Get the Right Sized Dumpster

Renting a roll-off dumpster bin is often essential for any job and allows homeowners and contractors to devote their time to their projects.  EDR supports its clients by giving them access to maximize efficiency by renting the appropriate bin and service for each specific job and offers 10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards bins.  But determining how much waste a project will produce can be difficult for both professionals and residents.
To better help customers get the right dumpster bin, Easy Dumpster Rental offers Dumpster Conversion tables to help estimate refuse by using more familiar volumes, such as brute trashcans, wheelbarrows, pickup trucks, dump trucks, and oversized items (such as furniture) and converts these units into cubic yards. Customers also benefit from the Easy Dumpster Rental Dumpster Calculator, which can be used be used to assess a project’s required volume and weight and the corresponding bin.

Optimize The Volume of Your Roll-off Dumpster Bin

Another way to maximize efficiency is to organize the containers to optimize efficiency. Consider the following tips:

• First, organize refuse outside the bin to whatever extent possible to get the bulk items in first, after which smaller items and debris can be fitted around these bulk items. Also, be careful to bundle long items, such as piping or wood moldings, and place them along the sides of the dumpster bin.
• Second, break down items, especially boxes, and again bundle long thin items to reduce their required volume (it is much more difficult to break down items after they have been placed in the dumpster bin).
• Third, set aside recyclable items at take them in separately for free disposal to save space for debris that has a cost associated with disposal.  This is especially the case with metals, which are often heavy (every dumpster has a maximum weight) and may bring a small profit at a recycling site.
