20 Yard Dumpster Tips for Salisbury Center, NY
What are the different types of 20 yard dumpsters?
Standard open-top roll-offs are the most common type of 20 yard dumpster. Most feature a door that swings open for easy loading, making it extra convenient to load bulky or heavy items, like furniture, appliances, concrete, and demolition debris. Dumpster trailers are another option that some dumpster rental providers offer. Trailers are a great option when the ground is soft or uneven.
Are there helpful reminders to keep in mind when renting a 20 yard dumpster?
Stay within your dumpster's weight allowance. The weight capacity will vary depending on who you rent from, but the average weight limit for a 20 yard dumpster is about 3 tons (6,000 lbs). A standard rental period is seven days, but this varies from company to company. A per-day late fee is applicable for keeping the dumpster longer than your contract covers, so make sure you understand your dumpster rental period. The type of waste/debris you plan on using the dumpster for is important. Some rental companies have rules in place based on the type of debris. The weight allowance may vary depending on the type debris you're throwing away. Some waste is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, hazardous wastes, tires, automotive fluids, and batteries. Many dumpster rental companies recycle. Make it easier for your dumpster rental company (and potentially less expensive for you) by separating recyclables when possible, like concrete, asphalt shingles, dirt, cardboard/paper, and scrap metal.
