Like many things that seem almost too good to be true, there are myths surrounding renting dumpsters for your disposal needs. Perhaps you are moving into a new home, undergoing renovations or simply have a lot of clutter and junk to clear out. Whatever the case may be, the idea of renting a roll off garbage bin or dumpster in Toronto may have crossed your mind once or twice.
So, what’s stopping you from doing just that? Is it the preconceived idea that rental costs will be astronomical and the whole thing will be a huge hassle? If you are on the fence about renting a dumpster but yet may be in need of one, you’ve come to the right place. Read below to find out why some of the most common myths regarding dumpster rental are untrue and what you can do instead.
While price and your budget will always be factors to consider, you should remember that you will have to pay the price for waste disposal one way or another. Whether that’s in multiple trips to the landfill to break down all your garbage or in a one-stop solution like a dumpster, the choice is yours.
In fact, renting a dumpster can work out to save you both time and money when you do it the right way. With a dumpster, garbage can be filled directly into the bin and then hauled away without the need to spend money on garbage bags, gas for multiple trips to the landfill and a vehicle for hauling if you don’t have a truck available.
Keep in mind that at Scarborough Disposal, we can often provide same-day service at no additional cost within the Toronto area, saving you time, money and effort.
There is a common myth around dumpster rentals that the process itself is inconvenient and involves jumping through many hoops. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. In fact, renting a dumpster is usually as easy as filling out an online form or speaking to a representative over the phone who can walk you through the entire process in just a few minutes.
It’s important to communicate with your garbage disposal company about what materials you are throwing away and what size of dumpster you need so that you don’t end up paying any additional fees. Usually, the disposal company will deliver the dumpster to your home and pick it up as requested, once it is full.
One major myth about dumpsters is that the size is irrelevant. In truth, size is one of the most important factors about your dumpster rental and you should try your best to choose the right one. If you’re unsure about what size you need, you always have the option to consult with a representative who can help you determine the right size dumpster for you.
From 4-yard bins to 40-yard bins, they come in a range of sizes so that you can choose whichever best suits your needs. If you choose a size that is too big, you can end up paying too much for space you don’t need, whereas if you choose a size that is too small, your dumpster can easily become overfilled.
In order to avoid paying extra fees, it’s wise to consider your measurements and garbage needs beforehand so that you can make an accurate decision regarding the size of your bin.
Once again, this is another myth that many people believe when it comes to dumpster rentals. Simply put, there are certain items that you cannot throw inside your dumpster for safety reasons. These items include hazardous materials such as batteries, paints, toxic chemicals and items that are flammable. These items will have to be disposed of properly and according to local guidelines.
If you are planning to dispose of these types of materials, be sure to let your disposal company know as they may be able to offer some guidance or they may have alternate disposal options available. Just be sure you know what you can and cannot throw into your bin beforehand so that you can remain safe, compliant and environmentally friendly in your disposal choices.
Many people are under the impression that only corporations, companies and groups can rent dumpsters and that this option is not available to the general public. While dumpsters are commonplace for commercial and business projects, they are also used very often by individuals who are completing projects at home, doing renovations or just in need of immediate garbage disposal solutions. Individuals can rent dumpsters just as easily as corporations and services are available to the public at any time.
