Whether you are embarking on a home improvement project or cleaning out your garage, you will likely need to rent a dumpster. This endeavor can be overwhelming.
To help answer your questions, this post provides everything you need to know about renting a dumpster in Omaha and offers a handful of companies to check out.
What sizes do dumpsters come in?
This depends largely on the company you hire, but standard sizes include 6, 10, 12, 15, and 20-yard containers. Larger sizes are available for even bigger projects.
How long can I rent a dumpster?
Rental agreements vary but most are for 7-10 days. If you need a dumpster longer, most companies give you the option to pay an extra fee per day to keep the dumpster.
What can I put in a dumpster?
The restrictions vary slightly from company to company (i.e. some companies are okay with concrete and others aren’t); however, most of the allowances and restrictions are universal. It is a good idea to check with a company on restrictions before renting a dumpster.
Here is a brief list of allowed items:
- Roofing materials
- Drywall
- Sinks
- Toilets
- Scrap wood
- Furniture
- Garage junk
- Mirrors
- Old small appliances (i.e. microwave)
- Scrap metal
- Yard waste
Restricted items:
- Tires
- Batteries
- Appliances
- Air Conditioners
- Paint cans
- Solvents or any flammable liquids
- Concrete (some companies ban this, and some don’t)
- Car batteries
- Oil
If you place restricted items in a dumpster, you will be charged extra fees for proper disposal.
What else do I need to know?
- Do not park or place anything in front of the dumpster as it can cause issues and delays with picking up your dumpster.
- Forewarn the company if you are placing concrete, blocks, dirt, or bricks in your dumpster. This is to ensure you are not exceeding the legal weight limits of the dumpster.
- Know ahead of time where you want the dumpster to be placed. This should be a site that is relatively level, free of anything lying around or underneath it, and away from areas where drainage occurs (i.e. downspouts).
- Accessibility is important when considering where to place a dumpster. You want it to be in a place that is both out of the way of your everyday activities but also convenient when you are filling it.
- Keep an eye on what is placed in the dumpster. Oftentimes, people will dispose of their items in your dumpster to avoid having to dispose of them properly. This could end up costing you.
- Be mindful of the fill level. Each dumpster has one, and you will want to make sure you're paying attention to it so you are not charged extra fees for overfilling.
