How to reduce costs when renting a 20 Yard roll-off container: Like other purchases, educated consumers get the best price. That’s also true when it comes to 20 yard dumpster rentals. To assist, consider these to educate yourself when shopping for the best dumpster rental prices:

You can avoid additional charges by keeping heavy debris at a minimum and staying within the allowed tonnage the 20 yard dumpster offers. Proper scheduling will also keep costs down by calling to have the dumpster removed before or on the scheduled date.

How long is a typical 20-Yard dumpster rental period?: A 7 to 10-day rental period is pretty standard, although this can vary by dumpster rental company. Most companies will charge a fee for each day you have the container over the allowed time limit. So, be sure to ask how long you have the dumpster for.

Sometimes, you just need the dumpster longer than expected. Most companies will allow you to keep the container longer by paying a “late fee,” which typically ranges from $25 to $50 per day. There may be a maximum number of days allowed as well. You can always have the dumpster picked up early to be on the safe side. Simply, give us a call and schedule the Early Pickup.

Due to the varying container dimensions, bulky or irregularly shaped items may consume quite a bit of volume in the container. It’s best you discuss this with your dumpster rental provider.
