Save Up To 40% On Dumpster Rental in Blair County, PA With Aptera

Dumpster Size Options

You will need to start by estimating how much waste you need to dump. One trick is to measure the debris pile (length by the width by the height) and divide the total by 27; the result is the amount of waste in cubic yards. If the debris is spread out just do your best to guesstimate and then round up to make sure you have enough space in your dumpster.

• Small Dumpsters - A small dumpster rental (3 yard to 8 yard in length) provides a cost-effective way to dispose of debris from a bathroom remodel or waste accumulated weekly by a moderately sized office. They fit well in alleyways, on driveways and do not stand out as an eyesore in residential neighborhoods.
• Large Construction Roll-Off Dumpsters - For heavy duty use on construction sites in Blair County that create a lot of debris, roll-off dumpsters from 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard options get the job done. When you rent a roll off dumpster in Altoona, Hollidaysburg and Tyrone for a construction project or whole home clean out you get much more capacity and over 2 tons worth of allowable tonnage per pick up.

*Note - Roll off dumpsters are heavy even before you load them up, so be sure the area where it will be placed is level and firm. A delivery truck will also need room to maneuver and roll it off the truck frame onto the ground as the vehicle moves forward. So if you are renting a 40 yard roll off dumpster in Altoona and Hollidaysburg, leave at least an additional 40 yards for delivery.

Disclaimer: Actual amount of weight you are able to fit into dumpster in Blair County will vary based on garbage density. *very dense waste such as roof shingles, concrete, etc. can max out your allowable weight with cubic yardage to spare so be sure to ask about overage fees.

• 1 Ton Dumpster Rental (3-6 yard)
• 2 Ton Dumpster Rental (8-10 yard)
• 4 Ton Dumpster Rental (20 yard)
• 5 Ton Dumpster Rental (30 yard)
• 6 Ton Dumpster Rental (40 yard)

Making the Most Out of Your Dumpster Rental

When you rent a dumpster you are paying good money to throw away garbage. You can make the most of every dollar spent by following some easy tips:

• Secure Your Dumpster - To avoid other people dumping their waste into your dumpster you have a few options. For smaller dumpsters you can place a lock on the lid. For 20 yards or larger dumpster rentals in Altoona and Hollidaysburg you can strap a tarp across the top of the roll off each night. While not completely secure, a tarp does inhibit people from freely and quickly filling up your bin.
• Find the Right Placement - Make sure the dumpster rental is going to be sitting on flat ground and that the delivery driver will have plenty of room to maneuver. You may incur extra charges for an un-deliverable dumpster. Keep in mind that you need approximately twice as much space as the width and height of the roll-off for safe delivery.
• Safety - Keep all people and animals away from the delivery area while the dumpster is being unloaded. Dumpsters are extremely heavy and can present a crushing hazard. Ensure that friends, relatives, or employees use gloves, masks, and eye protection when handling debris.
• Use Proper Loading Techniques - Make sure the dumpster is loaded evenly to prevent tipping. You can fit in more debris if you take a little time to pitch items in a strategic manner. Randomly tossing 2 x 4's into the dumpster could leave a lot of wasted space. Carefully stacking the lumber leaves more space for other debris.
• Educate Employees - Make sure your employees know which materials are prohibited from being placed in landfills in Altoona, Hollidaysburg, Tyrone, East Freedom and Claysburg. These include tires, car batteries, asbestos, paint, or items containing refrigerants. It is never okay to put radioactive or hazardous materials into a dumpster.
• Compare Dumpster Rental Prices in Blair County - When comparing quotes, take a look at the fine print. Will there be additional charges for delivery or pickup? Will the dumpster rental company in Blair County charge you a fee if you need to keep it longer than anticipated? Are landfill charges included in the price?
