Have you finally decided to clean out your basement or attic? Are doing a yard clean-up? Perhaps you’re emptying out the contents of your garage or you’re moving and you want to get rid of the stuff you don’t want to take to your new abode? Maybe you’re going to be renovating your kitchen or bathroom? Whatever the case may be, if a project is in your future that will involve the creation of a lot of debris, you need to make arrangements to get rid of that waste. What’s the best option? Renting a roll-off dumpster, of course!
But renting a dumpster can be pricy, and if you don’t have the cash on hand, you might be wondering if you can get one on credit. Read on to find out!
Before we discuss if you can rent a roll-off dumpster on credit, it’s first important to explain what a roll-off dumpster is. Like any type of dumpster, a roll-off is a large container that is designed to hold waste material. There are some distinct differences between a roll-off and a standard dumpster, however. Some of the key features that distinguish the former from the latter include the following:
As mentioned above, roll-off dumpsters are usually used to collect specific types of waste. Often, this includes debris from construction projects, home improvement projects, landscaping projects, and more. While you could potentially try putting these types of materials in a standard dumpster that you’d find at your apartment complex, down the street, or in the parking lot of a shopping center, you could be subjected to public dumping fines. When you rent a roll-off dumpster, however, you can discard pretty much anything; of course, within reason. Make sure to speak to the company that you are renting the dumpster from to find out exactly what you can put in the bin. A lot of providers have rules regarding the types of debris they’ll accept; for instance, things like paints and varnishes may be prohibited, and certain materials may need to be separated – grass clippings may not be able to be mixed with gravel, for example. The company you rent the roll-off bin from will tell you exactly what you can place in the bins and if there are any exceptions.
Now that you know what a roll-off dumpster is, let’s take a look at some key factors that you should take into consideration before you rent one. As mentioned, these bins are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, so you want to be sure that you choose the right one to meet your needs. By taking the following factors into consideration, you’ll be able to do just that.
First and foremost, you’re going to want to consider the size of the dumpster. While you want to have enough space to accommodate everything you need to dispose of, you don’t want it to be overly large, otherwise, you’ll end up paying for something you don’t need. With that said, if you aren’t sure what size you need, let the company you’re renting from know what you’re getting rid of, including approximately the amount, and they’ll be able to recommend the appropriate bin size.
Next, you’re going to want to consider the period of time that you will need to rent the roll-off dumpster. If you’re doing a yard cleanup over the weekend, for example, you’ll only need a short-term rental; however, if you’re renovating your house – you’re remodeling the kitchen and/or bathroom, for example – you may need a long-term rental. Again, if you aren’t sure how long you will need the bin for, let the company know and they’ll help you determine the length of time.
So, can you rent a roll-off bin on credit? Well, it depends on the company that you’re renting it from. You can with LDR Site Services and a simple 2-3 day credit approval process. Not all companies offer credit as an option; however, there are many that do, including us! If you don’t have the means to pay for the rental up-front and in cash, or you just don’t want to for whatever reason, do your research and there’s no doubt that you’ll be able to find a reputable dumpster rental company that allows rentals for credit.
