ROLL OFF DUMPSTER RENTAL OF DENVER

How much does it cost to rent a dumpster?

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.

 

Most dumpster rental companies set their prices based not only on the size of the dumpster you choose and the length of the rental period, but also the current cost of fuel and the distance from their location to yours. You will need to contact companies to receive firm price quotes.

 

Rental period

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. Prices start around $25 for a one-day rental of a smaller dumpster, and go up to $300 for a large dumpster. 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.

 

Flate rate vs variable rate

Choosing flat rate rental terms can make it easier to predict what your final costs will be. Flat rate terms usually allow for you to dispose of a greater amount of debris than you could with variable rate terms, without incurring added fees. This doesn’t mean that variable rates are more expensive, just less predictable.

 

Size

The size of dumpster you should choose depends on what you need it for, the type of debris you’re disposing, and the amount of debris. Dumpsters are typically rented for disposing of household junk, furniture, landscaping debris, and renovation/construction debris.

 

Size Best For Average Weight Capacity Cost Per Week

4-8 yards Small home cleanout jobs 500 lbs.-3000 lbs. $120-$300

10 yards Small home cleanout jobs 5000 lbs. $330

15 yards Medium/large home cleanout jobs 7000 lbs. $390

20 yards Medium/large home cleanout jobs 20,000 lbs. $400-$500

30 yards Commercial cleanout jobs 20,000 lbs. $430-$520

40 yards Commercial cleanout jobs 20,000 lbs. $500-$620

 

 

Enhancement and improvement costs

Heavy debris

If you are disposing of a large amount of brick, concrete, or other heavy materials, you may need to rent a special dumpster designed for heavier loads. A 30-yard dumpster built to hold 20,000 lbs. of heavy debris costs an average of $400 to rent.

 

Extra days

Most dumpster rental services will accommodate you if you need to use the dumpster for longer than you planned. Fees start around $10-$15 per extra day after the end of your contracted rental period.

 

Additional considerations and costs

Restrictions

Weight limits are set for most dumpsters, and especially those holding certain types of debris (like concrete). If you exceed the weight limit, the dumpster may not be able to be hauled away, and you may have to pay a fine. There are usually restrictions on what types of debris can be thrown into dumpsters. Disposal of banned items like tires, paint cans, refrigerants, batteries, hazardous materials, and other specific items restricted by your dumpster provider will result in fines. Fines for restriction violations can run as high as $500.

 

Hazardous materials

Most dumpster rental services ban the disposal of hazardous materials like asbestos 1, pesticide, propane 2 tanks, refrigerants, etc. If you need to get rid of these materials, do not throw them in your rented dumpster. If you do, you will be fined (as much as $500) and the materials will be returned to you. You will need to call your local Waste Management department to arrange for safe disposal.

 

Landfill fees

Many dumpster rental services include landfill fees in their rental prices, but some don’t. If they aren’t included, you’ll receive a separate bill for the landfill fees after the company has hauled the dumpster away. Average landfill fees range from $20-$50 per ton.

 

Bagster®

These sturdy bags are designed for the disposal small debris - household junk, sod, dirt, concrete, rocks, and small construction debris. Bagsters generally hold loads of up to 3300 lbs and cost $30 each to purchase. Pick-up fees are $90-$110 per bag.

 

Junk removal service

This is an alternative to dumpster rental services. Junk removal services will pick up and remove debris from your location, charging $100 for small loads, up to $500 or more for large loads.

 

Permits

Placing your rented dumpster on a public street will usually require a permit, which costs an average of $40-$75 per dumpster, per week. Your permit fee may vary depending on what state, city, and/or county you are renting the dumpster in.

 

Remote delivery locations

If a dumpster rental service has to drive very far to deliver your dumpster, they may charge you an additional fee per mile to cover the cost of fuel. These fees are dependent on current gas prices.

WASTE & RECYCLING  

.

Food is the fuel that keeps our bodies running.

But our cars?

For some, the idea isn’t so farfetched.

In fact, food, and food waste in particular, is seen as an opportunity by a growing number of corporations. An opportunity to take something that is otherwise deemed as trash and turn it into biofuel that can power vehicles.

Fiberight is one of several companies developing methods for converting food waste, plastics and other trash into fuel.

As a result, the idea of one man’s trash being another man’s treasure has taken on a new meaning.

FiberightFiberight

Last July, Fiberight got the go-ahead to construct a $69 million state-of-the-art facility that will become a waste-to-energy-plant in Hampden, Maine.

The facility, which is being constructed through 2017, will turn trash – and in some cases corn stalks and wheat straw – into biofuel while recycling other materials.

Founded in 2007, Fiberight and its team focuses on “transforming municipal solid waste and other organic feedstocks into next generation renewable biofuels with cellulosic ethanol as the core product.”

Harvest PowerHarvest Power

Where others see waste, Harvest Power sees resources.

From food scraps to yard trimmings, and even fats, oils and grease, Harvest Power’s core value is to make sure all organic materials are put to their highest and best use.

With locations in Orlando, Vancouver and all across North America, the company’s vision is to “create a more sustainable future by helping communities meet the challenges at the intersection of waste, agriculture and energy in the 21st century.”

One of the ways Harvest Power does this is with clean energy. The company produces biogas – a renewable natural gas from the anaerobic digestion of organic waste – that can be used for electricity, heat and fuel for vehicles.

Sierra EnergySierra Energy

A renewable energy company in Davis, California, Sierra Energy strives to make waste gasification globally attainable and economically feasible.

Gasification is the process of converting organic waste into carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

Sierra Energy does this with the FastOx gasifier.

The FastOx gasifier, which is derived from a steel-making blast furnace, takes nearly any form of waste and transforms it into renewable energy. The gasifier is able to process municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, medical waste, construction waste and more.

Plastic2OilPlastic2Oil

As the company name hints, Plastic2Oil converts plastic waste to ultra-clean, ultra-low Sulphur fuel.

Plastic waste is one of the biggest litter issues. Plastic bags and bottles can negatively affect lands, waterways and oceans. Some cities across the country, including San Diego, have established plastic bag bans to alleviate the problem.

The Plastic2Oil process is designed to combat the issue by providing an immediate economic benefit for industry, communities and government organizations dealing with plastic waste recycling challenges.

The advantage is that for every 8.3 pounds of plastic, approximately one gallon of fuel is extracted. Along with the process, Plastic2Oil’s conversion ratio for transforming plastic waste into fuel is 86 percent.

UrbanX Renewables GroupUrbanX

Located in Long Beach, California, UrbanX Renewables Group is a renewable energy company that manufactures clean-burning biofuel from used fryer oil from restaurants and commercial kitchens.

Bruce Melgar founded the company after developing a lifelong passion for combatting waste and environmental degradation. The California Energy Commission granted UrbanX with $5 million to develop biofuel in the state. One gallon of the company’s biofuel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 76 to 92 percent.

These five companies aren’t the only ones turning trash into fuel. Through scientific research and advances in technology, people are discovering more ways and new methods of turning plastic bottles and other forms of waste into energy. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), biodiesel production is forecast to average 102,000 barrels per day in 2017. In 2015, biodiesel production averaged 82,000 b/d and was forecast to average 99,000 in 2016.
