There are many situations when
what we need to get rid of will not fit in our trash bins. We accumulate ‘stuff’
throughout the years that can fill closets, attics, and the garage. We use ‘stuff’
until it cannot be used anymore and is just taking up space. We also improve
our home by investing in remodeling and repairs. All of these situations result
in debris that needs to be disposed. There are a couple of options to consider
for quick disposal, dumpster rental or removal service. Let’s discuss both
services and which best meets your needs for your project!
Cost of Dumpster Rental Vs. Removal Service
Everyone likes a good deal!
Knowing there are options for getting rid of trash will have people comparing
the price of each service. A lesser quote will be attractive, but it is
important that the total be compared instead. A dumpster rental service will
quote a price for the rental, delivery, pick up, tax, and disposal fees. When
inquiring a quote for a removal service, make sure to have removal service
visit and quote the price BEFORE doing the work. Most removal services
calculate a price by how many employees they use to do the job, their hourly
rate, and how many loads will need to be disposed. How many loads will depend
on how smart they pack the items. Because of this, a price given on a website
or quoted over the phone should be backed up by an in-person quote.
Time of Service
Both dumpster rental and a removal
service will have the debris moved quickly. If you have not collected the items
to be removed and moved them to a central location, you will have to be
available to direct a removal service to each item. This time will add up with
hourly rates. Our dumpster rental includes 10 days to collect those items onyour schedule and at your pace.
Deciding By Project
The best deciding factor may be
the type of job, or what needs to be removed. If you have one appliance that
cannot be repaired, a removal service could be the best option with price. Junk removal services may be best with the single, large items such as the removal of hot tubs or pianos. When there are many items from cleaning out storage areas, or
debris from remodeling, a dumpster rental will be more cost effective.
Liability
After evaluating the type of
job and comparing cost of each service, liability must be considered. Because
the debris is on your property, ask for the removal service to provide current
insurance that fully covers their employees.
If you have the type of project
that will benefit with the convenience of a dumpster roll-off rental, insist
that the dumpster rollers and front be placed on protective boards, preventing
any scratching on a driveway.
Both removal service and
dumpster rental are options when you are unable to fit in your weekly trash or
do not have a vehicle to haul. Your best option can be decided with a little
preparation in comparing those options. When comparing, give us a call. We have
5 different sizes of dumpsters and we will help you find the perfect size for
your project.
