Managing a business is hard work, but never more so than when you’re undergoing a major project. Whether you’re clearing out a warehouse full of old merchandise, doing some remodeling in the office, or expanding your business, you’re going to have a million things to pay attention to at once. One of the best ways to handle these kinds of projects is to bring in some outside help for certain issues so you can focus your energy on the important stuff. Renting a commercial dumpster is a great way to check waste clean-up and removal off your to-do list without having to pay through the nose for full-service trash removal. It’s inexpensive, straightforward, and goes a long way to keep your business project clear of any junk or clutter.
What is a Commercial Dumpster?
In literal terms, a commercial dumpster is any large trash receptacle used for commercial interests. That includes the long-term dumpsters your business uses for city-provided trash pickup. However, when companies like Junk King talk about commercial dumpster rental, they’re referring to a short-term rental of what we call a roll-off dumpster.
Unlike the front-loader dumpster you likely have in the parking lot behind your building, a roll-off dumpster is intended to be relatively portable and is used to collect all the excess junk and trash generated by construction and clean-up projects. They’re often on wheels so they can be moved to wherever they’re needed and generally come in much larger sizes than front-loader dumpsters, which can typically hold between 2 and 10 cubic yards’ worth of trash. Roll-off dumpsters start at 10 cubic yards but go all the way up to 40 yards. The best dumpster for you will depend on the size and scope of your project, so it’s a good idea to make some estimations before you rent anything.
If you’re planning a big commercial project, there’s a very good chance you’ll end up with more trash and debris than you can fit in the standard front-loader dumpster, especially if you share it with other businesses. Commercial roll-off dumpsters give you enough space to fit all the junk generated by your project.
What Are the Advantages of This Service?
The main benefits of renting a commercial dumpster involve convenience for you and your workers. It might seem like a good idea to avoid the cost to rent a dumpster and instead collect your own trash in garbage bags or trash cans, but this can become overwhelming fairly quickly. You might be surprised at how much junk a single project can generate, and that’s before you have to deal with the problem of disposal. Not only does a commercial dumpster offer a single place to dump all your trash and debris, but the rental company will also handle all sorting, recycling, and trash disposal for you. In fact, once you add up the trash bags, gas from driving the filled bags around, disposal fees from the various municipal landfills and recycling centers, and the time spent sorting and collecting trash, you could end up spending about as much as a commercial dumpster costs to rent anyway.
A rented dumpster also helps keep the location a safe and professional workspace for your employees and contractors. Leaving debris and trash lying around is a serious safety hazard, and it can make the work itself much more difficult. Loading everything in a dumpster keeps the work site clean and free of any clutter and potential hazards.
How Do I Get Started with Renting the Best Commercial Trash Bin in Town?
If you have a big project up and you’re ready to get started now on finding the best trash bin company for you, your best bet is to start asking around. Speaking to other business owners is an especially good idea since most rental companies serve both commercial and residential customers and the quality of their service could differ depending on the type of customer. Like pretty much all businesses, dumpster rental companies live and die based on word-of-mouth. Asking around will get you a good sense of what their reputation is.
Once you’ve decided on a rental company, your next step is estimating the scope of your project so you know the right size dumpster to rent. The dumpster company should be able to help you out with that as well as give you an estimate of how much the rental will cost you. Pricing is typically based on both the size of the dumpster and the length of the contract.
Some companies, like Junk King Contra Costa, offer different pricing structures. These businesses offer standard-sized dumpsters to each customer and only charge you for the space you actually use, allowing you to skip the guesswork. This is still pretty rare in the industry, but it can save you a ton of money, especially if your project is relatively small and even a 10-yard dumpster is overkill.
What Happens Once I Place an Order for Delivery?
The order process for a dumpster rental from Junk King is pretty simple. All you have to do is give us a call, set an appointment, and wait for our truck to deliver the standard-size MINI dumpster to your place of business. The actual delivery process should only take a few minutes, and then the dumpster is all yours for the next three days. Once your three days are up, you can either extend the contract length for $20 per additional day or just wait for us to come back and pick up the filled dumpster. You’ll be charged for the amount of space you actually filled in the container, and we’ll take care of the sorting, recycling, and disposal of everything inside.
