\r\nSo, you just requested a quote—ideally multiple quotes—from a junk removal service provider with Hometown.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAt Hometown, our quote request form makes the process of getting free estimates from local junk removal companies easy.
\r\n
Now that your request is submitted, you should receive a text confirming that your quote request was received and letting you know that a service provider will contact you if they decide to accept your request and agree to provide a quote.
\r\n![\"dumpster](\"/static/85e42e415aa6180287edff2a54aa3404/dumpster-rental-quote-confirmation-text.jpg\")
\r\nAfter you receive this confirmation text message, you can expect to be contacted by junk removal companies as soon as a matter of minutes or within one business day.
\r\n\r\nWe send your quote request to the service provider you requested (and/or other local service providers providing junk removal services in your area) by text message and email.
\r\n\r\nThe service provider(s) you requested a quote from will then follow up with you directly to provide a quote if possible or to arrange an appointment to come to your home or business to assess the project in person and provide a quote.
\r\n\r\nTypically, the company needs to come on-site to provide a quote because they need to see what junk needs to be removed, approximately how much space it will take up in their truck (this is how most companies price their junk removal services), any access issues they'll need to figure out, etc.
\r\n\r\nAt Hometown, we don't think customers should have to spend their valuable time looking for local junk removal providers, requesting quotes, and chasing down pros. Instead, we do the legwork for you.
\r\n\r\nIf a service provider you reach out to doesn't wish to quote the junk removal or they don't quickly confirm their desire to quote the job, we automatically send your quote request to another local junk removal company on your behalf.
\r\n\r\nWe repeat this process until you receive the number of quotes you requested, whether it's one, two, or three quotes.
\r\n\r\nIn most cases, we're able to get your requested number of quote requests from local companies willing to quote the junk removal in a matter of hours.
\r\n\r\nNote: Many local businesses are owner-operated, which means they may be working on another junk removal job when they receive your quote request, and may be unable to immediately respond.
\r\n\r\nHowever, they typically respond within a matter of hours and almost always provide the best customer service and the best deals for their services.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe always recommend getting three quotes in order to increase your chances of hiring the best company in your area, paying the best price, and getting the junk removal services you need when it's most convenient for you.
\r\n
When you receive a quote from a service provider, you are in no way obligated to hire them.
\r\n\r\nTake as much time as you need to compare each quote accurately, as not all companies prepare their quotes the same way.
\r\n\r\nBecause of this, it’s important to be sure you know what information to look for so you can make an informed hiring decision.
\r\n\r\nFor starters, qualified junk removal companies are always transparent about what is included in their junk removal costs, like what is included in the total cost, the items they will remove, whether or not they can recycle or donate any of the items (which in turn saves you money), etc.
\r\n\r\nSo the service provider's estimate, at the bare minimum, should outline the cost of the junk removal, the items/work included in this junk removal cost, and any additional rules and charges that may be applied if these rules are not followed or the project changes in any way.
\r\n\r\nWith that being said, comparing junk removal quotes should involve the comparison of more than just price.
\r\n\r\nOther factors to consider when hiring a junk removal company, other than price, include:
\r\n\r\n![\"garbage](\"/static/2b99bcb36ef7c1618773173214f1142d/junk-at-curb.jpg\")
\r\nGetting multiple estimates from junk removal providers before hiring helps to manage any risks associated with hiring any type of company, and it can end up saving you a lot of money and stress.
\r\n\r\nIf you're unsure about any aspect of a junk removal estimate, ask the company to clarify it before signing anything.
\r\n\r\nIf that company is unwilling to provide a thorough estimate or answer your project questions, we consider this a red flag and recommend finding another, more qualified junk removal provider.
\r\n\r\nOnce you have full understanding of the junk removal quotes you received, you can determine who to hire and schedule your junk removal. (Oftentimes, the junk removal is handled the same day the in-person junk removal quote is provided, unless otherwise requested by the customer.)
\r\n
\r\nThen, your junk removal will proceed as discussed with your service provider. Once completed, you'll be given the final invoice, which you can pay in person or over the phone in most cases.

Recognized as a mental health condition, hoarding is a rather common disorder, affecting as many as 1 in 20 people. When it's time to face a hoarding situation and come up with disposal solutions, this guide can help.
\r\n\r\nThere are so many benefits to cleaning up a cluttered house, and it goes beyond that of the house itself. Cleaning your house promotes a calmer, more peaceful state of mind.
\r\n\r\nCleaning out your home also...
\r\n\r\nThere’s a definite line between being a collector and a hoarder. While both situations involve the accumulation of “things,” collectors generally have a sense of pride in whatever it is they collect, and will keep things organized if not on display. Collectors tend to stick to a budget when adding to their collection and are well aware of the debt consequences of purchasing more than they can afford to spend.
\r\n\r\nA hoarder’s mentality, on the other hand, is not connected to pride, and they often actually feel embarrassed of the amount of things they've accumulated. This is why it's so important to be supportive and work on the cleanup at a pace the hoarder is comfortable with. Helpers will need patience during most hoarding cleanups, so do your best to keep a positive, supportive attitude during the project. Aside from the mental preparation involved in helping during a hoarding situation cleanup, it’s also important to prep for the potential dangers involved in such a project.
\r\n\r\nRisks associated with hoarding cleanups include:
\r\n\r\n![\"Family](\"/static/3deb14e06154435812de0beca4dbfef0/hoarding-cleanup-team.jpg\")
\r\nThe first step to addressing any hoarding situation is to assemble a team of supportive and motivated people that the individual trusts.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe decluttering and cleanout process is incredibly difficult on those who hoard, so it’s important to have lots of support, motivation, and even a bit of tough love in some cases.
\r\n
A family member or close friend should be in charge of assembling a team and addressing the hoarding cleanup plan with the hoarder.

\r\nSeparate items of value, like furniture, household items, unopened packages, and other items that could be of benefit to others. These items can then be sold or brought to local charitable organizations. Recyclables, like newspaper, cardboard, plastics, metals, and building materials, can also be separated and brought to the nearest recycling facility. Keeping as much junk and debris out of landfills as possible is the most eco-friendly solution.
\r\n\r\nYour dumpster rental provider can help you optimize an eco-friendly disposal strategy, and some even offer discounts for clean-loaded dumpsters containing only recyclables; just ask!
\r\n\r\nOrganizations such as Habitat for Humanity will often come pick up gently used furniture and other home goods for free. Call your nearest Habitat ReStore or Salvation Army for details.
\r\n\r\nWith a team in place, it’s time to determine how you will go about organizing everything. In hoarding situations, there is often a lot of junk mixed in with a lot of items that can be used or sold. A dumpster rental will give you a convenient place to catch all the items you need to throw out, like broken furniture, old newspapers and magazines, large quantities of trash, and other old household items. Hiring a junk removal company to handle the hoarding cleanup is a convenient alternative, but a large job will cost thousands of dollars for a whole-home complete cleanout. The cost of renting a dumpster is half that or less in most cases.
\r\n\r\n| Roll-off Dumpster Size | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Rental Cost | \r\n\t\t
|---|---|
| 10 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$250-$450 | \r\n\t\t
| 20 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$350-$550 | \r\n\t\t
| 30 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$450-$650 | \r\n\t\t
| 40 yard dumpster | \r\n\t\t\t$550-$750 | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
Dumpster rental costs vary from city-to-city and from one contractor to the next, so it's important to get multiple quotes before signing a contract. This ensures you get the best services without overpaying.
\r\n\r\nSpecialty cleanup companies focused on hoarding situations may be an option in your area. These hoarding cleanup services are like specialized junk removal service providers. They are experts in safely and efficiently removing junk, but they are also experienced in handling hoarding specifically. Search local junk removal companies to find one who has experience handling hoarding situations.
\r\n\r\nIt's common for a hoarding cleanup service to charge somewhere between $0.75-$2.50 per square foot of living space overtaken with junk, garbage, and waste, plus an additional cost of $25-$60 per hour, per laborer.
\r\n\r\nHoarding cleanups are major projects. Not surprisingly, projects of this magnitude require a large dumpster or junk removal solution. A large hoarding project will generally require a 30 or 40 yard dumpster for the average-sized home, and disposal costs can add up quickly if multiple dumpsters are required to complete the job. Large dumpsters can cost $450 on the low end, and up to $750+ on the hight end for a seven-day rental period. If a junk removal service is hired for the job, you can expect to pay at least double the cost of renting a dumpster.
\r\n\r\nCall several dumpster providers and get a quote from each. Use the information gathered to negotiate a discount or a longer rental period.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPlan ahead and contact several dumpster rental providers or junk removal companies 1-2 weeks or more in advance.
\r\n
If you can't choose between two sizes, then go with the larger size. The difference in price is less compared to having to potentially rent a second dumpster to finish the job. Some dumpster rental companies offer discounts for seniors, military, veterans, etc. Be sure to ask.

This guide will cover the key details to share with a dumpster rental company when renting a roll-off container or trailer dumpster.

\r\nAlways be sure to share the details of the type of waste, junk, or debris you’re disposing of.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOne of the main factors dumpster rental companies will need to know is the type and amount of debris you have to get rid of.
\r\n
Dumpster rental companies have rules when it comes to dumpster loading.
\r\n\r\nSome rental providers don’t allow certain types of mixed loads, such as mixing concrete debris with general household trash.
\r\n\r\nCertain debris needs to be clean loaded. Local laws often regulate how certain types of debris are handled, such as whether it is recycled or landfilled.
\r\n\r\nWhen calling to get a quote or book a dumpster, know exactly which types of debris will be loaded in the dumpster.
\r\n\r\nCommon types of debris include household trash, yard debris, concrete/asphalt, construction debris, furniture, appliances, roofing materials, or dirt/inert debris.
\r\n\r\nWith the above information, the dumpster rental company will be able to suggest the most appropriate dumpster rental solution to accommodate the job.
\r\n\r\nRead more:
\r\n\r\nYour project size is immensely important in helping to determine the proper dumpster size for the job as well.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nReputable dumpster rental companies are incredibly accurate at knowing which size dumpster(s) are ideal for various projects.
\r\n
You don’t need to know the exact cubic yardage, but you do need to know the details of the project.
\r\n\r\nFor example, when renting a dumpster for a shed demolition, it’s important to know the size of the shed and the materials it’s made from (wood, plastic, etc.).
\r\n\r\nBy giving the dumpster rental company a descriptive summary of the project, they will be able to suggest the right dumpster solution.
\r\n\r\nIf you want to estimate the amount of debris yourself, 1 cubic yard of debris measures 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft.
\r\n\r\nYou may find it easier to visualize a standard kitchen stove, which is approximately equal to 1 cubic yard.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"person](\"/static/4f927d9dcd74c04800e4df7b010aa2c3/project-schedule.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDiscuss your project timeline with the dumpster rental company to ensure it aligns with their drop-off and pick-up schedule.
\r\n
This will help keep the project moving smoothly and minimize the risk of delays.
\r\n\r\nCall the dumpster rental company well in advance of the project to ensure they can meet your schedule requirements.
\r\n\r\nDiscuss when you need the dumpster dropped off as well as when you need it picked up. If the rental company cannot meet those needs, try a different company.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"trailer](\"/static/0fe788487537767ba5ac6b9310ba761d/trailer-dumpster.jpg\")
\r\nNot all projects are the same. Every construction project, estate cleanout, roofing job, or any other job requiring a dumpster has special nuances that may need to be communicated to the dumpster rental company.
\r\n\r\nHere are some examples:
\r\n\r\nThere are any number of special circumstances that may apply to your situation.
\r\n\r\nAnything that may help the dumpster rental company be more accommodating to your situation should be discussed when you call for a dumpster quote or book online.
\r\n\r\nHometown makes it easy to find dumpster rental companies near you.

\r\n\r\nShould you buy a dumpster bag and have Waste Management pick it up or rent a small dumpster from a local dumpster service?
\r\n\r\n\r\nTo answer this question, we compare buying a 3 cubic yard Bagster from Waste Management with renting a 10 cubic yard dumpster from a local dumpster service.
\r\n\r\nWe'll compare...
\r\n\r\nThis is not an apples-to-apples comparison, because a 10 yard roll-off dumpster holds 3x more debris than the Bagster.
\r\n
\r\nHowever, for many parts of the country, a 10 yard roll-off dumpster is the smallest temporary dumpster available to rent, so this comparison represents the real life options available to most people with smaller disposal needs.
\r\nThe Bagster from Waste Management is a small, portable 3 cubic yard bag made of tough, woven material. It's for single use, and you must first purchase the bag.
\r\n\r\nThe Bagster is available at home improvement stores and online. After you fill it up, you schedule to have it picked up by Waste Management (WM).
\r\n\r\nHere's exactly how the Bagster process works:
\r\n\r\n![\"dumpster](\"/static/4fbad95466753d24b4985922eceae784/10-yard-roll-off-dumpster-with-rear-door_0.jpg\")
Temporary dumpster rental is available nationwide from local dumpster services.
\r\n\r\nSimply contact a company serving your area and learn their rental policies and prices. Set up delivery to your location, and call the dumpster company back when you're done filling it to schedule pick-up.
\r\n\r\nHere's how dumpster rental works exactly:
\r\n\r\nThe Bagster bag itself costs roughly $30, and the purchase price is relatively constant throughout the country. The larger cost, however, is the cost of pick-up.
\r\n\r\nIncluding pick-up, Bagster costs range from $140-$340 in total.
\r\n\r\nFor most areas, the cost of Bagster pick-up ranges from $119-$199 per pick-up, but costs vary significantly. New York City is arguably the most expensive, where it costs $307 to pick up your first Bagster ($285.25/bag for each additional bag).
\r\n\r\nA 10 yard dumpster costs more than the smaller dumpster bag, but it holds 3x more debris.
\r\n\r\nOn average, 10 yard dumpsters cost $250-$350.
\r\n\r\nLike the prices for Bagster pick-up, dumpster rental prices fluctuate from one town to the next. Get educated on how dumpster prices work to get the best deal.
\r\n\r\nThe rental period included with the price varies by hauler, but 7-14 days is common. If more days are needed than the hauler's standard period, the dumpster service generally charges a per-day or per-week fee on top of the normal cost.
\r\n\r\nWith such a wide price range across the country, you should get prices specific to your local area. Calling a couple local haulers is the best way to get an accurate price for your location and debris.
\r\n\r\nFor a general idea, we've surveyed hundreds of dumpster rental costs throughout the United States to give you an idea of what you can expect to pay in your area.
\r\n\r\nThe Bagster is cheaper on paper, but it's a lot more expensive per cubic yard of debris than a 10 yard dumpster.
\r\n\r\nLearn more: Bagster Pickup Cost vs Renting a 10 Yard Dumpster
\r\nThe small size of the Bagster is its biggest limitation. The Bagster is only a good choice if you have 3 cubic yards or less of debris.
\r\n\r\nWM's bag is 8 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2.5 feet tall. It can hold up to 3 cubic yards of waste, or 606 gallons. Because the Bagster is only 2 ft 6 in. high, large bulky materials, like a sofa or other furniture items, are not going to fit well.
\r\n\r\nThe Bagster is a good choice if you have 3 cubic yards or less of debris and your individual items are on the small side.
\r\n\r\nAs its name implies, a 10 yarder can hold up to 10 cubic yards of waste.
\r\n\r\n10 yard dumpster dimensions vary by hauler, but a common size is 12 ft long x 8 ft wide x 3.5 ft tall.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nYou can load up to 3,300 lbs of debris into the Bagster (provided it meets all other size/fill requirements).
\r\n\r\nThe amount of weight included in the price of renting a 10 yard dumpster varies by hauler, so look closely at the 'included weight' when renting a dumpster.
\r\n\r\nThe average included weight of a 10 yard dumpster is 2-3 tons, or 4,000-6,000 lbs. Generally, if you go over the included weight, there is a 'price per ton' for the additional weight.
\r\n\r\nPrice per ton for additional weight depends on the disposal fees charged by landfills in your area, but ranges from $60-$100 on average and is often pro-rated.
\r\n\r\n![\"Waste](\"/static/99a5a819937ef7724930cea1f6eb81ff/Bagster-8-Full.jpg\")
\r\nJust because the dumpster bag is small and portable doesn't mean you can place the bag anywhere. If you place the bag in your side yard or backyard, away from truck entrance points, WM won't be able to snag it with their truck and crane.
\r\n\r\nBagster placement is generally in your driveway or on your front lawn, by the road. In order for Waste Management to be able to pick the bag up, there must be a minimum of 18 feet of overhead clearance. In addition, the crane cannot extend outward beyond 16 feet.
\r\n\r\nFor trucks to fit, alleyways and driveways must be at least 12 feet wide, and trucks cannot turn into a driveway from an alleyway.
\r\n\r\nOf course, leaving a Bagster on your lawn for days or weeks will kill the grass underneath, so generally a driveway is the best option, if available.
\r\n\r\nDumpster placement is generally on your driveway, parking lot, or possibly in an alley or on the street.
\r\n\r\nSome cities prohibit dumpsters on the street or require a permit in order to do so. Be sure to ask the dumpster providers you speak to about permitting requirements in your area and whether or not they will handle this for you.
\r\n\r\nRoll-off dumpsters are generally 8 feet wide, and the trucks that pick up these containers are a similar width. If available, driveway placement is generally preferred.
\r\n\r\nIf placing near the garage, be sure the hauler leaves enough room for your dumpster door to swing open and your garage to be accessible. Discuss dumpster placement with your hauler.

Typically, the materials allowed in a Bagster and a dumpster are very similar.
\r\n\r\nMost types of construction and demolition debris, household junk, and heavy debris, like bricks and cement, are allowed.
\r\n\r\nWith the Bagster, whether yard waste is allowed depends on your location.
\r\n\r\nPaint, chemicals, hazardous waste, propane tanks, and appliances are a few of the restricted items that are never allowed in a Bagster. Check out WM's bag filling guidelines for a complete list of what is and isn't accepted in a Bagster.
\r\n\r\nBecause the two get dumped in the same place—the landfill—what you can and can't put in a dumpster is very similar to that of a Bagster.
\r\n\r\nProhibited materials can vary by hauler, so be sure to check with the dumpster companies you speak to in order to see what is and isn't allowed in their dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nSo, which works better for you—buying a 3 yard Bagster or renting a 10 yard dumpster? The answer really depends on the type and amount of debris you have.
\r\n\r\nIf you're only pitching 3 yards or less of general household junk, a dumpster bag is a great option. But 3 yards of capacity fills up fast.
\r\n\r\nIf you're unsure whether or not you'll have more than 3 cubic yards of debris, the safe bet is to rent a dumpster. Don't be surprised if the things you want to get rid of multiplies after you have the dumpster bag or dumpster.
\r\n\r\nGetting rid of debris and junk is almost always contagious. It feels good to cleanse yourself of unneeded stuff, and you'll almost always find more to get rid of than you anticipate.
