Dumpsters are heavy-duty open metal box containers that can be rented for filling with non-hazardous general waste. They are comfortable to use since the rental service includes delivery to your home, and also the collection when you have filled it with waste. The waste is then sorted and recycled where possible as part of this rental and disposal service.

Containers are available to rent in several different sizes. The smallest containers are about the size of a small car between 2 and 4 cubic yards/meters, the general mid range is the size of an average car at 6 to 8 cubic yards/meters, and the largest are the size of a panel. transit van between 10-12 cubic yards/meters. The smaller sizes are ideal for yard waste and where container storage is limited. Mid-range bins are more common for general home renovation and construction work, but require at least a car-sized area to situate while filling. Remember that you also need more space for safe access to dump the waste into it, and you need to make sure that the dump truck can deliver and pick up the container without causing damage! Larger bins are typically bins with higher side walls allowing for the storage of bulkier waste, but this will generally require ramped access to allow for more effective working space. Certain container rental companies, upon request, can provide swing doors to help cart debris get into them, but make sure they are operated safely and the doors are properly secured.

If you cannot safely place the container on your property without causing an obstruction to the general public and your neighbors, it may be possible to place it on the nearby road. However, for the safety of road users and the passing public, the location of where and how the container can be placed will first need to be assessed by your local authority and container hire company. The request for this assessment must be made prior to ordering the container so that permission to use the allocated space for the container is available at the time of delivery. Issues that may constrain placement will depend on street width, high parking demand, and proximity to street crossings and crosswalks. The local authority may charge for this permit and possibly charge an additional fee if the stall is part of a marked parking area within a controlled resident parking area. Additionally, if you place the container on a grass edge along the pavement, you will be responsible for limiting and repairing any damage to this area caused as part of the arrangements. It is strongly recommended that you seek guidance from the container rental company when ordering your container as to where it can be placed safely, and whether they can advise or obtain permission on your behalf when it is placed on the road.

All companies involved in the transport of waste must be registered with the Environment Agency. A reputable container rental company that understands your obligation to transport, transfer and safely dispose of waste will be registered. The waste producer is responsible for its safe disposal, so any hazardous waste should not be thrown into the container. Elements such as tires, electrical equipment, freezers and refrigerators, plasterboard, elements that can explode or accumulate gases, any container that is used or contains dangerous liquids such as oil, batteries and poisonous or combustible liquids, etc. These items must be disposed of separately and responsibly, and any possible contaminants must be reported to the container rental company. The filling of the container must always be carried out in a safe and considerate manner, without disturbing noise or excessive dust. It is better to order a slightly larger container and then fill it beyond its level or weight limit, as the container company may refuse to pick up the container if they are unable to safely load the full container and transport your waste to disposal. elimination.

Container rental prices vary by country and depend on the contracting company, the size of the container and the type of waste with which it will be filled. In general, you should expect to pay from £100 for the smallest containers, around £180 for the mid-range ones, and close to £260 for the larger size types (prices include VAT). Often the container rental payment is made in advance to the contracting company when placing the order or at the time of delivery of the container. When it has filled up you arrange your pickup with the same rental company, usually up to 2 weeks rental is allowed, but the rental period must be agreed upon when ordering. Once requested, all reliable tipper companies will arrange collection within the next 48 hours. As a result, the container rental company seems to make money when it delivers the empty container instead of picking it up when it is full of waste. But as a customer, you’ll want the reliability of working together with a container rental company that will deliver and pick up when it’s convenient for you. A local rental company will best suit your needs as they will understand the restrictions on container placement and permit requirements within your local authority area. In addition, the rental price should be the cheapest if it is efficient in reducing transportation and transportation costs, and the company should be reliable as it is more interested in maintaining and developing local customer satisfaction.

There are several national container rental companies that seem to find you the cheapest local supplier. But are they really the cheapest? Or are they just middlemen who inflate the cost of making the arrangements between the client and the container rental company?

Alternatively, and possibly avoiding the need to contact multiple local container rental companies directly and repeating your needs back to each, it would be economical to have customer-focused companies marketing your needs rather than just fulfilling them. The container rental market is very competitive, but the customer should be rewarded for being local, disposing of waste responsibly, and arranging for recycling by a reputable company.
