St. Louis Roll-Off Rentals: Do I Need a Small Dumpster or a Large Dumpster?

The choice between small dumpster rentals and large dumpster rentals isn’t always easy. It depends on the project you’re taking on and the materials you plan to toss out. Anytime you need a St. Louis dumpster rental, you’ll want to make sure you have the right size. Let’s go through some common waste removal projects and whether you should use a large or small dumpster rental.

Small Dumpster vs. Large Dumpster for Your St. Louis Junk Removal Project

Home Decluttering

When you want to declutter your home, clear out the garage, toss out trash from the attic, or deal with a basement clean-out, you might need a small dumpster rental or a large dumpster rental. For most home decluttering projects, you will use one of the small dumpsters: 10-yard, 15-yard, or 20-yard dumpster. However, a larger home might require a large dumpster: 30-yard or 40-yard.

Roofing Projects

Shingles tend to be heavy and materials you toss out from a roofing project will likely require a small dumpster rental. Large dumpsters are not used for roofing projects. You will likely use a 10-yard dumpster, 15-yard dumpster, or 20-yard dumpster for roofing projects.

Concrete Removal

Small dumpster rentals offer the right choice for concrete removal. Dumpsters for concrete have to be small because of the weight limit for transporting this very heavy material. You can fill a 10-yard dumpster to the top lip or use a 15-yard dumpster and fill it about halfway when disposing of the concrete.

Demolition Projects

Whether you’re taking down a shed, barn, house, or any other building, you will likely need a large dumpster rental. In some cases, a 30-yard dumpster will be enough room, but larger projects may require a 40-yard dumpster.

Condominium Building

Taking on a new condominium building project will require the right large dumpster rental in St. Louis. Usually, you will use a 40-yard dumpster and have it swapped out multiple times for this type of project.

Office Renovations

Another project that matches well with large dumpster rentals is office renovations. When you plan on making your office eco-friendly or you need to renovate for a new tenant, a large dumpster rental will be the right option.

Landscaping

Typically, a small dumpster rental is plenty of space for a landscaping project. If you plan to dispose of dirt, you will need a small dumpster because of its heavy weight.

Tree Disposal

Maybe you’re cleaning up after severe weather or you just have a tree you need to remove. You will need to follow the dumpster rental restrictions, but you can toss out tree waste with a small dumpster rental.

Furniture Disposal

Tossing out furniture can be much easier with the right dumpster rental. A small dumpster rental will work great for most furniture disposal projects. However, if it’s a large amount of furniture, you can use a large dumpster rental for this type of junk removal project.

Home Additions

A single-home addition will require a 30-yard dumpster rental, while multiple-home additions will likely require a 40-yard dumpster rental. Regardless, this type of project will require a large dumpster rental. Whether you need a small roll-off dumpster or a large roll-off dumpster, Waste Removal USA has you covered.
