How We Determine The Price Of A Rental Dumpster

We here at Easy Dumpster Rental feel that by explaining how we derive our prices that you will feel more comfortable doing business with us. We have no hidden agenda nor will we ever add on extra fees to your bill.

We utilize a flat-rate pricing model and when you get your quote from us at the beginning of the process that will be what you will pay when we pick up and drop up your final load. So, below we have laid out the 4 factors that comprise our pricing model.

1. Landfill Costs: Landfills charge what is called a tipping fee for the privilege of using their facilities. These fees help the landfill pay its operating costs, overhead, etc… Easy Dumpster Rental has no control over what landfill charges for each ton that is dropped off. And landfill fees will vary from county to county. Almost all landfills post their fees on their website or just ask your sales consultant at Easy Dumpster Rental. We do not tack on an extra fee for landfill costs unless you go over the allowed weight.
2. Debris Type: Depending on the materials being dumped there will be different fees incurred. And not all landfills accept all types of debris, so there may be more than one landfill our hauler may use. Which can add to the cost. It is worthy to note that recycling materials are usually cheaper than non-recyclables. And it is important to note that it is against federal law to use a dumpster company for hazardous waste removal. This will cost you dearly if you try to transfer hazardous waste by non-EPA-approved methods of transportation.
3. Debris Weight: There are two factors to consider when it comes to debris weight. One, the size of the rental rolloff and the weight of the material you will be putting into the dumpster bin. We carry 5 sizes of dumpster containers: 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards. A 10 yard bin is going to be less expensive than a 40 -yard dumpster-rolloff. Obliviously, the smaller the bin the lower the price because as you go up in size the heavier the dumpster the more it will initially cost. And what you are hauling away will impact the cost. Dirt is going to be at a lower cost than concrete.
4. Rental Period: Typically dumpster cans are rented for 14 or 30 day periods. So the longer you keep a container the more it is going to cost. By the way, you can keep a dumpster as long as you need it. Or, there are circumstances where you may want to purchase a rolloff-bin outright. Just ask your sales agent the options and prices available to you.

We hope that this explanation of how we price our rental bins has given you some insight into our pricing model. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact a member of our sales team. They will be more than willing to help you get answers. Remember we offer guaranteed on-time delivery and pick up.
