough to finish the job.

\r\n\r\nWhen you're on the fence about which size to choose, the bigger container is usually the safer choice. Renting a dumpster that is too small can mean having to rent an additional dumpster, instantly doubling your disposal costs.
\r\nIt may also be worth considering hiring a junk removal company for your cleanup.
\r\n\r\nIn some instances, junk removal may be the more affordable solution, particularly for small cleanups.
\r\n\r\nJunk removal is great for the disposal of furniture sets, small debris piles, or situations where you can’t do the loading yourself.

We've gathered all the information to take into consideration when choosing professional services to assist with a hoarding cleanup.

\r\nThe most important thing to keep in mind when cleaning up a hoarder's home (whether it's your home or not) is that there can be a number of different safety hazards lurking in the shadows of a hoarding mess.
\r\n\r\nCommon hazards present in a hoarder's home:
\r\n\r\nBeginning a hoarding cleanup project without first taking the necessary safety precautions could result in temporary or long-term health concerns, like infections or respiratory issues.
\r\n\r\nProfessional hoarding cleanup companies outfit themselves in PPE (personal protective equipment) to prevent unnecessary physical harm and are insured for instances when accidents occur.
\r\n\r\nWhile not recommended, if you insist on performing a hoarding remediation on your own, getting your own PPE is absolutely necessary.
\r\n\r\nThe most common types of PPE used for hoarding messes include:

\r\nHoarding is a type of anxiety disorder that causes severe stress to those suffering.
\r\n\r\nSufferers of hoarding have an extremely difficult time getting rid of collected items and have difficulty differentiating essential items from unnecessary junk.
\r\n\r\nGetting a hoarder to agree to get help can be a very hard feat, so when a cleanup takes place with the hoarder present, being time-efficient is crucial.
\r\n\r\nIf items are moved out slowly over time, a hoarder has more time to contemplate each item and change their mind if they're experiencing emotional distress.
\r\n\r\nThe best case scenario for a hoarding cleanup is to have the tools and manpower to complete the task within a day.
\r\n\r\nIf a hoarding cleanup takes place over several days, the emotional disruption caused after night one may make the homeowner change their mind and shut the entire operation down.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGetting as much done as possible in a short amount of time helps everyone involved and hoarding cleanup specialists are very attuned to this.
\r\n
In circumstances where the cleanup must take place over the course of several days, it's critical to have professionals that are patient and sensitive to the special needs that some hoarders require.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe fact that there are an estimated 3 million Americans suffering from a hoarding disorder surprises many people, but most people with hoarding problems go to great lengths to prevent their friends, family, neighbors, and the public from discovering their condition.
\r\n\r\nFeelings of guilt, shame, and embarrassment are common for those living in a hoarding home, so being discrete and respectful is not only important to the hoarder, but it should be a strategy of a qualified hoarding cleanup service.
\r\n\r\nHaving professionals that are trained to delicately handle these types of large clean outs is critical in minimizing the amount of emotional distress that is caused.
\r\n\r\nHoarding cleanup pros are great at being discrete to minimize any attention drawn to the hoarder's residence during their cleanup and can remove large quantities of unwanted items in a way that looks like an average home clean out.
\r\n\r\nFinding local hoarding cleanup experts is simple by searching on Hometown.
\r\n\r\nWe publish licensed, insured, locally-owned and operated junk removal companies across the country.
\r\n\r\nBy searching your zip code, you'll be able to read verified reviews and request quotes from as many companies in your area as you'd like.

\r\nWhen it comes to hiring a junk removal company for a home or business cleanup project, we always recommend getting at least three estimates before hiring.
\r\n\r\nThe goal is to find a waste removal provider who can complete your project properly for a fair price.
\r\n\r\nWe understand it can be challenging to get one quote from companies at times, let alone three, but spending just a little more time to find the right junk removal company is worth it when it means avoiding expensive, time-consuming, or stressful hiccups down the road.
\r\n\r\nRegardless of your junk removal project size, understanding what goes into quality junk removal services can help ensure you hire the best junk removal provider for your project.
\r\n\r\nDon’t make a quick decision based on just one or two quotes; it could end up costing you time and money.
\r\n\r\nEven if the first waste hauler you talk to seems competent and professional, you won’t know if they’re charging a competitive price until you speak to a few others.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMost people who have a bad experience hiring a company—whether it be they were overcharged or the company didn’t do a good job—it’s almost always because they did not get multiple estimates before starting their project.
\r\n
It pays to get a second and third opinion, and doing so can save you hundreds of dollars in some cases.
\r\n\r\nMultiple estimates will give you a good idea of the average price range for junk removal services in your area. (Be wary of quotes that are super high or super low.)
\r\n\r\nThen, using price as one of your considering factors, you can choose the right junk hauler for you based on other factors:
\r\n\r\nManage your financial risk by taking the time to get multiple estimates from junk removal service providers before hiring one. It can end up saving you a lot of money and stress.

We'll go over the options for getting rid of yard waste for free, as well as convenient alternative services that will remove yard waste for a reasonable rate.

\r\nComposting is a great way to live a greener lifestyle and doesn't take too much work when you consider the long list of benefits it offers, like:
\r\n\r\nThe main \"ingredients\" of a compost pile include water, oxygen, green material, and brown material.
\r\n\r\nGreen materials include grass clippings, weeds, plant trimmings, flowers, food scraps, and more.
\r\n\r\nBrown materials include wood shavings, twigs, dead plants or leaves, coffee filters, cardboard, etc.
\r\n\r\nA compost mixture should have significantly more brown waste than green waste, with the ideal rate being 2-3 parts brown material to 1 part green material.
\r\n\r\nSo when adding green yard waste to your compost pile, be sure to have plenty of brown material to add in with it.
\r\n\r\nRead more about composting:
\r\n\r\n\"Open burning\" is the burning of unwanted yard material, like wood, brush, grass, leaves, dead plants, and other green and brown material.
\r\n\r\nOpen burning your yard waste is not a recommended method for most people and is illegal in many areas due to air pollution and the risk of forest fires, but under the right circumstances, it can be an easy and free solution.
\r\n\r\nMost areas that allow open burning for yard waste require that a permit be issued by local governing bodies, fire departments, or the DNR.
\r\n\r\nThe safest way to burn your yard waste is to do so during a windless day, and the colder the temperature is, the less risk typically involved.
\r\n\r\nCities and towns with large populations usually do not allow yard waste to be burned on your property, but if you live in a rural area with a lot of acreage, an approved burning bin with continuous monitoring of the burn pile can be a reasonable method to get rid of yard waste.
\r\n\r\nIt is imperative to do thorough research in your area regarding waste burning laws prior to attempting to do so. Failing to follow the law could result in fines, jail time, forest devastation, property damage, and serious bodily harm.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith more and more landfills across the country banning yard waste in landfills, many municipal weekly garbage collections are halting their yard waste pickup programs.
\r\n\r\nThat's why it's important to check with your specific garbage pickup provider to see if yard waste collection is a service they offer.
\r\n\r\nIf they do offer yard waste collection, there are several rules to follow, like:
\r\n\r\nSome collection services require special \"tags\" to be placed on your yard waste bags that must be purchased ahead of time, while other services may allow you to pay for the collection service after it's been completed.
\r\n\r\nGetting the details from your specific waste collection service is important to avoid extra fines or fees, as well as ensuring that your bags of yard waste aren't left sitting at the end of your driveway.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe best part about renting a dumpster for yard waste is that you can \"clean load\" your dumpster for a potentially lower price.
\r\n
Clean loading a dumpster is when you only load one specific type of debris into the dumpster, which in this case is yard waste.
\r\n\r\nNot mixing in any other type of trash allows the yard waste to be taken to a facility that will recycle it into compost which can then be used for soil.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend renting a dumpster from a locally-owned company, as waste management dumpsters can cost quite a bit more in comparison to smaller operations.
\r\n\r\nHometown makes finding local dumpster companies fast and easy, and we only publish licensed and insured dumpster companies for your safety and peace of mind.
\r\n\r\nYou can request multiple dumpster quotes from local providers so you can compare pricing, customer service, and container availability - all free of charge!
