How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Indianapolis?
When the time comes to rent a dumpster many residential customers have never done this before. Renting a dumpster is like entering
unchartered waters. Not only do they not
know what size dumpster would work best for their project they often do not
know how much a dumpster will cost to take care of their particular need.
Lets take a look at several
variables that go into dumpster pricing.
We will discuss three key factors that determine pricing in your local
area.

| 20-Yard Dumpster |
The first variable for
dumpster pricing depends on the size dumpster needed. For example do you need a 10-yard for a small
remodeling project like a bathroom or small kitchen rehab or do you need a
20-yard dumpster for a large demolition project. Most often you will see the smaller dumpsters
renting for a cheaper price in the $250 plus dollar range than say the larger
ones, which are $300 and up.
Second dumpster pricing is
based on the cost to dispose of the product.
Depending on the city and state, local dump fees have a large factor in
determining the cost of a dumpster rental.
A ton of waste can cost anywhere from $25 a ton to $105 a ton depending
on the geographic area.
The third and final variable
to know how much a dumpster rental will cost are the items being disposed
of. For example will there be heavier
items like brick, concrete plaster and dirt or will the items being disposed of
be lighter in weight such as old furniture, drywall and carpet. The heavier the items being disposed of the
more one can expect to pay for a dumpster.
In addition please note some
companies will charge extra for things such as tires, mattresses, electronics
and “white” appliances. Fees for these
items range from $10 on up depending on the particular item and amount of
them. Not only is it a good idea to take
inventory of the items your disposing of but to also ask if your dumpster
rental company charges extra and how much for items such as these.
To recap our points above
there are several factors that go into determining the final price of a
dumpster rental. Most areas of the
country will see dumpsters start in the $250 range plus any applicable taxes
and go up from there.
It is important to ask lots
of questions when ordering a dumpster so as to not be blind-sided by hidden
fees.
We recommend doing your
homework and fully understand the scope of your project to get the appropriate
size dumpster at the best value for your needs.
