The location where you plan to place your container will affect your price as well. For example, if you need a container delivered to an apartment complex or condo building, then there may be additional fees associated with this service. Likewise, if you need the container dropped off at an industrial location or near any type of construction site, then there may be additional costs associated with this service as well.

The size of your dumpster can also affect the price. The larger dumpsters tend to be more expensive, but you may find that you need more room for all of your waste than a smaller unit would offer. The size of the container is a major factor in determining its cost. Typically, you will have to pay more for larger containers than for smaller ones. The 40 cubic yard dumpster price is higher than all other sizes but is less expensive than renting two separate 20 cubic yard units. If space allows, it’s often better to go with one large unit than two smaller ones because it takes less time and effort to fill up one large Dumpster rather than two small ones.

When you rent a dumpster, you need to tell the company what type of debris you will be putting in the container. If you don't specify, they may charge you more than necessary for an improper type of debris. For example, if you want to rent a dumpster for yard waste and then put construction debris in it, it will cost more due to the additional weight of the heavier debris. Depending on what you’re throwing away, you may have to rent a different size dumpster. For example, if you’re cleaning out your basement, a 10 yard dumpster will be more than enough room for all of your items. However, if you are remodeling your kitchen and need to get rid of old appliances, floors and cabinets, then a 20 yard dumpster needs to be rented in order to accommodate all of the bulky debris.

The cost of renting a roll-off container may change based on the Debris Weight, which is how much weight your dumpster can hold. The price will go up the more weight there is. If you just want to get rid of leaves or grass clippings, you won't have to pay too much. But if you have a lot of heavy things to throw away, like bricks or concrete, you'll have to pay more.

The length of time you need a dumpster for will have a major impact on how much you pay. In general, the longer the rental period, the more expensive it will be. For example, if you need to rent a dumpster for three days, it will cost more than renting one for two days. Similarly, if you need to store your dumpster for an extended period of time, such as until after a remodel project is complete, this will also increase your bill because there is no guarantee that another customer won't rent the same container before yours expires.
