If you are cleaning out your home, doing some landscaping, planning a remodel, starting a construction project, or performing storm damage recovery, you will likely find yourself in need of a dumpster rental service.
Renting a dumpster will give you an easy way to dispose of all of the debris that will need to be removed in these situations. In this cost guide, we examine the average costs of renting a dumpster, which typically depend on dumpster size, types of debris, and length of time.
How much does it cost to rent a dumpster for a day?
Periods range from per-day, per-week, and per-month. Some companies also provide 10-day rental periods. Per-day periods are for short-term needs. Standard dumpster rental prices start around $25 for a one-day rental of a smaller dumpster, and go up to $310 for a large dumpster on average.
Prices per week can range between $120-$620 depending on the size of the dumpster. For one month, expect to pay $480 for smaller dumpsters, and as much as $2000 for large dumpsters. Companies may provide discounts for month-long rental periods.
Is there a cheaper cost to rent a dumpster for only a day?
Generally, no. Whether you need a temporary dumpster for one day, three days, or seven days typically doesn't impact the price of the rental. A majority of dumpster rental services automatically include a standard rental length of "up to a week" at the same cost.
Extra costs
In order to accommodate more of your range of needs, we offer some extra services. For your convenience and peace of mind, you can extend your dumpster rental period, and we can get you a Chicago city permit for placing your dumpster on public land.
Even if your project turned out to be heavier than you first thought and the overall debris weight exceeds the weight limit of your rental container, we can haul it away without you having to worry about it.
Can I get a price reduction?
Some companies that offer dumpster rental near me may negotiate a slightly lower rate for a very short rental period, like one to three days, especially during very busy times.
If a company is experiencing a high volume of business and their inventory is low, they may be more motivated to provide a discounted price for a fast return of the dumpster.
