Construction Dumpster in Fort Madison, IA

How does the construction dumpster rental process work?

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. When you get the dumpster on site, fill it up, making sure to follow the rental provider’s rules on prohibited items.

4. 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.
