The Preferred Dumpster Service of Los Altos

40 Yard Dumpster

Dumpster sizes are measured in cubic yards, and while this gives you an idea on the volume of waste you can put in the container, you also have to understand that the type of waste and the size of your area are also significant when making a choice.

A 10-cubic dumpster, for instance, is equivalent to 3 pick-up truckloads. If the plan involves a little more complex remodeling project, rent our 20-yard dumpster. You will get to save more and experience fewer inconveniences by choosing the size of dumpster that can very well accommodate your waste requirements, no more, no less. 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. A 10-cubic yard dumpster can accommodate 3 pickup truckloads of trash. This dumpster size should be enough for clean-up projects involving small rooms. This dumpster size is perfect for small clean-up projects, having enough capacity to hold trash from small rooms like the attic, garage, and basement.
Steel, bricks and concrete debris need heavy duty dumpsters. Although our 10-cubic yard dumpster can hold as much as 6,000 pounds, we don’t recommend that you go near that cap just to be on the safe side. Be wary of the weight cap of each of our dumpsters. We have to know the kind of residential or commercial project you are embarking on, as well as the type of debris or trash you expect to produce, before we can even begin to make a recommendation. Call our phone at 562-276-2437 so you can relay to us all the basic information regarding your particular problem.

What Our Customers Have to Say

I Don’t Have Much Budget, Can I Still Rent a Dumpster?

Renting a dumpster for household and commercial junk removal will help a lot in keeping you sane all throughout the project. 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).

Here are the types of dumpsters available when you decide to rent a roll off container.

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

What you dump inside the container is going to affect the rental cost, one way or the other. It only makes sense because more fuel will be needed to carry heavier objects. Also, if there are hazardous wastes, you may need to pay extra fees. Find out the classifications of debris and rubbish to be dumped in our roll-off containers that will eventually affect the total rate. 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

It is a given that larger containers will come at a higher price tag, but it is also important to remember that container availability and rental period also affect the price. We have an extensive inventory, which allows us to provide a yard container at very short notice. If you are convinced you need a roll-off container rental service, call us at 562-276-2437.

Do I Need a Permit To Rent a Dumpster for My Los Altos Worksite?

Unfortunately, there are rules that govern roll off rentals. Even our company had to secure licenses before we can operate. Doing so will allow you to proceed with your project without limiting your space further. Second, you are putting the dumpster on the sidewalk or curb for a similar reason. In the first case, you are putting motorists at risk. In the second example, you are endangering pedestrians who may have to walk along the street because the dumpster is blocking the way. Note, however, that when rented dumpsters are parked on a public property, permits have to be secured from the local authorities. This poses a lot of problems if you don’t have the necessary permits from the local city office to put a large object from where motor vehicles pass by.

Rented dumpsters that are safely placed in private properties usually do not 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.
