Prior to renting a dumpster, you should take the time to look around and obtain a variety of quotes for local and national vendors in order to locate the lowest price. In this article, we will walk you through the ins and out of finding a cheap garbage dumpster rental.

Step 1 - Determine what size unit you will need. Most units will be rented out by yard size. If you have a smaller project, a 10-yard unit will probably do the trick. For larger projects, you may need a 40 or 50 yard unit. Take a look at your options and compare them with the project ahead of you to figure out which size will work best for you!

Step 2 - Figure out the amount of time you will need the unit. The rental company will request collection and drop-off dates when you make your reservation. This will help the company to determine your rental rate.

Step 3 – Inquire as to how much will be charged for the weight of the materials that will be taken away once you are through using the unit. If you happen to go over the designated weight amount permitted by the rental service, you are likely looking at a surcharge on the bill. Many services will impose a flat fee for each ton of material that exceeds the allotted limit.

Step 4 – Locate services that offer units in your area to begin obtaining price quotes. Take a look at online rental websites to gather a few estimates. If you know of anyone who has used a similar service before, get in touch with them to find out what they paid, along with their overall experience with the company. Keep in mind that cheaper is not always better, overall. If the company you choose offers a stellar rate but awful service, you may end up wishing you had dug a little further into that wallet.

Step 5 – Compare and contrast the prices of the services you locate. Services that deal exclusively in dumpster rentals will generally offer lower prices than a company who offers a broader number of services.

Step 6 – Cut out the middle-man and book through the rental company directly. Some online services may impose a fee to complete the transaction. Go the extra mile by finding the service’s contact information online and calling them directly.

Step 7- Once you have a few quotes, call your top two favorites and see if they are willing to price-match. Many company’s are more than happy to beat out their competitors and may even provide you with a lower price to seal the deal.

Step 8 – Consider sharing a unit if you have a neighbor in need of a dumpster during the same time period.
