What You Should Know About Dumpster Rental in Indianapolis

Everyone finds themselves having to get rid of large amounts of junk at some point. It may be due to a relocation, or because of a home renovation project. Whether you live in or near Indianapolis – or anywhere else in the world – dumping our trash is something we often take for granted.

However, there are times when putting your unwanted items in the trash out on the curb won’t work.

It could be that your junk items are too big or that there’s too much for your household trash bins. For example, you may have a small landscaping or construction project that’s generating a lot of debris. In these situations, it helps to have a better way to get rid of the big stuff instead of having to haul it yourself.

There are times when hiring a full-service junk removal company is a perfect solution. However, for some other projects, renting a roll-off dumpster for your junk can be a better waste removal solution. Fortunately, when it comes to dumpster rental, Indianapolis has some great options.

How to Know When to Rent a Dumpster

Of course, you know that using a junk hauling company or a dumpster rental are not your only options for disposing of your unwanted material. In fact, there are usually two ways to get rid of your junk:

  1. You can do it yourself with you own (or a borrowed) truck
  2. Or you can hire a full-service junk removal company or dumpster

While the second option may be the easiest, it can sometimes be quite expensive to pay have your trash, debris or old belongings hauled off for disposal. On the other hand, using a full-service junk-removal company can be a convenient option because you don’t have to move anything yourself.

Hauling junk or excess debris yourself, however, not only requires having a suitable vehicle, but you also have to be able to load and unload it yourself. For many people, this is not a practical option.

Renting a Dumpster as an Option

Oftentimes, a dumpster rental can be a perfect solution for getting rid of large amounts of waste and debris. This could be material generated by landscaping, community events, home renovations, and large-scale clean outs. In many cases, especially with projects involving debris over a period of time, having a rented dumpster is a great way to go.

Which option is best for you depends on your situation. When considering costs note that, for dumpster rental, Indianapolis prices typically depend on your location, the size of dumpster you need, how long you will need it, and the company you choose to rent from.

In addition, consider the expected total amount of waste you’ll have and whether it will be accumulating over time.

For example, a dumpster rental can be an ideal option if:

  • You expect to generate debris over a few days
  • You expect to have as much as 12 cubic yards of waste

Hiring a junk removal service may the way to go if:

  • All your junk is in one location and ready to go
  • You may have significantly more than 12 cubic yards of waste

Dumpster Rental in Indianapolis

For dumpster rental, Indianapolis dumpster companies typically work the same way:

  • Call the dumpster rental company
  • Arrange a date for the drop-off
  • Fill the dumpster with junk
  • Have it picked-up when you’re done

Snow is common during Indiana winters between November and March. This is also something you want to think about when making your dumpster rental plans during that time. In addition, our winter storms can cause problem for scheduling and picking up rental dumpsters. A good winter strategy is to plan your rentals for periods that are not likely to experience heavy snowfall.

Keep in mind, too, that snow and ice can increase the weight of the dumpster and this can increase your fee if your dumpster rental based on the final pick up weight of your dumpster. Fortunately, Junk King only charges you based on the amount of space you use, however, so you won’t be charged the added weight of snow and ice.

Renting a Dumpster in Indianapolis

A rented dumpster is often the best way to get rid of large amounts of waste in Indianapolis. Instead of making multiple trips to a landfill you can fill the dumpster gradually as you work through your projects. And once you’re done, you simply have the company and come and pick up the dumpster.

Items You Can’t Place in a Rental Dumpster

Dumpsters rented in Indianapolis are subject to state-wide regulations that prohibit specific materials. Make sure that the materials you need to dispose of are suitable for a dumpster.

Here are some of the items not allowed in Indiana municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills:

  • Hazardous waste
  • Regulated PCB wastes
  • Bulk liquids
  • Scrap tires or yard waste
  • Gas or Propane
  • Ammo
  • Oils, flammables, etc.

In addition, federal law states that you also cannot put prohibits household hazardous waste (HHW) items in dumpsters. Examples of common HHW materials include:

  • Paint cans, varnish
  • Bleach, kitchen and bathroom cleaners
  • Motor oil
  • Pesticides and lawn fertilizers
  • Medications
  • Pool chemicals

You should contact the junk removal company for clarification if you are unsure about anything you want to place in a rented dumpster.

Time Periods for Dumpster Rentals

Some dumpster rental companies charge based on the length of time that you want to rent the unit, so it is critical that you make sure to check beforehand. Other companies, such as Junk King, only charge for the amount of space used in the dumpster for a set period of time. This can prove to be more cost-effective for many Indianapolis residents.

Where to Place Rental Dumpsters

While renting a dumpster can be easy, there are still some logistics to consider. Typically, the dumpster will be placed on your property, or on the curb outside your home, but keep in mind that some places require a permit to put it on a city street or other public right of way areas, so be sure to check first.

You should also have it placed where it will be easily accessible for you and for the rental company, like a driveway or even a yard, if possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Junk King’s Dumpster Rentals

If you still have questions about our dumpster rental service, check out our answers to some of the most common questions we receive below.

  • Our dumpsters can hold up to 12 cubic yards, which is a surprising amount of space. That’s big enough to fit a dozen or so full trash bags, old appliances, several mattresses, or multiple pieces of furniture.

  • At Junk King, you only pay for the space you use. Our dumpster rental prices are divided into three tiers to accommodate various needs and budgets: minimum, half, and full. Our minimum price is the lowest price we charge for dumpster drop-off and pickup and is best suited for customers with only a few items. If your dumpster is half full, you can expect to pay anywhere from 30% off the full price (depending on your location) up to the full price. You’ll be charged the full rental service price for a dumpster that exceeds half capacity.

  • Junk King always works around your schedule. When you schedule a dumpster rental, we’ll call you 15 minutes before to confirm and we’ll show up for the appointment on time. We also guarantee to pick up on time, so you won’t get stuck with your dumpster for longer than you need it.
