What are Dumpster Rental Costs in Sarasota?

According to HomeAdvisor.com, the national average cost for a dumpster rental falls at $396. However, if you are in the process of looking for a dumpster rental company in Sarasota, you may find that the price quotes you receive vary – some will be lower; some higher. Some will seem lower but may end up costing more once you’ve paid all the associated fees. The fact is that dumpster rental costs fluctuate based on several factors, from the length of your rental to whether you need a home waste bin or a yard waste dumpster rental.

The bottom line is that looking at average costs when planning your dumpster rental can be misleading. Yes, averages always exist. This point is a fact of simple mathematics. However, when it comes to renting a dumpster, there are so many variables at play—and such a wide range between the lowest and highest prices—that the average doesn’t mean anything. Rather than budgeting $400 because of what you read on HomeAdvisor, you should consider how your plans for a dumpster rental might impact your overall cost.

Below, we have outlined few of the factors you need to consider when planning your rental.

  • The size of your dumpster

dumpster rental costsPerhaps the most significant cost-deciding variable in the dumpster rental business is the size of bin you choose. Standard dumpster bin sizes include 10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards. You can also find sizes in between those, such as 12 cubic meters or 15 cubic meters. As you would expect, you typically pay more for larger sizes. And while you won’t pay three times as much for a 30-yard dumpster as you would for a 10-yard bin, the cost variance can still be upwards of $200.

If you are on a tight budget, you will probably be drawn toward the smaller bins because they are less expensive by definition. However, you might also be concerned about not having enough space for all the junk or debris you need to throw away. This dilemma forces a classic “hedging of bets” among dumpster renters: they get a bin slightly larger than what they think they need, “just in case.” Unfortunately, this move often results in wasted money, because most dumpster rental companies charge a flat rate for each bin size. If you rent a 20-yard bin but only use ten cubic yards of space, you aren’t going to be charged the $200 rate for a 10-yard dumpster. Instead, you will still be expected to pay the $300 fee for the 20-yard container.

To avoid this situation, look for a dumpster rental company that bills based on the amount of dumpster space you use. This way, you will only pay for junk you have on hand. You won’t end up wasting $100 on capacity space you don’t need.

  • The type of trash or debris

What type of project do you have in mind for your dumpster rental? Are you cleaning out a business office to prepare for a relocation? Are you renovating the first floor of your house? Are you doing a landscaping project? Some companies bill differently for a yard waste dumpster rental than they do for a renovation/construction debris dumpster rental. Some companies also restrict specific items that you might be planning to put in your dumpster, for example, mattresses or air conditioning units. These items might be banned outright, or they might cost extra. You need to be aware of these factors because they could affect both the cost and convenience of your dumpster rental.

Your best bet here is to look for the dumpster rental company with the fewest restrictions. A company that lets you put almost anything in their dumpsters is going to be the most convenient and cost-effective overall. Of course, there are also some environmental concerns to consider here, since there are good reasons that dumpster rental companies don’t want to take mattresses or appliances to landfills. Keep an eye out for a dumpster rental provider that offers a sustainable service. With a green dumpster rental, you typically get a company that sorts your junk for you after pickup, extracting items suitable for recycling, repurpose, or donation, or otherwise disposed of in an alternate fashion.

  • Delivery distance

When considering a dumpster rental in Sarasota, it’s certainly important to think about location. Just as you pay more for a longer Uber ride, you will also pay more for a dumpster delivery that requires more driving. Since dumpster rentals require a driver to come to your location, drop off your container, and then return a few days later to collect the dumpster, the delivery distance can indeed impact the cost of your rental significantly. When you are getting price quotes, make sure driving distance is factored into the estimates that companies give you.

  • The length of your rental

Figure out how long you need your dumpster. If you are doing a cleanout, ask friends and family to help you so you can minimize the time. If you are doing a renovation, clear out a few days to work exclusively on the project, or ask your contractor how long the work is expected to run. Longer rentals cost more, so it is in your best interest to keep the project brief. Your neighbors will appreciate a quick job, too, since they probably won’t appreciate having to look at a dumpster in your driveway all the time.

  • Other Fees

The best dumpster companies are forthright with their pricing. In other words, they won’t hit you with unexpected fees at the last minute. Once you are seriously considering a dumpster rental company, it’s essential to get someone on the phone to talk you through the service they provide. Ask this person point blank about pricing and fees. If they tell you that there are no hidden fees, get their name and document the information. You want to be able to point to some evidence if the company goes back on its word later. It’s also not a bad idea to read a few online reviews. If a company charges excessive (and not-so-transparent fees) for dumping, trash processing, junk weight, or “convenience,” an angry customer has probably raised the issue on Yelp.

  • The other costs of your project

As you budget for your project, don’t forget that there may be costs associated with the work that goes beyond the dumpster rental. The best part of renting a dumpster is that it allows you to work on a DIY basis. However, there may be other places where you need to spend money, from the obvious (buying building materials for your renovation) to the less obvious (tipping your buddies for helping you with some heavy lifting). Considering every aspect of your project and budget will save you from surprises down the road.

Don’t Turn Your Sarasota Home Into A Storage Unit

How close are you to being described as a hoarder? We all have those things we like to collect. For some it is cookbooks. Other people have huge collections of DVDs and CDs. Those types of collections aren’t automatically obsessive but more like a hobby. It’s when you have to build additional storage space that a collection becomes a problem. There is a couple who collects Cabbage Patch kids that have actually built a warehouse on their property that is bigger than their own home. Those people are deliberately turning their home into a storage unit. As for the rest of us, that home storage unit kind of creeps up on us. Before you know it, you can’t park your garage in the car or find anything in your closet. When the clutter gets to be too much, it’s time to call in the pros from Junk King.
