Many homeowners and builders in Park City require dumpster rentals for home and work projects.  While renting a dumpster is relatively simple, understanding a few key things will help anyone looking to rent a dumpster have a better rental experience.

Let’s take a look at 3 tips for renting a dumpster in Park City that will help you get the best possible service.

Plan Ahead

One of the biggest issues that homeowners in Park City can run into when renting a dumpster, especially in the busy summer months, is availability.  During the summer, dumpster rentals are in high demand and if you need one immediately you could be out of luck.

By planning one to two weeks ahead of the day that you need your dumpster rental, you will ensure that your dumpster is delivered on time.

Understand Dumpster Rental Pricing

Dumpster rental pricing will vary by company and understanding how each company may charge you will help ensure that you don’t get overcharged or surprised by fees. 

Our pricing is simple, we charge one flat fee for each size of the containers. That fixed price gives you an allotted weight limit for each size container.  If you go over the weight limit you are charged per pound.

This is a pricing model that is followed by many dumpster rental companies but some charge fees that aren’t stated on their websites or on quotes.

Some dumpster rental companies charge per mile traveled and per pound hauled.  That means that you will get charged for every mile that is driven.  This fee can often add a substantial amount to your final price.

Pick The Correct Size

One of the biggest decisions that you will have to make when renting a dumpster is what size of the container to get.  The size of the dumpster that you will need will depend on the type of project that you are working on.

Dumpsters range in size from 15 yards to 30 yards.  For small projects and home cleanups, 15-yard dumpsters are usually sufficient.

For medium-sized projects such as a bathroom remodel, a 20-yard dumpster will likely work.

For large projects like living room remodels or home additions, a 30-yard dumpster will work best.

Choosing the correct size will help make sure that you don’t need to have your container dumped and redelivered. 

Conclusion:

Renting a dumpster is a fairly simple process but understanding how to pick the correct size, how dumpster pricing works and planning ahead will help you have the best possible dumpster rental experience.
