The Preferred Dumpster Service of Lake In The Hills

40 Yard Dumpster

Commercial sites often require the biggest roll-off container. The typical dumpster sizes for metal dumpsters are 10-, 15-, 20-, 30- and 40-cubic yards. All those sizes should be enough to fulfill all types of needs.

The biggest size is the 40-cubic yard, which is equal to about 14 to 16 pickup trucks in terms of volume. A 20-cubic yard container, meanwhile, can fill six pick-up trucks. This type of dumpster is perfect for medium-sized projects such as renovation of two or three rooms, changing the roof or tearing off the carpeting or replacing the whole flooring So exactly how much can a dumpster accommodate? Think of a regular-sized pick-up truck. We can understand if you are still confused over the uses of the different sizes of metal containers because it’s very hard to picture out just how large a 10-cubic yard can hold. Choosing the right size of dumpster will save you money and trouble from having to make several trips or rent another container to accommodate all your wastes. For large-scale construction projects, though, or those where there is a need to demolish, the 40-cubic yard dumpster is the best choice. It would be a terrible waste of space if you chose a big dumpster in relation to the volume of trash in your property.

Dumpsters vary by size and type. Exceeding the weight limit can lead to a host of problems, not least of which is seeing all your trash ending up on the street on the way to the landfill because the container split.

What Our Customers Have to Say

How Much Can I Expect To Pay For a Dumpster Rental?

The table rates you see on websites are just the estimated cost based on the size of the roll off rental. As you may already know, the size of the dumpster will impact on the cost. But you also count the type of dumpster (heavy duty vs. standard), the contents and other fees (permits or sanitary landfill fees). Dumpster pricing is influenced mostly by dumpster type, size, location, availability, rental period, the volume of trash for disposal, and city laws on waste disposal.

You can expect the price to change for these types of dumpsters:

• construction job sites
• remodeling projects
• roofing projects
• landscaping jobs
• home cleanouts
• just about any kind of debris removal

The junk that you put inside the container is significant in determining the rental cost. We do this to ensure that the litter we bring to the landfill won’t get rejected. Just to give you an idea, batteries, cell phones and glasses are not allowed in the dumpsite.

• roofing & shingles
• dirt & yard waste
• construction debris
• concrete
• household junk

Size matters, but container availability and the rental period are also seen to increase dumpster prices. If you have more questions, talk to our knowledgeable staff and be assured that you will get the answer you need. The extra 10-cubic yard can be considered as wasted space. The worst thing is you are paying for that space. Call us today at 847-440-3328 so we can start the process right away.

Do I Have to Apply for a Permit for a Dumpster Rental?

Call the Lake In The Hills number to ask for more information on the permit requirements and how to apply for one. We always encourage our clients to park the dumpster in their property so they won’t have any problems with their local homeowner’s association officer or government inspector. Doing so will make it possible for you to still use your driveway while your project is underway. The homeowner’s association may be a different beast, however, since it has its own rules and regulations regarding renting a dumpster. You will also be made to pay a minimal fee. Better work on this ahead of time so you can proceed with your project according to your timeline.

Rented dumpsters that are placed inside your own driveway will no longer need city permits. However, you may still have to inform your homeowners’ association about the length of time the rented dumpsters will remain on your property.
