3 Things To Think About When Renting A Dumpster

If you are cleaning out your house, you need to have a place to dispose of all the stuff that's coming out of your house. One thing you can do is to rent a dumpster. If you are going to rent a dumpster, there are things that you are going to need to think about before you make the final decision. 

Permitting

One thing you need to think about is whether or not you are going to need to have a permit for it. Some cities and towns require that you have a permit to have a dumpster if it is over a certain size and if you are going to have it longer than a certain amount of time. Finding out if you need a permit is pretty easy. All you need to do is call your city offices or visit their website. You should be able to get the information pretty easily. You may even be able to request a permit online and have it mailed or emailed to you so that you can print it out. 

Location

Another thing that you have to think about is where you are going to put it. You need to make sure that wherever you put it, you aren't obstructing the road and you aren't blocking anyone from getting in and out of their driveway. If you live on a narrow street, you may have to put the dumpster someplace else, like in your driveway or yard, so that you aren't causing a traffic hazard. If you decide to have it placed in your yard, then you are going to need to make sure that the truck that is going to deliver and pick up the dumpster is going to be able to get in and out of the yard without causing too much collateral damage. 

Size

You are also going to need to think about what size dumpster you are going to need. One thing to do is to consider how many pickup truck loads you think that you will need in order to haul everything away. When you think you know how many you would need, you can call the dumpster rental company and tell them that number. They will tell you what size dumpster you will need. 

If you have a lot of stuff to clean out, you will probably need a dumpster to handle all the stuff coming out of your house.
