How Easy Dumpster Rental Prices Its Rolloff Units

Before renting a dumpster it’s a good idea to get an understanding of how we determine our rental rates. For your edification will explain the main factors that comprise our pricing model. We always give you flat-rate pricing, with no surprise fees. The 4 components consist of: landfill fees, type of debris, the weight of the materials we will be transporting, and the length of the bin rental period.
Four main elements which influence the rolloff rental cost:

• A) Landfill fees – The cost for disposing of waste material and debris at a landfill generally varies between each city, county, and state. Thus, the price for dumping waste in West Haven may be higher or lower than that of Shelton. We cannot control what a landfill will charge. With that said, Easy Dumpster Rental will never tack on extra landfill fees unless you go over the allowed weight limit or dispose of hazardous wastes. At the end of this article, we will list a few of the more common household hazardous materials.
• B) Debris Type – The type of trash that you intend to dispose of will definitely affect the rental cost of your container. Companies like Easy Dumpster Rental by law must deliver debris collected to specific locations. Some landfills take all and any type of materials. Others, for instance, do not have facilities to handle recyclables. Prices for dumping recyclables tend to be lower than hazardous waste. In these cases, we will take your recyclables to the local recycling center.
• C) Debris Weight – The volume of trash that you are getting rid of will determine the size of the rental can unit you will need. If you don’t know what size you need, rest assured our sales agents will find the perfect size. Generally speaking, there is 5 basic roll off sizes:
  • 10- cubic yards
  • 15-cubic yards
  • 20- cubic yards
  • 30- cubic yards
  • 40- cubic yards

There are other available dumpster sizes than those mentioned above, but they may not be available in every county. As a rule of thumb, the greater the size, the higher the starting cost. Customers tend to order larger canister units to get peace of mind to fit all the trash and not pay for an extra haul. That is unnecessary and a waste of your money.

We have created an easy-to-use dumpster weight calculator to help you make that decision. Our staff is highly skilled and knowledgeable and with a few questions about your project, they will get you the right roll off for the job. And keep in mind, that we service both the residential and construction markets. So, there is no job too big or small for us to handle.

• D) Rental Period – Typically, rolloff dumpster units are rented for 7-day or 14-day periods. However, we realize that life doesn’t always go according to plan, so you can keep the dumpster as long as you need it. Just let us know before the rental period is to expire so we don’t have to charge you late fees. Also, we will send you an email to let you know that your rental period is nearing its end. We truly want you to have a wonderful experience with our company and we will do all it takes to make that happen. Here is a list of some common household hazardous waste:

• • Home heating oil, Antifreeze, Fluorescent light bulbs, Batteries, Driveway sealer, Pool chemicals.

If you are not sure if something is hazardous please either check with us or call your local city officials and ask them. Another alternative is to check with your Regional EPA office.
