Dumpster Renting vs. Junks Removal Services: Which Is the Best for You?
Are you renovating or moving? You're probably wondering how to deal with unwanted junk. Do you rent a dumpster or hire a junk removal company? There are many pros and cons to each option to consider. This post compares the two options to help you choose the appropriate solution for your needs.
Dumpster Rental
Dumpster rentals are a popular option for general contractors to use during large renovation projects or new home construction for their large capacity and high weight limits. Homeowners can rent dumpsters for similar DIY project’s or, to throw out large volumes of junk. However, before renting a dumpster, you should be aware of a few of the limitations of a dumpster.
- Dumpsters have item restrictions: Dumpsters limit your flexibility. Most dumpsters have a weight limits and item restrictions that may be inconvenient while trying to dispose of some items. Concrete, dirt , rocks and other landscaping materials generally require special dumpsters rated for higher weight limits and impact resistance. Furthermore, paint, automotive fluids, and other chemical waste is prohibited in dumpsters.
- You have to load it: With a dumpster rental, you will have to do the loading yourself. This is fairly obvious unless you plan to hire laborers, but loading can be very tiring and does require some skill.
- Dumpsters sit on your property for seven to 10 days: Having the dumpster on your property is a pain. It not only takes up valuable parking space but also attracts other people to throw their garbage in the dumpster. Some localities require permits to store the dumpster on the street. A dumpster can also damage your lawn or driveway due to the weight of the load as you fill it up.
- All items go to the landfill: Once your dumpster is collected, everything inside of it is disposed of in a landfill. There is no opportunity for recycling or donation of items in decent condition. College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving donates or recycles up to 70% of the items it takes.
Why Would You Get a Dumpster?
