Small Dumpster Rentals

Do you have a small project that requires the disposal of trash and debris? If so, small dumpster rentals from Taconic Carting & Hauling are what you or your business needs to get the job done. Cleanup is an important part of many kinds of projects, whether you are simply cleaning out the garage or renovating an entire building. Taconic Carting & Hauling in Putnam County wants to help, which also means answering any questions you might have about small dumpster rentals.

How Big Are Small Dumpsters?

The size of small dumpsters is typically no less than 10 cubic yards, which amounts to about five pickup truck loads. Most 10 cubic yard containers are only 12 feet long x 8 feet wide x 3.5 feet high. Therefore, using a small dumpster can save you money on gas and prevent wear and tear on your own vehicle. This is also perfect if you have a small yard with a limit on space for a dumpster. In addition, if you need a larger dumpster for your project, we offer sizes up to 40 cubic yards. Our containers can also feature a door on the side so you easily access it.

Will A Small Dumpster Be An Eyesore?

If you worry that a small dumpster will be an eyesore on your property, you should know that our team will place the container exactly where you want it with minimal impact on the environment and your space. The visual impact is also low because we only offer clean dumpsters to our clients.

What Can I Put In A Small Dumpster?

Again, small dumpsters are versatile. You can throw away a variety of things. The only limit would really be the size if what you want to dispose of is longer than 12 feet or wider than 8 feet. For example, some of the things you can put in a dumpster include:

• Garbage
• Furniture
• Yard waste
• Drywall
• Wood
• Siding
• Bricks
• Stone
• Concrete
• Dirt
• Old clothing
• Shingles
• Electronics
• Appliances

The list could go on, but you get the idea.

What Can I NOT Put In The Dumpster?

Aside from potential size limitations, there are some items that you should never put in the dumpster.

• Batteries
• Tires
• Paint
• Stain
• Flammable materials
• Toxic materials
• Appliances that still contain Freon such as refrigerators and air conditioning units

If you are not sure about something you want to throw away in the dumpster, please do not hesitate to ask. We will even tell you how you can dispose of something properly if it cannot be put in the dumpster.

What Is The Best Way To Load A Dumpster?

The best way to load a dumpster is as evenly as possible so you can fit the most debris and junk in it. Try not to overload the dumpster. Debris and trash should not be hanging over the sides or stick out over the top as this creates a dangerous situation for the hauler. As long as you are renting the dumpster, you should be able to dispose of everything you need to dispose of without overloading.

Do I Need A Permit To Rent A Small Dumpster?

No, you do not need a permit to rent a small dumpster that will be placed on your property. However, you may need one if the dumpster is being dropped off on the street or another public place.

When Will My Dumpster Be Delivered And Do I Need To Be There?

This is an excellent question. We will deliver your dumpster during normal operating hours but the timing could vary depending on schedules and availability. Rest assured that we will deliver the dumpster as soon as possible. And you don’t have to be at the location when we deliver it. Just make sure we can access the spot where you want it.

Cost of Small Dumpster Rentals

Often there are hidden costs associated with dumpster rentals. There are few different factors that can affect rental costs, one of which is size. Further local disposal and permit fees are a few more. If your dumpster rental includes a weight limit then your container provider may charge you an overage fee or an additional surcharge. These can cost another $60-$100 or more.

Speak with your container provider about any additional fees that they may assess. Including fees that may accrue because of exceeding the weight limit. Further fees a container company may charge include charges for more rental days or if there are any fees associated with certain debris that may be prohibited or require additional handling.

Taconic Carting & Hauling in Putnam County offers personalized service at a fair price.  We guarantee no hidden fees. We provide an upfront estimate and offer affordable weekly rates. If for any reason you need a couple of extra days for your project, Taconic offers up to 10 days rental at the same weekly rate. It’s a commitment we made to our customers and we are sticking to it. We also offer free quotes. Simply explain your project, the kind of weight you are disposing of, and the length of your project for a more accurate quote.
