What You Should Know About Dumpster Rental in Sarasota

Sometimes you need to get rid of large amounts of trash or junk. In fact, no matter where you live, if you are looking to rid yourself of a large amount of debris from a project or downsizing and getting rid of excess “stuff” you need an efficient way to do it. Sarasota is no different.

Throwing out our trash is something that many of us usually take for granted. Especially if we live in an area with municipal trash service. However, there are times when you can’t just throw your unwanted items in the trash bin.

It could be because your items are too big, or there’s way too much junk or debris. That’s when you need a different way to get rid of it all easily and inexpensively. Now, you could do it yourself, but you probably will need a truck and be able to load and unload the debris or junk. But that doesn’t work for everyone.

You could hire a full-service junk hauling firm, but that usually works best if you need it all picked up at once. However, for some projects, a better waste removal solution is renting a dumpster in Sarasota for your junk.

Know When to Rent a Dumpster

Keep in mind that renting a dumpster isn’t your only choice for getting rid of your unwanted material. But there are typically only two other ways to haul your junk without renting a dumpster: you can do it yourself or hire a full-service junk removal company.

But doing it yourself can be hard work, time consuming, and even a bit risky. In addition, you may have to load, drive, unload, several times to get it all done. Also, you must deal with the landfill or facility dumping fees and may possibly need to rent a truck (and buy gas!)

Given all that, hiring a full-service junk-removal company is a far more convenient option, and you probably won’t have to move anything yourself. While this may be the easier option, it can also be a bit expensive to pay an entire crew of laborers to pick up your junk and take it away for disposal, depending on the firm you choose.

When to Consider Dumpster Rental

A common question about dumpster rental Sarasota residents often have is, “When do I actually need one?”

Many homeowners think dumpster rentals are only necessary if the volume of debris they have is overwhelming. But when you consider the options, especially the time and effort needed to do it yourself, a rented dumpster can be cost-effective for even smaller amounts of junk.

Dumpster Rental or Junk Removal

Going with a full-service junk removal company may be a better option if all your junk is in one place and it’s ready to be picked up. Also, it can be great if you have more than 12 cubic yards of debris to be picked up.

On the other hand, rental dumpsters are perfect for waste from landscaping projects, home remodels, or other large-scale clean ups. A dumpster rental is a great option if you’ll be generating debris over time and you expect to have up to 12 cubic yards of waste.

In fact, a rented dumpster is often the best way to get rid of large amounts of waste. One benefit is that you don’t need to make multiple trips to a waste management facility. Instead you can fill the dumpster gradually as you work through your project. And once you’re done, you simply have the provider pick up the filled dumpster.

Rental Dumpster FAQs

What’s Not Allowed in a Rental Dumpster?

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

The following items are some of the restricted or banned waste items that considered hazardous household waste in the state of Florida:

  • Paints and stains
  • Pesticides, herbicides and poisons
  • Pool and spa chemicals
  • Automotive fluids
  • Household cleaners
  • Batteries
  • Aerosol spray products
  • Propane tanks
  • Fluorescent lamps and ballasts

Items such as ammunition, explosive and highly flammable materials are prohibited entirely. The best thing to do if you’re unsure about what to place in a rented dumpster is to contact an experienced junk removal company.

Where Can You Place a Rental Dumpster?

While a rental dumpster can be perfect for your waste disposal project, there are logistical considerations involved.  It will usually be placed on your property, since city streets and other public right of way areas may require permits. You should check with your local government about their specific regulations.

How Long Can You Rent a Dumpster?

For dumpster rental, companies in Sarasota usually charge for the length of time that you want the container so it’s critical that you check beforehand. Other companies may charge you based on the amount of space you use within the dumpster and for a set period. These can be the most cost-effective for Sarasota residents.

What Size are Rental Dumpsters?

Most dumpsters come in several standard sizes. Most people are familiar with the large 40 cubic yard receptacles. Unless you have a large commercial job, you probably won’t need one that large. Fortunately, a 12-yard dumpster from Junk King can easily hold the junk from most cleaning projects.

What is the Environmental Impact?

Most junk, trash and debris still ends up in local landfills and these are quickly reaching capacity in Sarasota County and nearby areas. However, dumpster rentals from eco-friendly companies can help keep much of your debris out of the landfills.

If you’re concerned about being environmentally friendly, go with a junk removal service like Junk King that focuses on salvaging and recycling junk.

Renting a Dumpster

Here are some terms that are helpful to know when renting a dumpster:

  • Load size: This is simply the volume of your actual load of debris in a dumpster. The Junk King dumpster holds up to 12 cubic yards of junk loaded by hand and you are only charged for how many cubic yards you fill.
  • Bedload: This is a measurement of loose debris such as dirt, rocks, tiles, shingles, bricks, or chunks of broken concrete. For example, a dumpster that is a third full (or 4 cubic yards) is equivalent to a large truck bedload.
  • Daily rates: At Junk King, our standard pricing includes up to 3 days of rental. And if you need it longer a simple fee of $30 per day will be added.

When renting a dumpster, you should think about their fee structure. Some charge by the day, others by the weight when it’s picked up, and others by the amount of space that you use. Most people find the last option to be the most cost-effective as it allows them to save money by loading their dumpster only as they need to within a set time frame.

Understanding Rental Costs in Sarasota

For dumpster rental, Sarasota prices depend on your location within or near Sarasota, the size of dumpster you rent, how long you rent it for, and the company you rent it from. And you may need to buy permits to use a dumpster on your street.

Junk King in Sarasota only charges you for the space you actually use! Other dumpster rental companies start with a flat fee and then add in other costs. Even with a larger project, the Junk King dumpster can save you money.

The dumpster, while smaller than standard dumpsters, holds up to 12 cubic yards and can work for everything from major cleaning projects to minor home renovations. And with a convenient 8 by 12 base, it is easily accessible.

Residential Dumpster Rental Tips

Be Organized

Plan ahead and take time to break down boxes or take apart bulky or unwieldy items to minimize space taken up in the dumpster.  Be sure to separate the stuff you want to get rid of from the items you want to keep. Being organized with your clean up before the dumpster arrives will help you avoid having to keep it for an extra day or two.

Save Money

There are ways to save money on your dumpster rental before you book it. Choose a company with the right fee structure, but also avoid dumping materials that will result in extra fees and have an accessible area so that it can also be picked up easily and on time.

Make it Convenient

Make sure the dumpster is put in an easy-to-reach location. This way it can be dropped off and picked up quickly and easily. Also, consider a dumpster from Junk King. These fit easily in driveways without blocking garage access, damaging your driveway, or causing pick-up problems.
