Using a Dumpster with a Landfill or Transfer Station

It may seem like you may only want to get a dumpster if you don’t want to self-haul your waste. But knowing the local transfer station and landfill can be a great strategic asset for three reasons:

First, many smaller operators want to make sure they get the smallest dumpster available to save money. But what if you go over?  You may want to take some additional items to a landfill or transfer station to save a dump and return fee for only a small amount of waste.

Second, dumpster bins can often be rented at better prices if just one type of waste is used, such as yard waste or construction and demolition debris. Accordingly, the mixing of waste can be more expensive. Therefore, savvy dumpster bin renters may self-haul some items to keep their trash cheap. For example, and landscaping project may generate some construction debris if a piece of sidewalk is removed. It may be best to simply dispose of that separately rather than pay for mixed waste.

Finally, recycling is often best disposed of separately and special waste must be kept away from dumpsters. Therefore, Easy Dumpster Rental wants you to have your options available for the perfect dumpster rental experience. As follows are the local landfills and transfer stations near Pekin:
