Common Dumpster Rental Mistakes
❌
Ordering too small to "save money"
A second haul costs $200-400. Getting a slightly larger dumpster upfront is usually $50-100 more.
❌
Ignoring weight limits for heavy materials
Concrete, dirt, and roofing have strict weight limits. A 20 yard full of concrete can weigh 20 tons—way over the 4 ton limit.
❌
Not comparing multiple companies
Prices vary by $100-200+ between companies in the same area. Always get at least 2-3 quotes.
