Junk Removal and Dumpster Rentals: Which One Should You Choose?
Find out how much dumpster rentals and junk removal services cost. What are the pros and cons of each service?
Big clean up and renovation projects often result in the same question from homeowners:
Should I get a dumpster or junk removal service?
Both of these services will get rid of unwanted debris, but they each work differently. Knowing how they each work can help you determine how best to go about your project.
What does a dumpster rental service consist of?
When you decide to get a dumpster, a roll-off container is sent to your property. You can fill the container as you want, and whenever you are done, a representative from the company will come to take it away.
This type of rental is good for:
-
Home remodeling
-
Roofing jobs
-
Large estate cleanouts
-
Construction debris
-
Big garage cleanups
Since you control how the clean up is done, a lot of the time, dumpster rentals are the most economical solution for bigger projects.
What services are included in a junk removal service?
With a junk removal service, a team is sent to your property and takes out the junk for you.
If you want to know the difference between full-service hauling and container rental, look at our junk removal services in Salt Lake City.
This option can be useful for:
- Small clean-outs
- Disposing of a single item
- Circumstances when heavy lifting is not an option
Remember, junk removal services usually charge by space occupied and amount of work performed, which can be much more costly for larger jobs.
Cost
Generally speaking:
- Large jobs → dumpster rental less expensive
- Small jobs → junk removal more expensive + adds labor
Take, for instance, a full garage cleanout → hiring a junk removal crew will likely be a lot more expensive than renting a 20 yard dumpster.
Your timeline with dumpster rental
With a dumpster rental, you work on your own timeline.
You can take your time and load the dumpster day by day instead of being forced to do everything at once. With junk removal, you have to do everything before the crew arrives.
Where will your project fit best?
Use dumpster rentals for:
-
Debris from a renovation
-
Roofing jobs
-
Construction
-
Estate cleanouts
-
Big cleanouts from homes
Junk removal might work better for:
-
Just a couple of big items
-
When you need help from laborers
