Question 1

How do I know which dumpster size I need for my project?

Accepted Answer

To determine which dumpster size you need for your project, you should consider the amount and type of trash or garbage you expect to generate. Here are some steps you can follow to help you determine the right dumpster size for your project:

‍

Estimate the amount of trash you will generate: Think about the scope of your project and the amount of debris or garbage you expect to generate. This will give you an idea of how much space you will need to dispose of your trash.

‍

Consider the type of trash you will be disposing of: Different types of trash may require different types of dumpsters. For example, if you are disposing of heavy materials like concrete or dirt, you may need a dumpster with a higher weight capacity.

‍

Choose an appropriate dumpster size: Based on your estimation of trash, you can select an appropriate dumpster size. Dumpster sizes typically range from 1 cubic yard to 4 cubic yards, with smaller dumpsters being suitable for smaller projects, and larger dumpsters being suitable for larger projects. You can refer to my previous answer for general guidelines on selecting the right size of dumpster.

‍

Check for any restrictions: Check with your local government to see if there are any restrictions on the size or type of trash can, garbage can or dumpster that can be used in your area.

‍

By considering the amount and type of trash or garbage you will generate, and choosing an appropriate dumpster size, you can ensure that you have enough space to dispose of your waste safely and efficiently.

Question 3

What can you put in a residential or commercial dumpster?

Accepted Answer

The items that can be put in a residential or commercial dumpster may vary depending on the specific dumpster rental company and local regulations. However, in general, the following items are typically allowed in dumpsters:

‍

Household or commercial waste, such as paper, cardboard, plastics, and textiles
Construction and demolition debris, including concrete, brick, wood, and roofing materials
Yard waste, such as grass, leaves, and branches
Appliances, such as refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines (in some cases, an additional fee may be required)
Furniture, such as couches, chairs, and mattresses

‍

It is important to note that certain items may not be allowed in residential or commercial dumpsters. This can include hazardous materials such as chemicals, batteries, and medical waste. Additionally, local regulations may prohibit certain items from being disposed of in roll off bins, so it is important to check with Waste Connections or local authorities before putting any questionable items in the dumpster.
