Frequently Asked Questions about Dumpster Rental & Waste Management for FL
First time dumpster renters and seasoned professionals have questions about their dumpster rental needs. Please read through these common and contact us for additional information.
To choose the right dumpster size, consider your project’s scope, type of waste, available space, and local regulations. Small projects like garage cleanouts typically need a 10-yard dumpster, medium projects like room remodels suit a 20-yard dumpster, and large projects like construction may require a 30- or 40-yard dumpster. Heavy materials like concrete or dirt often require smaller dumpsters due to weight limits, while lighter debris can fill larger ones. A 10-yard dumpster holds about 3 truckloads of waste, a 20-yard holds 6, a 30-yard holds 9, and a 40-yard holds 12. Consulting a rental company ensures you get the best fit for your needs. Call us to get a free estimate.
The time it takes to get a dumpster delivered typically depends on the availability and your location. In most cases, dumpsters can be delivered within 24 to 48 hours of placing your order. However, some companies offer same-day delivery if the order is placed early enough, while others may require additional lead time, especially during busy seasons or for larger dumpsters. Factors like your proximity to the rental company, availability of specific dumpster sizes, and local regulations can also influence delivery timelines. To ensure timely delivery, it’s best to book in advance and confirm the expected delivery date by calling our office.
