Whether you’re completing a home improvement project or cleaning out your house, you may want to rent a large garbage container to make the process easier. The receptacle will facilitate your waste removal, and there are many models to choose from. Here's more information about roll off containers and dumpsters to help you decide which of these popular options you need.

A Guide to Dumpsters & Roll Off Containers

Dumpsters

Dumpsters stay in one place and are typically used when there are many people in one area, like a business building or apartment complex. Standard dumpsters have lids and are smaller than roll off containers, as they’re made for everyday use instead of large cleanup projects.

Roll Off Containers

Although roll off containers are sometimes referred to as roll off dumpsters, they aren't the same. These models offer more space than standard dumpsters and are rectangular instead of cubic, so they come in a wider range of sizes. A 20-yard roll off container accommodates about 10 pickup trucks' worth of debris, and this size is usually ideal for residential clean out projects. On the other hand, home construction typically requires a 30- or 40-foot roll off container.  Small clean-up jobs may only require a 12-yard container.

When to Rent a Garbage Container

If your project requires you to hold a lot of rubbish temporarily, get a roll off container. Common situations include demolition, estate cleaning, remodeling, and construction projects. A roll off container is big enough so that you can load the container with debris without the worry of taking it to the landfill.
