Construction Dumpster Tips for Birchleaf, VA
How does the construction dumpster rental process work?
-
Make a list of the types of debris you’ll be disposing of (e.g., wood, drywall, cabinets, carpeting, etc.) and the overall scope of the project.
-
Reach out to at least two or three different dumpster rental companies to compare prices. Most will price match or even beat a competitor’s pricing.
-
When you get the dumpster on site, fill it up, making sure to follow the rental provider’s rules on prohibited items.
-
Once you’re done filling the construction dumpster, call the rental provider to have it picked up. The container will then be weighed at a local landfill. If you have gone over your weight allowance, you may be responsible for overage charges, which range from $50 to $100 per ton on average.
