Renting Multiple Dumpsters

Understanding the scope and size of your project can help determine if you need multiple dumpsters for a particularly large project.



Can I Rent Multiple Dumpsters if Needed for a Larger Project?

If you’re performing a project, odds are it’s going to produce some waste. Whether it’s a large construction project or simply clearing out your garage in the spring, you might help getting rid of that large amount of waste. Rollaway dumpsters are a common solution for that problem – but some projects might be too large for even the biggest dumpster the company carries. 


Most dumpster rental companies will allow for the rental of multiple dumpsters, but it’s important to understand the best way to tackle the problem. For a large commercial project in a large area, it might be feasible for two dumpsters to rest there. If you only have your driveway, you might need to schedule multiple pickups. Understanding your project can help you prepare for how much disposal you’ll need.

Size & Type of Project


The first thing you need to do is evaluate the size and scope of the project. Bigger projects typically generate more waste, so you might need multiple dumpsters to accommodate a large volume. This might result in multiple pickups, as well. It’s important to work with the dumpster rental company to find out what will be the most convenient for your project, and for the amount of waste it generates. 


The type of waste created by the project is also important. Some dumpsters are designed for specific types of waste – such as landscaping waste or debris from construction projects. Getting a dumpster of the right size is one aspect, but you’ll also have to make sure you have the right dumpster for the specific type of waste you need to dispose of. 



Follow Local Regulations


Many communities and homeowner’s associations (HOAs) have regulations regarding waste disposal and where you can place the dumpster. Make sure to understand and follow these specific guidelines where dumpsters can be located, and what can be disposed of. You may also need to obtain permits to place dumpsters in certain areas, or on private property. 


Be sure to place the dumpsters in the correct areas according to these local regulations, but also put them where they’ll be easily accessible for the workers. Consider what type of waste you’ll need to dispose of for your project, as well as the logistics of the disposal. Come up with a plan for waste management to optimize the size and space of the dumpster. Also consider what can be recycled to minimize what goes to the landfill.



Cost & Budget


Get a good idea of how long you’ll need the dumpsters. Some rental companies will be more flexible than others, but having a clear timeframe will help you with your budget and their scheduling. When considering your budget, factor in any additional fees for permits – but also consider unexpected things like an extension of rental period or overage charges. 


Communication is the key for these large projects, and the dumpster rental company will be able to detail all of your options if that project will fill more than one dumpster.
